"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.

www.slate.com/articles/life/dear_pr...ted_my_best_friend_will_i_get_over_this_.html

I met my fiancé at a house party. I was there with my best friend, who happens to be gorgeous. He began talking to us and kept talking to me after my best friend left. We made plans to hang out later, and over the next three months our friendship evolved into a wonderful relationship. Recently my fiancé and his good friend had a falling out, and in an act of spite his friend forwarded me a series of emails from around the time we first met. By reading them I learned that, initially, my fiancé only spent time with me because he wanted to have a shot with my best friend. He called me plain, repetitive, and mildly annoying. I know those aren't harsh criticisms, and that they come from the first few days of our friendship. But I'm still upset, because those are my worst fears about myself, and it hurts to know that the person I'm marrying thought those things about me too. My fiancé couldn't be more apologetic, and he's been very sweet and reassuring to me since I received the emails. (He didn't say those things out of hand, they were answers when his friend asked him about me.) I know he loves me so much. I still can't put those emails out of my mind, though—what can I do to get back to being a happy bride-to-be?
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

It's understandable she's upset, but it shouldn't derail an otherwise good relationship. She needs to get over it.

Welcome to reality sweetcheeks.

Almost every person that gets married out there, is married to someone who wasn't their first choice. (That is often true for women who end up marrying the beta provider instead of the Alpha player).

Just be glad you were at the right place at the right time because your man could have done better then you.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

So much for women claiming to appreciate and respect honesty from a man.

As I've always said, women claim to want truthfulness, but they NEVER want full disclosure.

Hey Rollo great work on your blog, I was wondering if in future you could analize in detail the relationship existing between two who are not engaged yet and are somehow too much for being friends and not enough for being lovers.

The dynamics of that explained in the same way you explained many others would be really helpful to young lads who upgrade from betaness but still are not "in" in alphadom.

I tried ask about this to both competent friends and this board but it seems something uncommon yet.

Most who claim they respect honesty can never take it when they do get it and that goes for men too. I always thought the world would be full of less bs and more people could get what they wanted out of life if folks would just be straight up and stop pretending. Let the chips fall where they do. Move on if you can't take it.

Man, Prudie actually had a pretty good answer for this one. Amazing.

Question is, where is the gorgeous best friend now? Did her fiance actually pursue her and get shot down, or did he actually choose this girl? Hmmm.

Whenever a woman asks me to be honest (implied or otherwise), I run this line through my head first:

"Anything you say can and *will* be used against you. You have the rights to remain silence."
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
