"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.

Do you think Jeff Bezos going into space on his own rocket is an Alpha move?

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

No, it is merely a business decision and good marketing for his companies which is highly likely why he does it.

Plus of course on personal level its a cool thing to travel to space. I'd love to travel there too because it's awesome.
But it has nothing to do with alpha and it doesn't make you into one.
 

"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.

Well said in another way.
Just because you have big balls doesn't mean that you aren't dragging them on the floor.

Go figure.. ;)

Like most entrepreneurs he isn’t adverse to taking an educated risk, Or, he knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that private enterprise is more successful at safe space endeavors than a government controlled agency ever was…
 

"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.

It's a joke. The entire flight is 11 minutes, entirely automated, and only in the lowest altitude of what is considered space for a few minutes. Leave it to bezos to bring you a low quality imitation product that makes him richer.

Just one more bragging right and an accessory for wanna-be alpha's to use to get women.

"Yeah, I've been to space before. It's ok, nothing that special..."

I don't know how anyone else can top that.

It's still a cool thing regardless of the settings and who is doing it and the length of the flight in my opinion.
Very few people have been to the edge of the earth atmosphere and space and seen it.

Never said that.

But now with that said: Not all astronauts is like the guy in the article you are referring to.

Some of them are real nerds these days that live on the ISS space station. So riding rocket doesn't automatically convert you to a thunder alpha. Nor buying a Ducati motorcycle and strapping on it neither makes you alpha either because alpha is a mindset.

You can be as buffed as Arnold Schwarzenegger and still have beta mindset.

Like I said in a past thread re-quoting myself:
Either you have the mindset or you don't.

It is as simple as that.

If you can learn it?
Sure I think you can; but you can never "beat" a person with a natural alpha mindset that does it naturally from his core personality since he was born.

Well, a lot of men use "aircraft game" in their Tinder profile: :rolleyes:
 

"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.
