"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.

There is a chance to set up a software business.

Or can you guys give start up ideas?

I thought about insurance software or some kind of finance software start up.

Perhaps there is a chance to obtain projects, clients through networking
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

So you have zero experience in this field and think it's just that easy?

This would be like saying "I've got a few friends that play basketball, should I go try out for the NBA?"

It's like, what???

I don't understand why people have the illusion that this is so "easy" that they can just get into with no experience and just hit the ground running.

Perhaps it's because AI has made everyone think they are engineers now because they can get the AI to build something that works even though most times it's incredibly broken underneath the surface.

I have looked at YouTube videos were people with zero experience built their software company, saas company, software agency. They found their developers on freelance sites.

That's were the optimism comes from.

Yes and if people realized how poorly designed these products actually are especially when it comes to security they would never use them.

But it will be their day being leaked at some point so I guess they will learn the hard way.
