"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.

A better place, a better time.
Write now I'm using the Samsung Alias (SCH-u740) because I like the full keyboard and don't really give a **** for the other features phones have now... web browsing, GPS, games and all that bull****.

I'm wondering what you guys are using. I was messing around with the crap in the Verizon store today and trying to text felt cumbersome and slow on basically everything in there, from keypads to touchscreens.

So I'm wondering what you guys have and how you like it.

For me, the Alias rules because all I do talk, take pictures, and text, and the keyboard is by far the best I've used. It's also extremely tiny and compact which is a huge plus for me. But the speaker broke when it fell off a roller coaster and now I need to get a new phone :|

Still using the V3 Razr. Does the job. It let's me make and take calls, text message, check email and get some news and basic info. I don't need a phone that can wipe my ass for me.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Seconded. It does every thing I want it to.

If I wanted to browse the web and look at videos on the go, I'll use my laptop. The only thing I wish it had was some actual storage space for music. But since I already have an mp3 player, it's not worth getting a new phone.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Just bought an LG Vu about a month ago and I love it, but it turns out that I'm going to need more functionality for business so I have an iPhone on the way.

Has some other benefits as well. Chick I know docked hers in a boombox and we were listening to internet radio from it today. That was pretty cool.....

Fuze, AKA HTC Touch Pro

It's a good windows mobile phone but the screen is too small, the touch display is resistive instead of capacitive, and the interface is a little slow. The keyboard is one of the best though which I like because I text a lot. Regardless, it's not worth getting right now because the Touch Pro 2 is coming out soon, which will have a bigger screen, better keyboard, faster processor, and supposedly one of the best speakerphones they can stick in a handset

I got an HTC Touch PRo as well.

I don't e-mail/text/etc. a lot so I canceled my data plan. I really only use it for the calendar and reminders which are SOOO useful in organizing my life you know hat I mean ? I used to have a touch screen phone where u can input stuf but that took WAY too ****in long and a keyboard increased my usage of the calendar like 100%. :)
 

"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 use a Sony z750a with AT&T. It has good reception, good sound quality, long battery life and a good texting software, all the things I put most importance on. It has a good camera too, as Sony always does. I would probably put Motorola as having the best signal reception and overall quality feel with Sony a very close second in those 2 areas. Sony probably has a better menu setup and texting. I would only use a Sony or Motorola.

some cheap $30 prepaid phone, no picture messaing, no camera, takes calls and sends txts that's it. I don't want to get radiation to my brain I use my cell phone as little as possible mostly for texting.
You need to be wearing your tin foil hat! Alien probes in your ass would be MUCH worse than the tumor caused by cell phone radio waves. Hide! Hide!!!!!!





On a side note, I just got my iPhone and it's DA BOMB.

A little bulkier than the Vu, but the touch screen is sooooo much easier to use.

I think I'm gonna like it.....

Palm Pre

Gotta say 1 more thing, I MIGHT get the Palm Pre.

That phone truly looks like an iPhone killer. I'm going to wait and see how the plans for that phone are because I heard Sprint is gonna force me on their everything data plan (99.99 for unlimited everything) for the Palm Pre....

...however the AT&T data plans for iPhone are expensive as gold as well, ad AT&T fvcking rations 3G access where as Sprint does not.

So not sure whether to switch or not, my contract is up soon so I need to decide AHHHHHHHH!!!

Most likely I will keep my current phone though and save money...it is a recession you know.
 

"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.
