"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.

Where I come from, many of the women come with hooves, lol. I've known quite a few females who have had bariatric surgery and lost a lot of weight. Here's what I've noticed:

Some of them lose a lot of weight and actually start to look hot. I imagine these women were hot before they got fat. But other women lose a lot of weight and they're still not attractive really. Some of them just look freakish, for whatever reason. Some women are just not that attractive, whether they are slim or not.

I kind of see some parallels between this and men who lose weight or build their bodies up. Some of them will become hot, and some of them just won't be that attractive. It's just the nature of things and the way of the world.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

As a guy with an averageish face I still work out.

I have no delusions that working out makes me face look any better, but it is a form of compensation.

You can have ugly women that are obese, or ugly women that are skinny. Obviously non are preferable but I can't think of a point where the latter isn't better.

I think skinniness is a big factor of attractiveness in women but not the only one.

A woman is lost once she becomes fat. There is no going back. The stretch marks have taken hold and they never go away. She may look good with the pretty wrapping paper but I assure you all is lost when you open that "present." Oh good, more socks.
