"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 travel to Europe?

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Thats a trick question. If you don't act like a regular tourist, and follow the cultural rules you'll be fine. However if you're loud and obnoxious and wear shorts when going to cultural events (i.e. churches, museums, visiting the pope) Or refuse to even try to speak the native language (even if its just to ask if they speak english) then you'll look like a total tool.

Best way to think of it this way, if you act properly it would be like a DJ in a club full of HB10's. If you are loud, rude and obnoxious, you're nothing more than a AFC in a club full of HB10's.

I've been over there 4 times in the last 6 months. To England twice and to Great Britain twice. I mean.... it's pretty much the same dude. I went to France as well, but I know French so it wasn't that big of a difference.

Anywhere you'd want to go in europe, you'll be "welcomed". Just don't look like a tourist jackass. No cameras hanging off your neck, no fanny packs, no overtly "Hay guyz i'm american!" items/clothing on you, be friendly, and people will be friendly to you. I've been to five european countries (six if you count Crete which is a totally different experience from Athens), and except for one asshat desk guy at a hotel in Rome, I didn't have any bad encounters.

btw I've been to Paris, Florence, Rome, Athens, Crete, Amsterdam and Edinburgh.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

In Germany and France, me and my friends were pretty much your typical retarded Americans. But literally, anytime we went out to bars, we had the whole bar become our entourage...they LOVED us, probably because we were so dim witted and foreign (we went to not major cities where English isnt so common).
