"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.

What are your opinion? Some think it looks gross (mostly broads) while some think otherwise. I think it looks masculine, manly and sophisticated if it it trimmed right and not a caveman beard.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I don't have a beard. I have a chin patch and a soul patch deal. I love it...I think I developed an emotional attachment to it. I was talking to a marine recruiter one time and basically at the end I told him I wouldn't join because I refused to shave. lol! He couldn't believe I would turn it down for something so petty but hey, this is ValleyDjing were talking about here!

I love beards and 'staches. I had a pretty decent one going on like a week ago. I swear after I shaved that bad boy off, I dropped like 1 point on the looks scale. All the way down to a 9!

God I miss it... so very much. :(
 

"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.

i think it depends on the person who wears it. does their personality fit it? does their face fit it?
that kind of thing.
