"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.

Can someone explain this to me?

OP, You are operating under a fallacy that seems to be a product of OLD and this insta generation

so you think 5’6” scrawny, baldy Strauss was dating.. down?
Like, he could’ve done better for himself ….?
Women are supposed to bring more beauty to the table
{No I wouldn't look twice at her, at least not based on those pics alone, but she's probably sexier irl which is what counts}
Men bring leadership to the table.

This whole concept of looksmaxxing is ghey, that men have to be as pretty as the woman they're dating
 

"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.

Glad I'm not the only one that noticed. For certain reasons, many famous people are like that worldwide.





The woman looks masculine to me. I'm just saying one word. Inversion.

By the way, completely unrelated, may I ask what that devil-looking profile picture you currently use means? Just curious.
The chin on that chick is kinda suspicious. Long and square.

yeah she has a bit of a chin.
Ime chicks with a solid chin like that = high sex drive. That’s just a small sample size correlation tho, ime .

Profile pic =‘ El Diablo ‘the devil,
Yknow, the horny devil..
or sexually driven ,cheeky male .. like me :)

afaik she dumped Strauss for millionaire pop star Robbie Williams , I’m sure he had his choice of hot women, and that she’s pretty hot IRL.

There were rumours about him tho .. so not concrete proof that one. Lol

But seriously… Robbie Williams? cmon.

well, this is what we are raised to believe.
But, when we look around IRL it’s not really what we see. Especially in the younger bracket. Hot women tend to pair with Hot men ( handsome and tall) as a general rule.

whats a womans romantic ideal ?

“tall dark and handsome “!

just read back up through the thread for the explanation of why Strauss was with this chick. It was a combination of many factors. His Hollywood connections / Music scene connections mainly, his ‘ social circle game’ not his ‘leadership’ per se.


women bring their beauty to the table with leaders sure , but moreso with leaders who also happen to have lots of money.
thats a trade situation. Beauty for Money/Status.

Basic looksmaxxing is a very good idea, but it’s limited in application to gym and fashion and grooming imo.( Including Hair transplant )

There is no real effective application to face and height .
LM Doesn’t move the needle there afaics.

Some say she used him for his connections in the music biz/ Showbiz ..him being a rock writer etc.
he hadn’t made real money from grifting PUA at that point when he met her afaik, and wasn’t yet famous at that point either
He was a writer for Rolling Stone, wasn't he? That probably brought some status, especially in those days, when being a rock or pop star was a much bigger deal than it is now. At the very least, it was an exotic job where you got to rub elbows with famous people.

Maybe he happens to be her type and everyone's attracted to different things.
yeah there is a bit of that too.
he’s a music journalist that knows musicians , she’s in a band etc probably why it lasted 2 years.
Like @zekko said above tho. The main factor is he’s also got that status and connections. He had high status is my takeaway. Not just the average Joe music fan/journo. His high status compensated for his Looks.
So she was trading her looks for his status.


That’s famous guitarist Dave Navarro and playboy bunny Carmen Electra below.
