"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 the HELL??? My rant about women who love FOOTBALL

"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.
Here is the thing...YOU chooce to sit through all the chick flicks, and to listen to the gossip and all that crap. YOUR choice as nobody was putting a gun to your head.insanity said:
Now...I do believe men and women must have some 'space'. Nothing better than watching a football game alone, while she is either cleaning the house or gossiping with her girlfriends or doing girly stuff.
You don't need to add "competiveness" in the relationship. Leave that for when you are playing dominoes or cards or table games.
And you don't want to surrender the "with the guys watching the game" element either.

She's probably into the emotional high of cheering for a team more than the actual sport. Ask her what a 46 defense is.STR8UP said:
I'd rather have a girl I can take to a game who won't be sitting there on her cellphone the whole time. If you want a super-femi girl, then dump the one you're with. Or date another girl behind her back.

"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.
What is WRONG is when a woman evaluates the relationship based on her partner's lack of interest for the same sport. Same goes with men valuing women on how much she dislikes sports.
