"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.

today i was at a soccer competition and in the last match, things became quite rough. i mean, everyone was protestating against the referee and was insultin' the opposite team. a player of the other team bumped into me and made a foul, by grabbin' me and makin' me go to the floor. i was given the ball back by the referee and i didn't say anything to that guy. suddenly he comes to me and starts telling me i'm not playin' fair. i tell him to shut up, since he's hurtin' everyone in my team. he comes closer to me and i come closer to him, confronting each other. he tells me that he's going to kick my @ss whenever i want. i reply "yeah, whatever u say". we keep arguin' for a little, then we both go away from the field. then, a friend of mine who knows that guy to be a trouble-maker, tells me to go away with him, not to be @ss-kicked by him. i tell him that everything's alright and if he wants problems i'm there for him. then that guy calls me into a room and i go there and i tell him that if he wants to fight, i'm ready, although i know he's going to kick my @ss (i'm 130lbs, 5'9, while he's 6'4, 190lbs, maybe more, even though he's 2 years older than me).

then we clarify and everyone goes by his own way, but he's still angry.

i hardly doubt i'm going to have problems with that guy again, but i wanted to know if i behaved the right way... i don't know, it just seems to me that i've been quite a coward since i didn't punch him... tell me what u think
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

He wanted to start **** then he should've thrown a punch.

He's a ***** who needs someone to hit him to get him going.


That said, you should have knocked him on his ass.

Size has little to do with it unless you start grappling.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

what does grappling mean? (sorry, but i'm not english talker). anyway size has a lot to do, when u never played martial arts or boxe... i don't see anyway i could bring to the floor someone who weights 50lbs (25 kgs) more than me... think about it, i could do whatever i want, but how could i make him go to the floor? plus, the top of my head barely reaches the base of his neck, so it's hard to punch him too... no way man

Grappling: grabbing or wrestling with your opponent. The opposite of striking (kicking and punching).

I have seen some damn small guys take on huge mammoths of men and win. With no martial art experience.

Of course if you're afraid of losing then you'll never win.

i don't give a sh1t about winning or losing, i'm just realistic... i realize that he can bring me to the floor with just one hand... not that it bothers me, but it's so
