Because I'm looking back at how insane they are.
"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 wish some of my posts could be deleted

"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.

there's really no way to do that?
"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.

So....you see how "insane" you looked in your past posts. GOOD.
I'm glad you finally see what was GLARINGLY OBVIOUS to everyone else. KEEP LOOKING AT THEM. Maybe the shame and embarrassment you feel will be enough to keep you sane and in reality. And also be THANKFUL....
If you're truly self-aware to the point you've grown past and out of your SELF-INDUCED paranoia,be thankful. Be thankful that you're not locked in an eternal,self-inflicted,mental cycle of despair and defeatism like BigDave. Cause honestly,when I read all your other threads,I kinda dubbed you "BigDave 2.0".
Glad to see I was mistaken.
