"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.

Hey,

A friend of mine "Robert' was married several years to an Attention Wh0re.

I can tell all of you here that I do not wish the hell that he had to go through on any man out there.

Could some of you post some Attention Wh0re stories and also point out some of the tell tale signs of one.

"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.

I like that Panda. Posters should use that sign at this site for when confused posters start threads asking about why he's having a problem with an AW type.
 

"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.

Attention h0s are attention h0s cause they pay little attention to who they affect while they want all attention on their importance on this planet earth. usually most will be too ignorant and uncaring to fix themselves.

there are DJS out there that are like this too... i like to mention a few but they are active in the forum.

Thats such a vague thing to say though. Thats like saying that everyone is a criminal. Yea some people may park in handicap spaces and some people are murderers. There is a such big difference between the two that you cant lump them in together just like you cant lump all girls together and say there all AW's. There can be drastic and radical differences from one end of the spectrum to the other.
