"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.

Mainly for advice on women, relationships...etc?

I know most are bull**** or written by a women about women. We all know how that goes. There's gotta be some good ones out there that give legit advice about women?

Also if anyone has any hobbies or magazines in general they reccomend feel free to post those also!

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I don't think there are any magazines out there about advice on women/relationships.

I like National Geographic, The Economist, Popular Mechanics (even though it's mostly ****, the ads are relevant to my interests, I don't buy the magazine because the content is ****)

Do you really think they would allow a magazine that explain the rats how to end the rat race?
This whole society is based on a big lie, do you think they would unveil part of it?

At the most some that would tell them that they do right by keep running and keep going.

I actually kinda agree with you. American society is a scam. I will say that the younger generation is a bit more astute than the "Greatest Generation". The "Greatest Generation" killed the real America. You boys will be paying for their lies. And please tell me what the "Greatest Generation" did that helped you guys? WWII? Please, read up on your history. Deals could have been made that would have saved millions of lives.

If you want to make money and be living at a higher level than most I will give you the GREATEST ADVICE ever - Be a contrarian. Just go against what the "mainstream voices" tell you. Watch your American news stations (FOX, CNN, MSNBC) and make bets that totally disagree with them. Bingo. Beats any penny stock scam you read on here.

However, none of you will do it. Being the uncool kid in school is worth than poverty in America. America is a country of followers who all think they are unique. Wrong. BE DIFFERENT. BE UNCOOL.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I used to subscribe to Esquire....really good mag and great subscription rate. I stopped subscribing because issues wouldn't make it to my mailbox (I'm sure they provided interesting reading for some postal service a-hole taking a dump).
