"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.

Tis the month where we go to costume parties, drink, and girls are even more open to acting slutty. What's your Halloween Don Juan stories and what's your plan for this month?

For me, there's always three to four parties going on throughout the month with plenty of girls at each. I use to tryhard on my costume choice but I leave that up to the ladies these days. I will sometimes try to do something clever, but most of the time the joke is done after 30 minutes into the party. So I am sticking to more basic fundamental costumes like cop, arabian, etc. Whatever comes to mind that week.
 

"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.

Halloween is overhyped and overrated for getting random sex.....


From the article linked above..

Halloween
Common Sense: It’s easier to approach since you have a costume, and girls will be extra slutty since they’re already dressed like a slut.
The Reality: Groups are too large and distractions from other costumers too frequent. She’s in the mood for constant attention reinforcement, not a long conversation that leads to sex.


In my life this year, one of my married friends in the suburbs is having a house party. I am invited but concerned about going. I am concerned that it will be all established couples. I don't want to be in that environment.

If it's a couple party, DO NOT GO unless you have a fetish for grabbing taken women. It's hella boring otherwise.

I've seen what you talked about at many halloween gatherings. It is an attention bonanza for them. But if you want to hear my experience, it is one of the times of the years where women compliment me on my costume. Not necessarily cause the costume is good but because the women use their costumes as their excuse to be more social and quirky. In short women approach a lot more cause the atmosphere is more loose. It's part of the costume they tell themselves. You also sometimes get to do a little roleplay cause girls love that stuff.

I can't get a straight answer from my friend about this party. He plays in a co-ed sports league in a singles dense area despite living in a far out suburb. He's claiming some people from the league will come. It's a long drive for me. I can't see why any single woman in a co-ed sports league will go to a Halloween party at a house in the suburbs 20+ miles from the core of the city.

They wouldn't unless you were certain your friend had that kind of pull.
 

"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.

I don't think he does at this point. Maybe 9-10 years ago. He's gotten way too beta.

In talking about past years, I have noticed more attention whoring at the Halloween parties I've been to rather than actual whoring. I've done a combination of going to public bars for Halloween events and some private parties.

You're not wrong, but that's just a symptom of the smartphone culture in general. There's still a bit of that openness left yet I agree I barely see guys pulling like they did back in my college days. However I suspect I could go to the bars in my old college town and I guarantee I can walk away with a blonde college chick cause the game there is too easy.
