"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.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Didn't click the link, but the sounds like the owner is using their store to make a political point. That CAN'T be a business decision, it's just too stupid. (unless the owner is a woman...)

Yeah, this one is easy. Just stay out, the natural order of things will take care of that idiot. Or, if you have time on your hands, just sue the sh*t out of them for discrimination.

However, a devil's advocate might ask: Do you view this as similar or different in its justifiability or lack thereof to a "Ladies' Night" in a bar? Both are the very same act of sex-discriminatory pricing.

The motivations are very different, obviously. This is a place called Handsome Her, and according to the article is a place "for women, by women". Their sign makes the point that women have priority seating. They're obviously not courting male customers, although I'm sure they get a certain New Age sensitive type of "man" in there.

With Ladies Night, obviously the idea is that if you can draw in more women, you'll draw in more men, and you have more profit.
