"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Here's a short conversation I had with a chick from my class after showing her a picture of my body.



They're insecure with men who look better than them.

The mind of a woman. How does it work?
 

"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.

He won't post a pic.

Some guys post because they're bored.

It's also a subtle way to pat themselves on the back.
I've posted pics before. The last thing people want to see here is guys pics. I'm average looking but at 6'5" 235 and blue eyes, I can pull off the Quarterback at press conference look on a good night.

Truth be told, I had already passed on those girls. They were all 7's and I normally date 8's, so that was probably their point.

Perhaps bro but you should know girls say anything in the moment that reflects their mood. Maybe they were being flirty, maybe they wanted a bigger tip, maybe their were ovulating, or maybe you are just that good looking. For you to analyze such comments from 3 waitresses who serve food for a living is a waste of time.

And come on, you think a girl wouldn't go out with a doctor or lawyer or banker or politician because he is too good looking? That would be the dumbest and most idiotic excuse ever for her to use. So much rationalizing going on here. It's brutal.
One girl can fake it. But four in a group? How often in your life did you have four girls agree on something and later learn it was a conspiracy (not counting Obama supporters)? I took home $189,452 last year. Don't give me this doctor sh*t.

You sure it wasn't because you have endlessly told them about how much money you make, that you've probably spent a few hundred dollars on each of them from time to time, and that you are so much better than your loser roommate?
I gave them about $5 per month on average. Yesterday I brought a model home and asked my roommate to play the piano for her and he came through in the clutch, so he's learning.

is there such a thing as a woman who looks "too hot"? Sounds like a post from a guy who's nothing of the kind.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

no, I am not confused. If there's no such thing as a woman who's too hot, neither is there any such thing as a guy who's "too good looking".

@bigneil You sound like me. I'm 6'5" also, only difference is my eyes are gray and I'm 205 lbs (super fast metabolism lets me eat anything and in any quantity). I'm sure you also understand and are well aware of the frustration of finding good clothing. Want anything decent and it all has to be custom tailored...

See, you should become a piano man so you don't have to rely on your roommate for that.
 

"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.

Big Neil...has that oversized white guy look...like he said....he can pull off the quarterback in nice clothes look that most women who grew up in front of their dads TV would go for. ...add a beemer. And his smartness...of course most women would value him high.

Not hating....

Got dealt good cards...in that regard.

If anything...it's exploitative of what is on American TV day and night.

I give him a tall 6 on looks...plus money... A 7...plus sweet words out his mouth... A girl would settle with an 8... Her thinking that other girls wished they had him


No homo. No disrespect.

I say this with a grain of salt cuz there's a flaw in his psychology cuz with all he has...he could of been the Tom Brady.

You can't be too good looking when attracting women, all this means is that you can attract better quality women. But if you are looking to get into a relationship then it is true that women will only feel comfortable if they think you have some flaws. Not to worry, we all have flaws, and women are masters of kidding themselves, they will amply your 'flaws' to the point where they think they offset their own shortcomings.

Just being 6'5" would be a huge advantage IMO. The "flaw in his psychology" remark made me laugh, because if there's a common thread among guys on this forum, it's probably that most of us get in our own way lol.
