"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.

Do people not realize how DUMB this show makes adults look? These people are already in binds trying to make money to start up failed businesses, finance trips and criminally overpriced education but do we have to look desparate and STUPID at the same time?

Every show people are struggling to answer questions that people in the 5TH GRADE are learning. A lot of them should know that stuff anyway. If they were paying attention that is. At the end of the show, without fail, the contestant has to take the stare of shame and say "My name is Cunt Jackmeoff and I am NOT smarter than a 5th grader" "A yuk yuk". It really is embarrassing but millions of Americans tune in nightly, or daily, with a big smile on their faces to see what **** education they've really received in their lifetimes. And they are ok with it. Can you imagine if somebody actually was "smarter" than a 5th grader? People would look at the winner like they were a fucking asshole.

Think of the message we're sending to the children. Indirectly we're telling them "Hey none of this **** you're learning right now means anything. It's meaningless". Of course the children are too young to look at it this way but at least one of them are going to make the same discovery I made. "Hey I was on "5th Grader" back in 2010 but none of the adults could beat me. What the **** was I learning any of this **** for?" And unfortunately the saga is just going to continue on and on of lousy piss poor education and happy to know nothin ideologies. I don't know if this show is blasted to other countries or if they have their own versions of "5th Grader" but to me it's not a good look for the States.

"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.

Haha!

I was wondering this exact question myself recently.

They don't even have decent celebrities on it anyways.

Why is America's Funniest Home Videos on? How many times can you watch a nut shot?

Probably because there is an endless supply of people who "Are [NOT] Smarter Than A 5th Grader."

Are You DUMBER Than A 5th Grader? is more like it and apparently we are. These jackasses get hustled by children on a daily basis.

Be more like me, I quit watching television and focused my attention on the pursuit of truth. I mainly listened to Alex Jones show, Hour Of Our Time with William Cooper (old shows), then I watched every film that there is about subjects such as 9/11, the great depression, WW2, American tax system, the Fed, etc.

End result, I wouldn't touch TV even if you gave me money.

I'm in Russia now, I still don't watch it. TV is a psychological weapon. It's a mind control machine. Propaganda and ideas are transmitted right into your living room, and most of us are paying for it. We eat like a tube, dress like a tube, think like a tube, it's mass madness.

Hollywood (magician's holly wood) is a psychological weapon too to a large extent, but I still enjoy a movie, which I download via torrent. I refuse to give them my money.

That box is designed to dumb you down, end result there are masses of people who are dumber than a 5th grader. You think you could be smarter than a 5th grader? I doubt it, years of fluoridated drinking water and television took a toll on your IQ level.

The reason that stupid show is on is because it's dumb. People develop rapport with it.
 

"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.

Think of the show as the long running public service announcement.
