"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 you can buy consent than it obviously has nothing to do with attraction. Doesn't this mean consent is a social construct and therefore not a real thing?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

$140k, through my lawyer, disguised as a campaign expense.
Can't help but notice that you're biased towards Trump.

Yes he does fumble on many issues but it's undeniable that he has some skills with negotiating with other countries, might be brash to some but it's the results that matters. He does get things done.

It's highly doubtful that hillary could get better results.

What results? What has Trump done besides kiss North Korea's ass and make the rest of the world laugh at us? Hillary is a detestable human being, which is why Trump squeaked out a very narrow victory, but at least we wouldn't be the laughingstock of the world for electing an incompetent buffoon.

Under Obama North Korea got from bad to worse. At least with Trump there's some tangible results, it's not ideal but it's moving along.

Yes, the world laughs at Trump, but I think what he does is all showmanship on his part, perhaps a strategy that's yet to play out. America is doing great economically, trade imbalances is being addressed aggressively.

Give him some breathing space and by the end of his term, judge him then.
 

"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.

LOL! Wasn't originally that Trump was going to start a nuclear war by insulting Kim?

Now he kissed his ass. This is rich, it's why i love fake news.
Yeah, he saluted a foreign dictator, which as far as I know is a first for this country. It was an insult to our country, our flag, and every soldier. Only a draft dodger like 45 could behave so disrespectfully.

So what if he did salute him? Kim has denuclearized his country and is working closely with South Korea to bring their people together.

It amazes me the hate from the alt-left despite such immense progress.

Insulting Kim was bad, now saluting him is bad. The alt-left literally are the BPD women of the US.
Obviously you have never been active duty military, which is why you dont understand. It is not right for our leader to salute the enemy. It is demoralizing and demeaning to our troops, and to our country.

But hey, really though, what else do you expect from the poor little rich boy who was too good to serve?
