"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.
A beautiful speech about humanity

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Dude that guy is so full of ****.
Love won't save us.
The cold calculus of someone like Dr. House will ease more human suffering than some feel-good bull****. No amount of giving or caring will overcome the realities of Nature. Love won't feed the world: money & trade will.
It's not a lack of 'brother love' that's made the world a ****ty place, it's a lack of people understanding the reality that Darwin, Hobbes, Rand, Hayek, and others like them who have been made villians were on the right side of history while the poets and the so-called intellectuals were on the wrong side of history.

I disagree he is full of ****. I don't see the cold-calculus of House and Chaplain's speech are mutally excusive. He seem to speak more than some kind of "hippie love" too, did he even mention love? Love don't feed hunger, but he is not talking about world hunger, he is talking about society and how we can be so cold to each other. People who are afraid to live, care for others, and live like "robots" instead of thinking for themselves. Isn't that alot of what posters on this site complain about people?
Granted his "greed" part could be taken as such, then again, corporations have made decisions for greater profits at the expense of people. Greed have hurt others. This is not to say money and trade is not key to solving problems, but to put effort to brighten other people's day could make life better for all. As for the soldiers part, he is refering to how soldiers mindlessly fight for bad causes.
Perhaps not everything is correct, but I would not say he full of it.

I'm curious as to whom exactly are you referring to when you mention "poets and the so-intellectuals"?Luthor Rex said:Dude that guy is so full of ****.

Honestly, I felt the whole video was a battle cry against legal plunder and really was less about love.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

It actually was a pretty truthful speech about how to make the world a better place.
I went in thinking it was just going to be some sappy bullsh!t but it was alright.

You have to put it in the context of the times - he took on the Hitlerian image but gave the opposite message of hate - hate makes men kill!!
This message applies today as we head into fascism and are told to hate whoever those who control the mass media tells us to!! Hate breeds death!
