"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.

Sounds a lot like the dating advice given to men. Invest less than her, she'll pursue you if she's high interest, spin plates.
I would mention that, someone was reading our forums here, with is funny really, most dumb men would pursuit her anyway, but if a woman is in such a bad state she HAD to buy a book like this, it wouldn't change sh!t for her.
 

"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.

This type of stuff only works with men that are simps. But that is probably 70% of the guys to some extent or another these days.

Interesting point. Maybe it only works on the guys they don't want. Sort of like how "game" didn't work on the girl Neil Strauss really liked.

I'm hanging around such community online, diary on an OLD site, honestly, full of women in their late past the wall, 20 cats minimum and a lot of fantasies, and of course a lot of beta males. This type of stuff is used by women in their 30s, often late 30s, that are good high 6s, some have kids some don't, and some already have husbands and some are looking. Yes, some appear to have rich beta male husbands. So this stuff must work in some way.

These books make money but change very little.
I don't think there is much difference between the PUA books and sites either. It all seems to be generally the same stuff.
 

"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.

If you pick a low maintenance wife and both of you live within your means, it's even possible to live on one income, even with 3 kids and 2 dogs at that... Been doing that for the past 10 years...
Same here. I'd even say I've gotten ahead by doing this.

I don't think men have to worry about women reading these books and becoming players, or whatever.
Well, they're miles ahead of us to begin with anyway :)
