"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.

Hey guys I just turned 19 and i'm getting sick of drinking the same old coors lights and fireball whiskey.

Any good brands (can be hard liqour, wine or beer) that you would recommend. I like in ontario canada so I have to buy from the lcbo so that might affect what I can get but give me some recomendations
 

"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 go for Blue Moon Beer these days.. Tall, cold, and with an orange in it. I've been through phases of different beers over the years; Miller Lite, Guinness, Bud Lite Lime, MGD, and now Blue Moon. I'm like you I drink one for a while and then get tired of it.. Can't help you on anything else as I only drink beer and maybe 3-4 bloody marys per year. I don't handle hard liquor well at all.

Back when I was a drinker, Canadian Mist and Black Velvet were a couple of favorites. Rocks or straight.

These things are very personal. They are also transient. What you like now will lead to different preferences later.

Much as I was a single malt Scotch Whiskey drinker for years, for the past several years, I've been liking bourbon and rye.

And this has been a margarita and tequila summer for me. Just feels right.

Try different stuff. Just stay away from chick drinks with sickening sweet or heavy liquors or umbrellas and such.

And Fireball is definitely a beginner's preference.

Tanqueray Gin. Pinnacle Gin. Foster's.
 

"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.

My ex-wife is from St Lucia. Mt Gay is made in Barbados, a neighboring island, so it was the cheap rum in St Lucia, $6 a bottle. I drank a bit of it there, enough to know it is some cheap rotgut stuff. Myers is much better, quality-wise. You won't go back.

ive still yet to try a dark rum.

mount gay rum and coke has always been a staple of mine. i also really like captain morgan spiced rum and pepsi. the Mt. gay rum really shines as a mixing rum tho

i also like bulleit.

higher end you cant beat a mcallan. most ill ever spend on is a 12. lagavulin is nice and smokey. and laphroaig....well lets just say you should try that at least once. to get an idea of what it tastes like, this is where the flavor comes from

Nice.

Myers is a good dark rum. Captain and Coke is good.

Knob Creek or Makers Mark with either ginger ale or Dr. Pepper is really good.

McCallan, Glen Livit, Glen Fiddich are good scotch. Lagauvlin I just bought. Very good.

Bullet is good too.
