"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 percentage of you are military ex or current?

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Former Special Forces of Keckistan here. I was discharged and disavowed, for openly questioning Carl Benjamin's divinity one too many times

I tried to be an army officer in college, but for some reason I always made senior officers furious. One day my colonel slammed me against a wall until I agreed to quit rotc. As he told me that he would make the rest of my life "a living hell," he punctuated each of those three words with another slam against the wall, then kept repeating. It was a very persuasive argument.

Well, you did slather the g-string he wore under his dress uniform in Dave's Insanity Sauce, Belt. More than once. Ain't surprising that the dude didn't have much love for you afterwards

Hi Eli,
Your dodgy eyes saved you from what might have been a Dogs life...For me the Army was just like being in Prison but having a smarter uniform...First morning after Breakfast the Sargeant paraded us to allocate duties..."Who understands French here "he asked...No response,"OK anyone Know a little? I timidly responded that I had done three years in High School..."right you'll do smatarvse,you're on latrines".

Which brand? I was ready to join the Navy, I had the physical aptitude and I graduated from engineering at that time, but I found an engineering job and I didn't.

I wonder sometimes what could've been if I would've joined. Do you wonder too?
brand dont know about that but I applied to navy then marines.
