"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.

Awesome post by the Hollywood elite.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Number 5 on that list(J. Depp)decided to "be who he wanted to be", no matter what... End result was becoming a now sixtysomething dope fiend who's brain is irreparably fried, and who damned near lost his ass, after wifing up a nut job he had a fling with on the set of a highly forgettable film

Paraphrase Chris Rock, albeit in a different context: Keeping it real is often REAL F-CK-NG dumb"

Great point but I will always think he was the crash test dummy for the me too movement

MeToo had been going on for a minute, when he and Heard's melodrama was resurrected, via that WaPo op-ed ghost written on AH's behalf. It certainly exacerbated Depp's plight, nonetheless thus could've happened at anytime. Just consider the details:

A swarthy-ish older guy, who'd spent decades advertising himself as aberrant from "the norm", accused by a then very young blonde, fair skinned All-American looking gal of beating her during their marriage

The prospects of a fella like this NOT being pilloried afterwards are more dismal than Leslie Jones being mistaken for a couth, classy lady any time soon
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
