"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.

It's crazy how often I encounter this: constant sarcasm, meanness, loudness, pettiness, ugliness, and just generally evil behavior among small town people.

I'm sure most of you have noticed this as well but there is a very strong correlation between looks and behavior. That is, people who are physically attractive are generally positive, optimistic, kind and have a generally kind and loving energy. Meanwhile those who are physically unattractive are often mean, negative, uncouth, bitter and often just downright evil.

This is why life in small towns is so unpleasant and often ugly and nasty: the PEOPLE embody those traits. And why? Because they are low value and have nothing of a positive nature to contribute.

The point is, BECOME a high value person if you are not already, then FIND other high value people to work, play and associate with.


Another thing I've noticed: the eyes of people in small towns are so dead. There's no life, no sparkle, no joy. They literally look catatonic. I used to find it funny and typical--I had seen it all too often before. But now it's just menacing. I know these people are ready to snap at any time and go bonkers for no reason. It's like a form of walking insanity. Actually it IS walking insanity.

I don't see much difference between the average person in a small town and so-called "deranged" homeless people.

"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.

I grew up in a small town. Can confirm. As soon as I could I moved to the city.

I've been to small towns where people were polite. It has to do with the quality of the people.

I was actually thinking about this a few hours ago. I had to go into a WalMart and I could not believe the degeneration I saw there. I saw transsexual lesbians with beards, morbidly obese people in carts, a young female (can't call her a lady) dropping the F bomb about five times because a stock clerk said that they were out of stock on something, lots of ugly tattoos, etc.
