"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.

When, if ever, does a DJ choose to turn from the carefree and exciting dating world and choose to pursue JUST ONE woman in his life?

When, if ever, is one woman deserving of a committed and exclusive relationship with a DJ?

I would love to see what you all think before I give my own opinion away.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

You will know. When you simply lose interest in ****ing other women when you don't have to force it. There is staying loyal becuase it's the right thing to do and then there is staying loyal becuase you really don't want anyone else, and no one else

The whole point of plates.. you don't spin plates for the sake of spinning plates, you do so with purpose. If I can't find another plate that I look forward to being with, or better stated, when I don't want anymore plates because i would rather be with this one, you know you got one.

To me spinning plates gives me a baseline of comparison.

It sounds odd, but I am with other woman for the sake of the one i am most interested in. It keeps me in check and ultimately makes me better with the one in the lead.

I still dont trust that I would realize a good thing if it hit me over the head though...

1) When you are determined to have and raise kids ..

2)... and more importantly when you have the experience and firepower to cherry-pick that one "special" woman from the masses ..

.. knowing she's really of the same fabric as all the rest and that she comes with slight "mods" and "tweaks" to your liking.

Of course there's probably a large spread in terms of their qualities and I am not doing justice to all the high-quality, educated, and dignified women out there, ... but I am assuming I am already fishing from the higher quality portion.
 

"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.

Life Is Learning,
When a DJ is thinking of settling to one....The poor fellow is Dilerious,Take him to a Cool,Quiet Darkened Room,place a moist towel on his face and have him lie down for a while,the fit will pass,like a bad dream....Seriously though having lots of DJ's on my Dance Scene some into their seventies,they tend to lose energy and prefer the company of some Woman they have broken in,they see the Plates less regularly and this will go on for a few years,then they drift to another little bollard,for a few more years....That is if they are never stupid enough to let some Woman live with them.

1. When you finally realize that getting laid and surface beauty means nothing.

2. When you realize the things that are truly important to you in a partner.

3. When you become a good enough man to attract and keep a woman like that.

4. When you literally "win the lottery" and find a woman who meets your criteria.

The vast majority of guys seem stuck on #1?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
It's not a matter of just "getting bored with f**king other women".

Two things I've found that have kept me single:

1) I want to find a woman who EXPANDS my universe from me being in a committed relationship with her, not one who CONTRACTS it. Many/most common men, when they marry, it becomes a reason to give up the bulk of the things he enjoys in life to "honor a commitment". Why would you even make such a commitment?? I need a woman who enriches me as a person.

2) It's frustrating when you want to f**k someone, but you're bound to a woman's schedule. That's the biggest advantage of "spinning plates"...you're not forced to rely on one woman's wiles for your sexual satisfaction or even your romantic companionship.

Personally, I think that if you have to ask yourself the question, she's probably NOT worth it. Not YET, anyway...don't rule a woman out just because after 3 months or something you haven't formed that "special bond" with her. But when it's time to form a committed pair bond, you should KNOW, you shouldn't have to ASK.

I met my current gf at the peak of my game/plates-spinning. Heck, I didn't even invite her out the first coming weekend after we met because I was already too busy with other girls. The first few weeks we dated I was booked. I mean I would sometime go on 3 consecutive dates: pre-dinner drinks with one chick, dinner and drinks with another, and late evening drinks with a third.

However, after a few weeks, I simply lost interest in spending time with the other chicks. It became a simple equation: I only have so many free hours in a day, who do I want to spend them with? the answer was with my gf, and that's how we started becoming exclusive.
