"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.

I'm curious what percentage of members have achieved their own goals.

There are three states: married, in a relationship and single. For each state there are two options: happy and unhappy. Thus, there are a total of 3 x 2 = 6 choices. I think that covers them all.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Separated and in a LTR. Being separated wasn't really my goal, but I've upgraded to a better woman.
To clarify, for this poll, separated = single, because it can't possibly be considered (by experienced forum members, though maybe AFC's) to be a happy relationship.

I find it hard to believe the 100% of forum members are happy.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Single, although in the early stages now of dating a few women.

My happiness varies. Somedays I feel great, others not so much.

Single and happy in overall. Feeling depressed sometimes that I'm still a virgin but I'm very satisfied in overall with my progress with the results of last month.

My goal for March is to improve my game on the real world and try to be more funny and escalate more.

Is she out riding the c0ck carousel, or does she sit at home and knit while you're out getting laid?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Lol. Sitting at home. She knows what I do, but it hurts her whenever I bring it up. Even when I'm kidding about it. So I won't tell her what's going on unless she asks.

You've created an imbalanced situation, which cannot last.
At some point she is going to wake up and not put up with it anymore, unless she has zero self-respect. This is the "it is the nature of plates to spin out" rule.

But it doesn't sound like you care about her anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
