"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.

After coming back here and reading some of the posts it seems to me that there is still a bid of misunderstanding about this subject. Possibly from the newer members.

This has been said many times before. Listen, girls don't like jerks because they like being treated bad. They simply like them because they project an air of confidence and masculinity, whilst the good guy is oftentimes come across as weak and femenine. And there's nothing that turns women off faster.

You know who the biggest winners are? The nice guys who have shed their previous skin and have learned to be strong and confident. Nice + strong & confident = charming beyond beliefe.

It amazes me how often this point is neglected. If you're confident enough you can walk up to a hottie and start reading her the day's stock prices and she will feel attracted to you. Of course her conscious mind will think you're a mental case and she'll never go out with you but subconsciously she will feel that attraction. The trick is to go to her with a simple hello. Then if the conversation picks up and turns out she's intersted in investing, you can start reading those stock prices to her after all.

PS: Don't buy starbucks. Hasn't been raining enough in Latin America. Coffee prices are bound to go up.
 

"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.
