"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.

Would YOU give special treatment to a celebrity?

What is with all this celeb worship and idol worship?

Not in my world, celebs are no different than us - I'm not giving her any special treatment - I love how this celeb got OWNED

I worship God only, and I know 2 things

#1 There is a God

#2 You are NOT him

I've met a few singers and rappers in social situations in Atlanta. The ones I've met seemed like nice enough people and if you treat them like normal folks they act like normal folks and appreciate the lack of fame worshiping. Andre from Outcast was one of the coolest celebrities I ever met, really down to earth guy who just seemed happy to be a rapper. Vanilla Ice was the biggest douchebag I ever met for someone who was completely washed up at the time.

Short answer= Hell NO!!

Longer answer= I would treat them like any one else.

Longest answer= Take Sandra Bullock, for instance. She once did nothing for more, but as I get older, as does she, I find her hot. I would treat her better than Jesse James did. But I still would not worship her.

Celebrity worship isn't something that men really do. Celebrity's just don't seem that special.

Women are the ones who "fall in love" with celebs and will watch a movie just because x person is in it. There isn't any question about it, who are magazines like Star and people aimed at?

I wouldn't bother getting autographs or even trying to talk to them, unless they were a very attractive woman. Then they'd be worth my time. And even then I wouldn't treat them any differently than any other woman.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Excuse me, how many men worship the ground professional athletes walk on? How many men would give their right nut to get an autograph from Michael Jordan?

Now, you can say: 'Oh well those guys are talented, so they deserve our worship.'

Uh, no they don't. I admire their abilities, but in the end, they are just human. Jordan sucks at baseball and as a majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, he even drafted Kwame Brown.

Hmm, as somebody who has zero interest in professional sports I hadn't considered athletes as celebrities.

You do have a point that some men do worship athletes. I guess men aren't better than women in that area.
