"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.

Do you guys like alcohol? I like to have a few beers before I date a woman and I like to feel loose. Is alcohol okay in moderation?
 

"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.

I avoid beer on dates or when going out to meet women, because hops is a powerful phytoestrogen and will tank your testosterone -- even in the short term.

On dates, I usually stick with vodka-seltzers or red wine, if the venue calls for it.

Sure, alcohol is okay in moderation on dates -- it's part of the fun of meeting someone new. I've made the mistake, many times, of "loosening up" before a date with some booze to numb the nerves, and getting too drunk. Nothing dries a woman's vagina up faster than being on a date with a man who is throwing them back.

"Does he need to be drunk to talk to women?"

"Does he need to be drunk to find me attractive?"

"Is he scared of women and that's why he's getting drunk?"

"Is he an alcoholic?"

"Ew, he's drunk."

I've fvcked up a lot of otherwise good dates with hot women simply by getting too drunk. You know your limits. If I find my mouth is starting to get rubbery when I talk, I've wayyy overdone it.

Yeah, I go out for beer. That's the purpose of being in a bar.
Occasionally they will have run out and then I drink ****tails.
Doesn't matter how drunk I get since I don't approach women
when I go out anyway. I'm there for the drinking.

To quote some C&W artist whose name escapes me at the moment:
I like beer; it makes me happy.
That said, the one thing the maturing man learns is that beer is the enemy of good sexual performance.

Beer is ok in small amounts. The phytoestrogenic elementic is bad. Phytoestrogens is why I've avoided the majority of products with soy or elements of soy (soy leitchin, soybean oil, etc). 1 beer with a meal likely won't impact sexual performance if the meal itself is well balanced nutritionally.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Beer is my Kryptonite. Pilsener... I tell you.

But I don't drink beer on dates. Rather a glass of wine or a sour bourbon. But that's the absolute exception. Only if she wants to drink something otherwise I stay sober.

Beer makes me tired. Two beers after work and I can go to bed.

Not for me. Frigging ice cream is the only vice I'm sort of "addicted" too and my kryptonite if you will . But a very controllable vice tho.
I don't eat sweats/candy and other unhealthy things and eat healthy/train at the gym etc.
But proper made ice cream is just too damn tasty. :p
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I do not drink beer. The worst possible drink a man can indulge in.
Why is this? Yesterday I bought 8 cans and I also bought a very nice bottle of gin.

I like drinking.
That being said, beer is a no-no for me before or on a date. If fks up your testosterone and makes you pee a lot eventually.
A gin and tonic or wine works in my favour on a date. And a little wine or 40% liquour before the date, if I feel too sober.

But if I'm not on a first/second date, I can have a few beers, no problem.

Michelob Ultra is the only beer I can drink anymore. One 24oz can is all I’ll allow. I wish the commercials weren’t so lame and marketed to fitness culture. It’s pretty good.

I used to drink heavily. Anything and everything. My body just can’t process booze like it used to.

I usually get some sort of “craft” _cocktail on dates.

Welp, these two beer commercials will never get old and are both hilarious and genius:
(See them in the right sequence with Heinken first)

First Heineken's Walk-in: :up: :cool:

and then second Bavarian's prank/spoof on Heineken's commercial (Which is priceless!) Ha ha lmfao :devil::rofl::rofl::whistle:

Now enjoy and profit!

Here that is again.
If that's true, then given how much I consume it's a wonder I don't have t1ts and a period
every few weeks...

I’m going to a German beer garden tonight to drink cold German Munich lager from a 2-pint tankard and eat warm buttered pretzels.

This place is packed with hot girls, but I’m going there to drink beer with my buddies. There’s no likely scenario where I will be charming and horny after 4+ pints of beer. College was long ago.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
