"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.
Anyone read "The Game"???

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Quick summary, it is NOT an instruction manual. It is a story told from the eyes of Niel Struass, Style. It covers 'his life' from AFC to master (I don't know how much is truth or fiction) and in any case, Style is a very good author and the book is a fascinating and rivetting read. I couldn't put it down from start to finish.
Also, I'm sure there are rules against giving links or whatever, so I will just say that I didn't pay for the book or any of the other books I have read/skimmed and got bored of.

Getting laid isn't a science.. lets not make it one. I've seen guys who got in to that stuff that actually got WORSE with women and in social interacitons in general.
"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.
It wont help you get girls per se, but it is an amazing read.
Its the first book I read and the one that opened my eyes to the idea that attracting women was somthing I could learn, that I wasn't doomed to fail forever.
Cure.
