"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 a god awful peice of sh!t this is! I take my hat off to the marketers and promoters because they have done an awesome job of selling this crap, they really could sell ice to the eskimos
 

"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.

Windows 8 is absolutely rubbish.

Nothing beats user friendly ness.
They seem to have scrapped that idea and thrown in a clunky interface.

I work with windows 8 at my college and the only thing that makes it tolerable is learning the short cut keys.

Wouldn't recommend windows 8 to my worst enemy.

I'd recommend windows 7?

Format drive and install the operating system.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

You can't install XP on new computers. You get an error message about invalid file format.

No more keyboard jockeying . Action is the place.
I'm a Linux guy at heart :) I love Ubuntu but you better know shell commands. I duel booted my macbook with win8 and meh its lame. Its more of a tablet ui.
