"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.

Ask yourself this... Do you think you'll regret not trying it in your last moments alive? Smoke a blunt, dude. I highly recommend it. See what I did there?!
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Along those lines, now is a good time to talk about honey traps.

It just happened recently to Bernie Goetz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernhard_Goetz)

An attractive, unaccompanied woman will approach you, asking you if you can help her get high. Then she will want you to give or sell her a tiny amount of whatever drugs you share with her. In Bernie's case, the woman insisted upon paying him, but in the eyes of the law it does not matter. A gift of drugs is the same as dealing drugs. The same woman might come back multiple times to do the same thing. Then you can become a career offender and major drug trafficker in the eyes of the law, before you ever learn that the woman is what the police call a "confidential informant." She probably got busted for coke or heroin, and the cops told her if she brings them enough arrests then she will avoid jail.
Damn I could have fallen for this once. Met a 21 year old chic off match 5 years ago, and she convinced me to sell her weed. Thankfully she wasn't a NARC.

I don't get how we allow cops to set people up like this. One thing is going after drug dealers that support themselves this way. Another is to ask a person that does not sell, to sell you a large amount and tempt them to do something wrong. Cops should be forced to only bust dealers that approach them, not the other way around.

I knew this girl that didn't even really smoke, a friend of a friend wanted a large amount of something and she sold it to them and got busted. Ruined her life and for what? She was a college girl not a drug dealer. This did not make society better, on the contrary actually. There is the argument that it's technically illegal, but there's plenty laws that just don't get enforced also and on purpose. It's just a nasty malicious thing to do to a person.

Whatever band is currently drawing a big druggie crowd - it was the Grateful Dead for decades, then Phish, then Widespread Panic, now it's probably ICP - you can always expect to find some Feds. They like to focus on acid/mushrooms more than weed, because the punishments are worse. Concert organizers will put together narc-on-the-narcs teams whose job it is to pick out the undercover police and throw them out of the venue. They can ask anyone to leave, but they can't prohibit cops as a policy. One tip I remember was that they said all the undercovers seemed to have fanny packs on - I guess to carry all their cop stuff.

What they were doing at a lot of the busts was using a honey trap female who was scantily clad, without a man, and pretending to be very drunk. She would ask you to point her toward someone who would sell her acid. All it takes is pointing a finger at someone and that makes you an accessory to the sale, which is the same punishment as selling, which is a 5-year Fed mandatory minimum, even for a first time offender, and even if no illegal drug transaction actually took place.

My neighbors been are in their late 80s....married for 65 years. One weekend late at night they were laughing...giggling like little kids. Next day wife tells me...did you hear us laugh last night....Bob and I we were smoking our first joint and we could not control ourselves. Lord....these people were in their 80s!!!!!....and they were conservative Mormons too!!!!!
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
