"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 hate my voice. I taped a phone call of me talking to this chick, and I thought that I sounded like a dumbass. How many of you have a WebCam? Do you think it's beneficial to your improvement in conversing with people or chicks in general?

I hope I get better at sounding smarter. I'm humbled by hearing and watching myself speak. It ain't too pretty. I think I come across as an ass, and I'd better change that cause I wouldn't even want to be around me after listening and watching me speak.

Before long I also hope to be makin pornos with this thing. It has tracking so it moves as you move about.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I am the same way. I can't even listen to myself without shuddering at the horror. I hate my voice. :(

Sadly, I know exactly what my voice sounds like .... it sounds like my dad. Exactly. When I'm on the phone, nobody can tell if it's me or my dad so I can take his business calls, and once he talked to a chick for like 20 minutes. He also talked to my friends on the phone about this weekend where I got drunk and and and.... so be glad, at least your voice is original.

With me, sometimes I sound great, sexy even, and sometimes I sound terrible....nerdy and AFCish. I think it depends on my mood mainly. Unfortunately, I'm always in the latter mood. But yeah check your mood before conversations too.

Well, for the first time, I filmed myself masturbate, and really and truly, I felt proud of myself watching the video. If you want to see why you should not feel ashamed, men, of masturbating then film yourself. Basically, your face turns really red at orgasm, and your eyes get squinty like a mole...think Chuck Norris. I'm proud of being a male. That way, I can orgasm and then close up shop and go on to other things. I don't have to lie there for an hour after doing nothing like a woman would.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I remember when I first bought a webcam I recorded myself jerking off too. I felt like a porn star.

Damm you guys' got me intrigued now. I've actually recorded myself having sex but after your post and Poonani's who's I repped, I feel like recording myself spanking the monkey.

I'm so easily swayed to do unconventional things.
