"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.

Noticed the rise of dudes being raised by single moms each year? Man we are witnessing the decline of society. When you got guys being raised by single moms, that could lead to future dead beat dad behavior and bad mate selection as Ive witnessed with a lot of my buddies out here in South Texas. Even then if they got a two parent home these days, it’s usually the mom who is dominant and calling the shots and dominates the father and the son sees this type of behavior, gets heavily influenced by it and becomes a pvssy worshipping validation seeker who suffers a likely divorce and mid life crisis down the line. It’s these types of cycles that perpetuates in society which I’ve noticed and keeps getting worse. We need real men in the sense that they are good natured, not women validating pvssy worshippers, have balance in his life, have a good sense of spirituality and self validation, promotes brotherhood and camaraderie amongst Men, have goals he’s passionate about and give back to his community, but most of all possess the skill to screen out a quality woman for a relationship or marriage. We need more Men like this, I know I have my weaknesses and far from the qualities Ive described above, how can we foster these types cultural sanctuaries for dudes to learn and grow?

"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.

Abolish most forms of welfare, in favor of shuttling folks into regular work + Increase access to vocational training. Fewer people in poverty and rising into the middle class-all points beyond = A drastic reduction in this phenomena

We'll never "get rid" of it completely
