"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.

"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 dunno. I'm overweight and I do just fine. Could use to lose a couple of pounds for health, actual health, but I sarge and pick up just as good.

It's not so much health that affects your mind state, but rather how well you perceive yourself. If you are terribly self-conscious over your weight, it's going to affect you no matter what. You can be tall/short, fat/thin, circumcised/uncircumcised, but if you are not confident with who you are (that is, the sum of all physical, psychological, and social aspects that define "you"), then you've got a problem to solve.

I do find it quite interesting how whenever I seem at the top of my game and getting some girls I never deal with acne that much, yet when I'm stressed out and have low self esteem I get some.

I remember 2 years ago I had a great gf for 2 months and there wasnt a problem in the world, then I think it was literally not even a week after she dumped me I broke out. Ha
 

"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.
