"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.

3 weeks is awesome, last time I did that was last year. Im struggling to not drink during the week at this point after slowly letting it become a daily habit. Monday and Tuesday is fine, but the Wednesday hot chicken wings and beer was my favourite excuse to cut the week in two.

Its sneaky how easily it becomes part of your life though, gets to the point where you weigh everything by how much you can drink. Anyway this no drinking during the week is a good start. I know the feeling of " Weekends became just another 2 days ", life seems much more linear when sober, Ive already resigned myself to the fact I will have to quit at some point, I enjoy it too much to be moderate.
 

"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.

I'm currently doing a cleanse myself. I am taking milk thistle extract, liver support tablets and turmeric for the liver and two different digestive enzymes for gut health. It's clearing me out, especially in the mornings. The research is constantly expanding on the perks of having a healthy gut biome, whether it's from taking probiotics or enzymes. Look into it sometime.
Make sure you take black pepper with your turmeric. It increases bioavailability something like a 1000 times or more

Also if you want to clean your liver try eating liver. Sounds crazy perhaps but it’s actually quite logical

I shot 2 Tbsp of apple cider vinegar every morning with tumeric, black pepper, ground ginger, organic cinnamon, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper. I have no idea if its even working but no negative sides, I wait 20 mins then have a green tea then later I'll start on my coffee.

It's a good routine I'm enjoying.

ACV is meant to be diluted in water unless you want to cause esophageal/stomach issues and rot your teeth out from the acid over time.

I’ve been doing it for months and no issues, even shorting acv before bed, I chase with some water.
 

"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.

I don't usually take dental advice from dentists that promote fluoride, I thought rinsing with water after was enough, but I'll dilute from now on. I've always loved the taste of vinegar.
Fluoride is good when applied topically to teeth, not good and wholly ineffective when ingested which makes one wonder why they keep it in the water supply.

The biggest issue with no alcohol streaks is early stage dates. It's quite difficult to have a 1st or 2nd date without alcohol.

It's entirely possible to arrange dates without alcohol (tech-assisted or daygame). Doing the dates without alcohol is more difficult to make a reality.
I am meeting alot of women now that don't drink but i know its not an easy question to sort women out for.

I find watching March madness games pairs well with a beer.

When i was a PUA, i got a bad case of heartburn from going out nightly and having beer and a bunch of coffee during the day so i quit for several months. I felt better and even did better at game.

You can think quicker without alcohol and still go out. Its easier to talk and you save time waiting in line to buy drinks. Its a win win.

My wife doesnt drink so that helps too.

Alcohol can be described as something as harmless as a social lubricant, or as heavy as an escape from the reality in which you live.

Full disclosure, I use alcohol, regularly.

But have also experienced pure bliss naturally that gives me social lubrication powers that can be passed telepathically.

Still rely on alcohol though, as it is easier.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
