"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.

I know you can't run away from your problems but what if you've already moved on?

My ex & I have been broken up for over 15 months already, when I see her its as if I have this screen between her & me to the point where I don't feel anything. But people still love to mention it from time to time. Its as if i'm in the scarlett letter & have an A written on my chest for everyone to see. This girl has told the WORLD our story & uses it(and bends it to her benefit) to gain peoples sympathy. I've moved on & i've tried living my life for the right reasons & not dwelling on the past, so I don't play on winning people over to "my side" because i'm over it. But i'm starting to feel as if I am a P**SY for being so passive, but I've honestly had enough. Do I turn the other cheek or do I fight everyone for what is the truth. Am I a p**Sy for not putting everyone in their place (even though I feel by doing this i'm going back in time).

Any real honest or experienced opinions are welcomed & looked forward to.

Anything you say can and will be twisted and used against you. Not to mention to add to peoples enjoyment to their dull, mundane everyday 'lives'.

I'd just respond: Don't ask me. Isn't that why God created Facebook and twitter? They're the nimrod's Wikipedia of daily mis-information.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

When I was in that situation, I'd just make people feel lame for bringing it up. Just say something like, "Seriously, man? That was a year and a half ago. Haven't you found anything new to talk about in the past two years?"

I mean, don't get angry. Just be kinda sarcastic about it. It makes them look like geeks for continuing to talk about last year's news.

Good advice. You can also just pretend to look a bit suprised and say something along the lines of "wow, I had no idea this stuff was so important to you".
