"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.

If ever I had another reason not to use this pro-feminist app it's this.I just read in the news where Bumble will not allow any more pictures with guns in them on their site.I have done quite well with gun pics in the past on my dating profiles..just another swipe at real men imo....what do you think ?
 

"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 wish they would ban duck faces as all those do for me is make me think of going duck hunting with my guns.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I used to just post a couple of pics of me in Desert Storm holding the old M16A1 rifle and some hunting pics as well.

I don't see how disallowing gun pics on Bumble makes it safer. If anything it makes its more dangerous, because now you don't know who is into guns and who isn't.
Guns are very popular amongst girls in my state. For a while pics of girls at the gun range was more trendy than their stupid snap chat filters.

And @MidnightCity, 22% of females own guns! I've dated several that own them. They usually seek men that are into guns as well. Its a way to set yourself apart from the crowd and have something in common.

On a side note...The chic that runs bumble used to work for Tinder. She got sideways with them and filed a sexual harassment lawsuit and won. That's where she got the start up money for Bumble.

Well guns are very difficult to own legally in nyc and I’m not really a criminal so yea.....that doesn’t really have a bearing on my masculinity. But I wonder what the numbers are for women that own dogs or are animal lovers in general
US cities that are tough on guns like LA,and especially Chicago are the ones with the highest crime rates.The cities with the lowest crime rates make it easy to own a gun.Libtards in NYC and Chicago can kill themselves off though as far as I'm concerned the world will be a better place if they do.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Not really related about guns but I notice that european cities where violence is common happen to have thugs and immigrants to behave the best.

On the other side peaceful and safe low violence enviroments (till 10yrs ago) are the ones where you cant even hit the main train station without unwanted attention.

It seems to me that in a globalized world where no enviroment is disconnected from others, violence in some way or an other tends to level up.

Btw I own guns but at the same time I realize most of europeans (southerns especially) clearly lack the education and temper to make a good use of them.

You should probably see a therapist.

It's okay to like guns, but you won't pick up any ***** by putting guns all over your profile. It's the same concept as pictures of your new sports car, albeit even worse because guns are killing machines and death doesn't make women feel comfortable (all dating sites cater to women). People don't care about your fetish nearly as much as you do.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
