Damn that's 2 slaps now. Dude is whipped literally.
Oh, I forgot I'm just a hater.
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.

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.
That's what truly sucks about being engaged.backbreaker said:biggest arguement that my fiancee and i ever got into, at keeneland, my god, man its' just..wow. We weren't even really exslusive yet, but I liked her enough to take her to kentucky with me at the time. Saw a group of college girls, they saw me, while I wasn't going ut of my way to talk to them i wasn't turning them away either. Went back to my now fiancee, and she slapped the **** out of me lol and left. I couldn't even get mad lol. I earned that one.:kick: got so bad i actually had to check get a seperate room. I thought we were done for a minute. It took me swallowing my ego and relaizing it wasn't cool to take a girl from cali to kentucky only to hit on other girls in front of her, and apologize, had I not done that we would have been done.
If you can go in the fall go in the fall. Better weather, women come out dressing swankier. Nothing but sundresses, mini skirts and legs and heels.
You're just a hater. Don't question it he's happy. He's only been slapped twice.Boilermaker said:That's what truly sucks about being engaged.
You can't even "flirt" with other women for the rest of your life.
:crackup:
Right then, if it was OK for Patrick Swayze to dance, then its OK for me.jophil28 said:Gawd knows i've tried to tell you boneheads many times where to go to find a LOT of women of all ages and levels of hotness.![]()
You want another clue? OK
The first word is Salsa the second word is Class.
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.
My city has what they call a "Leisure Guide". I don't know if all cities have one, but it's basically a listing of activities and stuff around the city. A lot is aimed at kids, parents and seniors, but there's stuff for whomever. That's where I found the dance class schedules. They list the price, what it's about, when it takes place, etc.Zunder said:*How did you get into it Jophil, this dancing thing?
I AM a total dunce when it comes to dancing. That's why these things exist. I'll be taking a beginner's class because I don't know jack about dancing.*Were you a total dunce beginner when it came to dancing (like I would be)?
So what?*What happens if you crack a boner while you are up close and personal with your dancefloor partner?
I have to step in here and say that Rollo is absolutely right. I eat at Panera Bread a lot. There are TONS of girls and women, and lots of pickup attempts.Rollo Tomassi said:Panera Bread. Seriously. We have one close by the Florida Mall and my God,.. it's like a meat market for attractive, women over 30. I go there for the free wireless and the food's not bad, if a bit overpriced. All I hear is pick up while I eavesdrop. It's crazy.
Difference being, one of the times, I actually deserved it. I took a woman half way across the country and got too big for my britches and was basically gaming up women right in front of her. Honestly, I earned that one, I would have slapped me to. With that said I know you are simply trying to be cute and all so I will let it be.Bluntmaster said:You're just a hater.

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.
Thats OK for you Yanks - but no Panera Bread here in Kiwiland.Darth said:I have to step in here and say that Rollo is absolutely right. I eat at Panera Bread a lot. There are TONS of girls and women, and lots of pickup attempts.
Panera Bread is the new barscene.
Ha ha, I don't care about the team, I'm too busy getting busy with women in dance class.Zunder said:Right then, if it was OK for Patrick Swayze to dance, then its OK for me.
Because I too am sick of bar-beeatches.

*Oh, and unrelated, but what the hell happened to your Cricket team? Even the Kiwis might rack up a few wins against you Aussies at the moment.
We all were once newbies. Don't worry about the boner. You'll be too busy thinking about your steps and routines. Second ballroom dances aren't like club. You don't grind ur crotches with her all the time.Zunder said:Right then, if it was OK for Patrick Swayze to dance, then its OK for me.

Thanks for the tip, when I get back to a real city I'll try it. In my backwater town the women go to Panera for one purpose and one only, to stuff their faces. Anyone who dares approach might get a finger chewed off.Rollo Tomassi said:Panera Bread. Seriously.

All joking aside, going back to college to finish a long lost class was the best thing that happened to me this year. Only 2 and a half months, but wow.Bible_Belt said:Beyond that, in regard to finding women, I would just go back to college.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
So she loves fvcking horses, huh?backbreaker said:she like my fiancee is an exercise rider. she now lives in florida working at gulfstream park. not rich, not even really middle class, just loves ****ing horses.
I have no doubt that the dance class suggestion is a good one. But remember, jophil is a dance instructor, that makes him the "situational alpha male" in his classes. Of course he's going to be getting some good responses.jophil28 said:Zunder, just go to a few different classes and try them for "feel". You will know when you are in one that suits you.
Secondly, start with the Salsa scene, It is FULL of 20 to 40 year old hotties .
Yes, it takes time to learn.Jitterbug said:You can't just walk into any social scene and expect immediate returns.
It took me about 7 months in my dance scene and I'm a natural.
If people expect everything to be easy, then they'll continue to get nothing.
