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.
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.
Yes its how they THINK they wish to be treated.I don't disagree. I don't believe I was arguing that men and women think the same way. I don't think all women consider this as advantageous, although it's for different reasons than men.
Let me correct that, how they THINK they wish to be treated by men. What they think they want is often different from what they need, from what they'd actually appreciate. So yeah, boys need a male role model, preferably both parents to learn from how a man interacts with a woman.
Sothe gilette commercial is just the tip of the iceberg huh?As someone in the marketing world, I can tell you it’s mostly been overtaken by women. I guarantee that 75%+ of the Gillette team is female.
Absolutely. The social veneer makes it seem mild. That stuff is everywhere.Sothe gilette commercial is just the tip of the iceberg huh?
Its going to be a straight up Sweden... Marketing penetrates deeply and if females can hijack a male marketing commercial they can do the rest. Sweden. You do know they are taking down alphas?Absolutely. The social veneer makes it seem mild. That stuff is everywhere.
It’s like being occupied by th Nazi’s in France after loosing the country in the war.
Some men are complete collaborators. Others are oblivious. The few...are the resistance.
America won the war for independence with 3% of the population fighting the British.
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.
Sure. It’s bigger than one would think. It’s global.Its going to be a straight up Sweden... Marketing penetrates deeply and if females can hijack a male marketing commercial they can do the rest. Sweden. You do know they are taking down alphas?
An ad that inspires men to be winners instead of whiners.This is the gillette ad I saw when I was a kid that made me reach puberty on the spot...can you notice any difference?
The Sweden I've come to know is a breeding ground for effeminated men.Its going to be a straight up Sweden... Marketing penetrates deeply and if females can hijack a male marketing commercial they can do the rest. Sweden. You do know they are taking down alphas?
I wish I could use this, unfortunately you can't carry this past many airports.Do the right thing.![]()
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.
That’s revolting. Well that country is down the drain.The Sweden I've come to know is a breeding ground for effeminated men.
It's become so embedded within their society that it's now considered fashionable to act feminine.
Disgusting.
I do the same sometimes. If I check a second bag it comes with me as it’s under the plane. They always inspect it because they leave that notice in your bag that it was searched.I wish I could use this, unfortunately you can't carry this past many airports.
In some places you can't even bring along a can of shaving cream etc.
I usually land in some foreign country and buy toiletries packs at the duty free or just use the generic shiet at the hotel.
If you guys travel there and have swedish friends, you'll understand why a huge number of the male population is overseas, working and living in another country not wanting to return anytime soon.That’s revolting. Well that country is down the drain.
Couple of years ago in 2015 I was messaging this professional cyclist from Sweden. Saw her profile on Tinder. Some big bicycle championship was happening nearby. Anyway, she didn't care much for Sweden after travelling to many places. Just found that interesting.If you guys travel there and have swedish friends, you'll understand why a huge number of the male population is overseas, working and living in another country not wanting to return anytime soon.
Makes sense. It’s a ruined country and the men are patty-cake dudes now.Couple of years ago in 2015 I was messaging this professional cyclist from Sweden. Saw her profile on Tinder. Some big bicycle championship was happening nearby. Anyway, she didn't care much for Sweden after travelling to many places. Just found that interesting.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
This is the problem with women getting most of the college degrees. A lot of red pill guys say that men should withdraw from society, not try to educate themselves or advance because they don't want to pay taxes or contribute to a culture that is feminized. This is absolute nonsense, and as long as men keep the idea that they should retreat to a basement and play video games instead of working to advance themselves, things are just going to get worse. Do it for yourself at least, if not for society.As someone in the marketing world, I can tell you it’s mostly been overtaken by women. I guarantee that 75%+ of the Gillette team is female.
