"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.

what is it with the trend in man purse?

I regularly see some guys carry a large purse. I am not talking about messenger bag or gym bag. These guys carry a real purse like a woman. Are they gay? :eek:
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I wish it was acceptable for men to carry purses. I kind of envy that about women as they're pretty damn handy for carrying a lot of sh-t around that you can't easily fit in your pockets. I always have to ask the girl to put my stereo faceplate, Ipod, GPS nav and whatever else I don't want to leave in the car into her purse.

Emo-metro fags. I'd have more respect for them if they were gay.

Ask George Constanza.

(But seriously, there's a "trend" for man purses? I've never seen any in practice.)

I have. They were all the rage in Europe for a while.

Speakeasy - I dont understand why you would need more then you pockets. Wallet, keys, cellphone. What else do you need to carry with you?
 

"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.

I didn't think that was still going on. For guys, I'd say just carry a survival knife like Rambo. You have your sewing kit, fishing line with hook, some matches, and whatever else you can fit in it. Then just in case you have to cut somebody, hey, use the blade...

Here here. In the summer cargo shorts have saved my life in my free time.

I carry a mail bag, it has my lap top and my note book in it but I use it exclusively for work. It looks rustic and rugged though and no one gives me sh*t for it. If it however were smaller, I'd give my self sh*t for carrying a purse. None the less, having a bag of some sort during the day is both functional and practical and it's where girls have us beat a bit because they get to carry one all day and of varying sizes...even hookers have a small purse!
 

“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 carry a Fag Bag...but don't see very many people giving me sh~t about it (probably because of my size).

But...i did have some smart ass punk (about 19-20yr) once say to me "hey...i thought only girls carry bags?"

I looked at him and asked...
"Well sonny boy...where do you carry Your Gun?"

(He watched my hand as I slid the zipper of my gun pouch open carryfully revealing the stainless steel handle of my holstered 9mm).

LOL...You should have seen the look on this kids face (lol)....his eyeballs got big...and his mouth pinched closed and then he got pale... and nervous... and then looked down...and then shuffled for a bit and then turned....and then bolted off with his buddy.

HAHA...not many people know what a gun bag looks like...

So before you say something stupid,... think twice before opening your mouth. What you see...may just be a Gun Bag.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I just use a satchel if I have to carry important stuff like bank papers that can't be folded up, otherwise it just gets stuffed into my jackets pockets.

EDIT: lol at the guy with the concealed firearm. That's genius if you did that, and it's legal.

This just makes more of them for me to dominate as I take their gfs in the process.
