"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Finishing up my degree, so working part-time and studying full-time.

Working in a Real Estate Investment firm, specializing in insurance for high net-worth clients.

Bringing home $540/pw, however some weeks I have to work full-time where I bring in about $1100/pw. Once I graduate, that will go north to $1500/pw. In 3-5 years that will go north to around $2,300/pw ... If I choose to stay in the industry. Honestly it's not very fun right now, kinda boring and difficult at the same time.

Pays the bills. :up:

A little off topic I guess ...

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Lots of weapons systems work fine just the way they are.

I'm flattered brother. I majored in business with a minor in insurance. Quit halfway through my MBA cuz I got sick of it. I started college late as I was in the Army. Just wanted to go to work, and I did.

Kinda sounds like you should get your CPA. I have a good buddy who is a CPA. He eventually went out on his own and started his own firm. He makes tons of money and is worth several million for sure.

What do you want to do with your education? You can pm me if you wish.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I never did like working for someone else, so I did all kinds of things to avoid it. I worked for an employer for about 4 years out of 30.

Most of the time I've been renovating and building. Bought a few houses and at one time was an indoor gardener of exotic substances. :whistle:
I'm not rich, but I always set my own schedule and rarely get that Monday morning dread that a lot of people seem to.
