"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.
Been to jail/know someone in jail?

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Lets see, what can I do to get me 10 years in the slammer.
Any suggestions?
It has to be something cool as I don't want anyone thinking of me, anything less than a DJ.

The added bonus is that your stay in a mental institution is not dictated by the law. It's decided by your caretakers and they can keep you there for the rest of your life.

Be careful, you'll make Myldfire all hot and bothered and want to marry you.
Not usually...but my fiance' was like a needle in a haystack. And yes, he was an amazing man. When a priest who has been invited to play the piano all over the world for leaders of nations (including the Vatican) drives 3 hours in a BLIZZARD to deliver a prisoner's eulogy AND breaks down and cries while doing so, yeah, it's a pretty damn good sign he was an amazing and wonderful person. Anyone who looks only at 15 minutes of a person's life and deeds and overlooks everything else is blind and foolish.
Furthermore, you don't even know why he was in prison. In this state, if you are present during the commission of a felony, you get charged equally...as if you committed the crime...even if you didn't. This is what happened with my fiance'. He was with some guy who committed an assault. The victim even testified (I saw his statements and the court transcripts) that my fiance' never laid a hand on him. He took a plea agreement and pled no contest because he felt guilty for not stopping the assault, even though he was too drunk to do anything. The judge threw out the plea bargain but wouldn't allow him to change his plea. My fiance' actually won a case against the state over that and was given a settlement for his rights being violated.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Ha ha ha... nah, I don't usually ignore people. I think its actually pretty funny that she wants to rip me a new *******
As if.
Wyldfire, I weep for your future. Lose the attitude... it really doesn't make you look any smarter.

No offense, but that quote has been around for years.
"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.
