"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.

Anyone read the book?

A chick once told me that every guy should read it because that's how all women want to be treated in the sack, and Christian Grey was her dream man, and blah, blah, blah (stopped listening).

Anyway, I'm looking for a new book to read and thought this could be it (research).

I understand the main principles of the book, basically how a woman wants to be dominated. I figured there might already be a thread on this, since the book came out a while ago and it was such a big hit for the ladies, but I couldn't find any.

Any thoughts.....
 

"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.

always bear in mind, a woman giving a man advice about relationships, the advice is usually worthless

I agree.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

How patient are you?

Chick lit is always poorly written diarrhea, it's just the way it is and always will be, It's not meant to be read by men. Different wiring and all that. If your not prepubescent ,full of estrogen or a moron your not going to get past the first 10 pages anyway without the urge to gouge your eyes out so it's kind of a moot point.

Read some of the great books for men instead.:up:

This is what I was thinking and why I haven't read it yet.

But I'm still thinking it might be a good thing to read, just to know what it's all about....educational purposes ;)
