"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.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Considering you only have 16 posts, maybe you should question whether you NEED more than 10 posts in a 24-hour period.49au said:

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Or maybe you've all been duped into that particular groupthink and the truth is that sosuave exists as a business, and most of the money it makes is from selling the email address that you use to register. When the same small group of people have long conversations back and forth, it sucks up bandwidth without making the money to pay for it.runner83 said:

I don't care what sosuave needs to do to pay the bills, that's entirely up to them, and I am grateful that this site exists. What I'm against, as I said on here three years ago: http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?t=144511
is telling people that they are losers for being on the Internet too much. It's just not true. Plus, groupthink is always best viewed with suspicion.
