"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 figured that after I had written this post 3 times and lost it 3 times that the 4th time I'd keep it short. Obviously, it was a sign.

My success in life, not just with ladies but in all aspects is tied to my motivation. My motivation to live. Life doesn't start around noon. Life doesn't start once you get home from school. Life is always going on. I get to school, I'm ready to rock. All those people that only got 3 hours of sleep can bet their asses that I'm not gonna let them rest. My friends and I, we're full of life, full of energy from the moment we wake. That's what gets us where we want to be. That's right, I seduce at 8am. If I am so inclined, I'll even go for some head at that time. I'm not going to sit here and watch it all go by because I 'wasn't in the mood' or some other crap.

This hot chick was sitting down watching everyone ice skate and naturally I chatted her up. She was boring. God damn. but then, there was this okay chick skating like it was all she had. Damn what fun we had. She was full of energy and so was I and naturally, we had the time of our lives!!!

I'm appreciated because I bring light to people's eyes. No one is sulking in my presence. No is bytching or crying. We don't have time for that nonsense. I've got energy and enough of it to go round 24/7 and that's what makes me so damn great.

So keep thinking you're cool. Honestly, sit in your corner, showing your big white smile, your spiked hair and your punk bracelet. You think everything is going to get handed to you? NO! I get what I want because I quite litterally, get up AND GET IT! I don't wait for some miracle of coincidence for that chick to come pour her heart out to me.

Would I, or anyone here or anyone in this entire world be interested in hearing the story of your life? Make a ****ing difference man. And don't do it for me. Don't do it to get that chick or to get that chick back. Do it for yourself. Do it for what you owe to yourself. Improve yourself. Get worth knowing. Do you even know what it feels like to step through a room and have your very presence make people feel like this is going to be a great day?

Today, I take the next step in self improvement. I didn't know where to go really, I was pretty well rounded before. Now I correct my past mistakes. I've officially set out to change the world. I'm going to be a good kid.
 

"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.

This post really got me thinking man.

It took alot to get me to where i am, but no way am i satisfied yet. Chances are, i will never be satisfied, it's not human nature to be satisfied.

How mayn hours have you guys wasted? How much life have you wasted up till this point? How many oppurtunities have gone by?

How many hours have you slept in?

How many girls have you chickened out from talking to?

How many times did you sit in the corner of the party b/c you where shy?

Man.. This is your life. This is your story, and it's being written one second at a time.

For living this Lik, you are gauranteed happiness and success.

This, very nice post made me remember the movie called "Dead Poets Society", John Keating the Professor, he was the students inspiration and he made their lives extraordinary. I remember him saying to his students : Carpe Diem
which means Seize The Day !

Don't live in denial, don't make excuses and don't hold anything back, and do it around the clock. Good **** man. I hate realizing that I failed, that I missed something, or that my life isn't as good as it could be because I momentarily let my mind slip. And I am also sorry to hear that you lost your post three times. :p

thanks lik, you've inspired me

"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.
