"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.

Where can I get cheap design work done? I'm looking to commission a corporate emblem/family crest type of thing. Are there any websites where designers hangout?
 

"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.

Post an ad on craigslist.org under the jobs section. There's a specific section for art/media/deisgn. Be descriptive in exactly what you're looking for, maybe even post a link to an example of something similar that you like, then see who responds. Ask them to send you a link to their online portfolio of work and if you like what you see, then make a deal.

Word to the wise though, like anything else, and especially so in graphic design, you get what you pay for. I can't emphasize that enough. Better to pay more to a person that knows what they're doing than some jackass teen with his cracked copy of illustrator willing to do it for $50.

Hahahaha.


Let me know what type of stuff you're looking for. If it's something I know I can do, samples are always free. Who knows, maybe $80 graphic job with free sample is what you looking for. I've seen amateurs kill the pros, that's what so wonderful about art!

Thing is though, if they were better than the pros, they'd be charging pro's prices or more. Why would someone that's that good be charging less than everyone else? Think about it.
 

"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.
