"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.

The saddest part of all this is that we often grant them that luxury, based only off their appearance.
Indeed, we willingly forfeited all this...due to lingering chivalry memes.

Meanwhile, they've been employing cut-throat guerilla warfare on us. :crackup:


Thing is, if women gain all the same rights as us, but less responsibility - well, you can see the huge inequality this creates. But, this is precisely what has happened! Because, feminists have ALWAYS fought for equal RIGHTS, but NEVER equal RESPONSIBILITY. Which is decidedly UNfair...but again, men have been asleep at the wheel and allowed it to happen.
 

"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.

Wouldn't you like to know? ;)
I'll never give in to the Matrix. Ever. I'll be my own man, and any woman who doesn't want that, cant get the fvck out of my life. It's my life, I came into this world alone and that's how I'm gonna leave. So while I'm here, I'm going to do what I want. :)

IMO anyone who talks like that is already owned by the matrix. The matrix doesn't exist. I am the matrix, I am the man. If you don't like it, too bad, I am the man, so pay your taxes folks cuz I need more money.

Well there´s a saying that states "10% of the population dominate the other 90%". Think about wars, "holy wars" that have nothing holy in it, only a hole! Read the books from robert greene and about narcissism and you will get the picture. Those who proclaim to be the paragons of society, tend to be the most corrupt ones. It´s all smoke and mirrors, see Enron. At the company where I work they proclaim "This is the best company of the world, here you can be promoted and have a wonderful life", at the same time they´re cutting off the use of air conditioning, coffee-breaks and make you work like a horse so you ´re unable to have life outside work. Give me a break man!

*Knowledge is indeed power. That´s the only way out of the matrix. I wouldn´t say way out, but way through!!
I think that it* is the only legitimate weapon we have. The tricky part is knowing the veracity of this knowledge.

"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.
