"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.

We're talking bourbon, scotch, rye, Tennessee whiskey, etc.

What's the best you've ever had?

For me it was the whistle pig rye 10 year old. It went down like liquid candy, gentlemen. Old fashioned chewy butterscotch.

Lets hear it. What's the best whiskey you've ever had.
 

"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.

Macallan's 18 but I've had top of the line Papi bourbon Im just a scotch guy
I've never had Papi but I know it's widely sought after and some of the prices I've seen on it are outrageous. Macallan 18 is good stuff.

Jack Daniel's number 7.
Good old Jack Daniels. The diet coke of whiskey :D

JD's single barrel select is very good. Comes in a decanter looking bottle. If you haven't tried it you should definitely do so in the future.

While back a couple of buddies and I went on a backpacking trip across Scotland, stopping at several distilleries. Each included a tour and plenty of samples.

I'd have to say one of those.
 

"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.

Blanton's bourbon, Laphroaig 10 year old scotch and Jhonny Walker Blue. The Blue was a gift, and while it was smooth as can be, I'd never spend that much myself.

When I was 19, I drank most of a fifth of Jim Beam black label, and then puked it everywhere during a Nine Inch Nails concert. It was not one of my finer moments. I haven't been able to stomach whiskey since then.

Yeah it's crazy how early memories like that can affect you all the way throughout your life.

I've actually never had JW Blue. I'd really like to try it though.

I'd love to do that one day. Which distilleries were you able to visit?
 

"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.

Don't remember the exact names, but we started in Skye and ended up in Aberdeen after a week or so. Glen Ord, Glenfiddich, Glen Garioch, and a few others.

More than the whiskey, the people (and the ladies) especially in the boonies were friendly as hell.
