"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.

Imagine you're someone who really wants to go for a walk with someone today, you're in the mood for it.
Now, in a scenario where you have 100 people you could potentially contact, but you only reach out to 10 of them because you know they're genuinely interested, chances are you’ll find at least one person, often more, to join you and make it happen.
But in a scenario where you only have 10 people to begin with, and you reach out to just 3 of them because they're the most promising, you might end up with no one available to go out with.


That’s why, when I’m sociable and have lots of "companionship" options to choose from, I act socially, I’m friendly, smiling, and approachable. Ironically, this is often when women tend to see you as just a friend, precisely because you're making so many new connections. On the other hand, in the second scenario, when you have fewer people around, you feel more alone, and your vibe is more mysterious or withdrawn, that’s often when you trigger more sexual attraction from women.
But again, anyone who lived like that knows that kind of life is lonelier and not nearly as fulfilling as the first one, where you feel freer to be yourself and to let things happen naturally.

Your vibe and energy are really more "natural"
 

"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.

You should get be with the women who lets you be yourself and likes your fulfilled connections wherever you are at in life. You do that by researching and knowing where this type of lady is likely to be found, whose positive and social and drawn to that type of personality rather than some inner drama, freak goth who gets high off that negative emotions. One of the best ways to attract her and find her is by practicing Holistic Semen Retention, doing positive and connective things to people like Charity and making a lot of Guy Friends in your community.

Eating everything uncooked and sh-tting wherever you feel like, the minute the urge to do so hits, are all also "natural". Clearly then, "natural" isn't automatically wise or beneficial
