"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.

I know a few girls who would never use such words with me when we are together but on the phone and SMS they always add these sweet words "Oh, baby, whats wrong?" "Hey sweety!"

Is that just being friendly or you think it may mean something more?

that's tough. with that it's hard to tell, but most girls use that to just be friendly, or r just playing. unless u guys talk "like that" to each other, than it's nothing more than playful banter. if u r chatting her up, than it means sumthin.

Next time you hear that from a female friend of yours, simply say: "hey, you turn me on with those words..."

Like someone else here said, "If you're not f***ing her, then you're her girlfriend"

Want to know where you stand with these chicks? Make a move on them.
 

"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.

Would any girl who has respect for a guy say anything of the sort?

Hint: If they like and respect you as a guy, they will treat you like a guy and want to make you feel like a guy. That doesn't include calling you a 'sweetie' or a 'baby'.

If you act like a sweetie, baby, their friend.. etc etc.. they will treat you as such and think you're a cute little puppy they can pet and use to make them feel... what's the word?

Remind them you're a guy and start acting like one, and they may just start treating you like one.

Interesting. I didn't think about it that way. My girlfriend calls me: sweetheart, baby, cutie (most of the time). She also says 'I like you' quite a few times too. It's nice to hear. What is a healthy way of changing that or is it okay to accept?

Hm I don't find it nice to hear the words 'sweetheart' 'baby' 'cutie' .. to me it comes accross like they're focussing on your weakness and patronizing you.

Personally I don't like it.. I know in most instances it's used effectionately...... in a sort of 'thats what I like about you' .. but the way it seems to be.... is that she's saying she likes the weakness in you or something...and NOT recognizing you are a MAN.

'Awww baby' - ever heard that line? That annoys the hell out of me everytime I hear a chick say it to any guy................

I'm just rabbling here really, I'm finding it hard to pin down what I mean.

It's like they're dismissing you as a man... prefering to find 'cute' things about you.. I don't like it at all.

Ermm example: If you're angry and they say 'aww baby its ok' - no it's NOT ok, I'm ****ing angry and that's my RIGHT.. don't patronize me or think I'm being cute - I'm being ****ing angry at whatever it is I'm angry about.

I really can't be bothered to think much today..... sorry it's all a bit........I can't think of the word. ;)

MJ is dead on here. To the original poster, usually when you hear that its what i think of as her being "playfully condesending". Like MJ, I'd put a quick end to that bulls***. That "misunderstanding" would be cleared up pretty damn quickly. I'd either call her out on it, or retort with something even more condesending than her "playful banter" was.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
