"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.

This article rants about the cover story for Time magazine (unfortunately it seems to be behind a paywall) in that the story has interviews from virtually only women, and that somehow men are equally to blame. :rolleyes:

My opinion: Women are the complete masters of reproduction, as they control the gate - a gate that virtually any woman can easily find a suitable man to enter. While there are more and more men who don't want to have kids to lessen the chance of becoming a destitute divorced dad, or a cuckold - there are still plenty of men who are willing to give it a chance, if that is the price to secure a nice steady supply of intimacy (at least while married.)
 

"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.

Women often use whining, complaining and playing victim as tools to hide their own laziness.

Becoming a mother is as easy as lying on your back and opening your legs. In fact.. the act of sex itself is MORE labor intensive for a man than a woman. In addition.. women place a high value on their willingness to do something that requires almost NO effort.. and with drugs and technology today.. almost no risk. :crackup:

Just proves that sex is not what most women are after in their dealings with men.

This is why white knights are the dumbest men on the planet.

so less guys are willing to preg a girl? marvelous finally the guys are learning.

but I agree with playher, and sex for woman is easy jsut open her legs and wait to happen, and woman using sex to get what they want is nothing new.

pretty much is woman do sex to get things and mans do things to get sex
