Okay, but how does my profile picture look so far at 42?? It's the real me, ya know, about 2 weeks ago.
"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.
How did you know he was the one?

- Start date
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Quuuuuuueeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnn BBeeeeeeeeeee!!!
You still haven't responded to me yet, and you're on here once an hour. WTF?
Meow always responds to me, and she's only on here like once a week.
I think I like her better than you now.

C'mon, @zekko, my man, @catsmeow2's response was pretty great, no?Don't forget "Be tall".
But look at Napoleon Bonaparte! Short guy, but do you think he didn't command respect from men and women alike? Then you're kidding yourself!
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Yet who did these two quality women date before the man they ultimately married?

"How did you know he was the one?"
I think most cases are something like these: High quality girl takes a look at a guy. She gets vaginal tingles. She gets to know the guy ands screens for red flags. She enjoys his company. She doesn´t find any deal breakers so she proceeds with sex/LTR. Also, intentionally or not, the guy somehow goes to the top of @Desdinova ´s High Score List, hence she considers him "The One" or her soulmate.

High Score Theory
Ever notice how women can just write off a guy and treat him like he was only a tiny blip on her radar? Well that's because he was. The more sexually experienced a woman becomes, the more accustomed she is to just throwing guys away. Every new guy she dates seems to earn mediocre to low interest...

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Oh, it's already happened. Many times, in fact.

OP,
I enjoy different perspectives as well, but your threads are complete cringe. Not to mention I would give it maybe a D+ as far as trolling goes - which it clearly is. Everyone here understands you just want attention or you would have sent a private DM to the two women.

I enjoy engaging in banter and debate and some serious discussion when I am drinking. So yes, maybe I do want attention. But what's so wrong with that. It's fun and it brings me joy.
"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.
Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our intellectsYet who did these two quality women date before the man they ultimately married?
