"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I didn't disclose having a child on the first date, but seems like I should say something now. Thoughts?

I think linearly, so here it goes. I'm 36 years old, divorced with a two year old.

1. Went out with a 26 year old blonde, incredible tits a couple weeks ago, two dates total, no sex. Went to set up third date, which she initially agreed. Day before date sends a text saying that she was looking for something serious and did not want to pursue the relationship farther because I have a child (at least she was direct and honest).

2. Then, meet an Asian girl, 33 years old, single, no children, finishing up her law degree. Has high interest in me. Go out grab coffee and walk around town. Date ends with me kissing her in front of her high rise apartment. She playfully grabs my ass and d*ck, but that's as far as she'd let escalate.

3. I was a little snake bit from how the blonde had ended it bc of me having a child. And so although we hung out for several hours yesterday and texted before, I never disclosed that I had a child. She never asked. Did tell her I was divorced. At this point, and as much as we've talked, it seems like I should have probably brought it up.

4. When, how should I bring this up? Don't want to look like I am hiding something as she seems like she could potentially be a good LTR option. Also, don't want to get dropped for having a child...

I wouldn't mention anything unless the child lives with you on a regular basis

Eventually it will come up but hopefully she will be too far into her feelings to care

Same goes for divorce, you wanna keep things light and in the moment, heavy life-**** should be avoided imo

I’m surprised these women haven’t asked you about kids and if you’ve been married within the first 10 mins of talking to you. They usually go down the list and ask your job, if you have kids, have you ever been married and “what do you do for fun”.lol

People are dating initially for fun, not to get married. So why does kids or marriage status even matter for 3-6 month?

You’d have to ask women why that’s so important cause they’re the ones asking.
 

"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.

Lie to them. The singles have a points rating system that deducts for marriages and kids.
I don’t have to lie as I’ve never been married and don’t have kids. That’s usually followed with a look of confusion and then they ask why. I tell them because I won’t marry just anyone and I know how to use a condom lol

Thats a good lie for the men whove been married and have a kid or two. You see if the females are dating for fun and hookups it really doesnt matter.

Not sure about lying, I mean, MAYBE it could be viewed as mysterious. I would rather bat off the question with a joke....

Do you have any kids? Yeah twelve!
Have you been married? What happens in Vegas... ;-)

And then I'd quickly change the subject. Those are lame examples but you get the idea

If your gonna bone her 3-6 times and bounce does it really matter?
 

"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.

Possibly a long term with this one. I'm generally pretty straight forward guy. I have a damn car seat in my car that's a pain in the ass to get out.

I generally try to play things straight up.

It hurts us. They are VERY manipulative. You wouldnt go revealing information to other males who you discover to be self serving and manipulative.

yeah, it just seems inevitable that this will come out. Id have to have an excuse for not disclosing it. And not looking like a deceiver/liar.

If your doing FWB for a few months doesnt have to come out. After 3-6 months if you wanted to let her push further and somehow it was revealed just say she never asked. And you dont go spreading your personal business to just anyone.

“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.

Tell her, after sex.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
