"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.

I'm of the position that you can pretend to be what you want but there are times reality needs to be utilized for decisions regarding these individuals. You can call yourself a toaster but at the end of the day, reality dictates the truth.

What's your position on these individuals? Do you respect preferred pronouns including the new ones such as ze? Do you raise your children to respect reality and learn to be okay with who they were born, or do you buy hormones and assist them with their gender transition? Are there two genders or several?
 

"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.

If I had declared myself trans, I think I woild have done a lot better as an mma fighter. There is a dude who did that in Florida, and now he gets to fight girls. I have seen it in some high school sports, even. It is a lot easier for a boy to get a college scholarship when he competes against girls.

I understand the position. But there are times it needs to be addressed. When they want to use government provided healthcare in countries like Canada or the UK to transition. When they compete against women in competitive sports when they were born a man. When they use steroids to transition from female to male and continue to compete against women. When they demand you use their preferred pronoun in conversation. When they want to use the same restroom as a young girl when they use to be a man. These are issues that come up and it goes beyond it's their life they can live how they want to.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

If they need public money or special treatment, they are creating problems for my taste.
