"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.

OK, so this summer Im going to San Diego for about 6 weeks to coach football, but obviously I'm gonna sarge as well.

I saw this film, Love Actually, and this English guy just walks into a bar and orders a drink...then ends up in a 3some with these two HB10's, lol.

Obviously it isn't like this, but will my accent and the fact that I am different be an advantage with USA girls?

PS, I'm 6 foot, athletic and decent looking, imo.
 

"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.

Now I'm not a DJ or anything, but I can't see how you're accent will hurt anything, unless it's a real hard scottish one. Most girls I know go crazy over a guy with an accent, and a British accent makes anything you say sound sophisticated and cool. So I think it will actually work out in your favor, people will be curious about your accent, and you're life in a different place.

By the way, I've always been curious . . . how does an American accent sound to you Brits? I'm guessing pretty bad, but I don't know.

Heh I personally get turned on by a girl with a british accent. It ill make you unique and interesting. So USE it to your advantage. Good luck! Hit the clubs and get some play. American chicks should be easy... considering ive dated couple british girls and they were really hard to get.

hah, welcome to San Diego my friend. The land of HB8's and up!
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Question you need to answer is whether or not you think you're decent looking or do you KNOW you're decent looking.

If you believe it, they'll believe it.

When I drink a bit too much, my old Irish accent and dialect comes back (four years on the Emerald Isle), and I constantly have mega-babes telling me how hot it is, and many of the girls I've dated have asked my to talk dirty to them in some accent or another (I had years of speech therapy to try to get rid of the Irish accent, so now I can pull off most any accent you ask me to). Girls eat it up, it won't be a detriment to you at all, quite the opposite.

O-T, have fun in San Diego. That area has some of the best driving roads I've seen in America (specifically De Luz Rd between Fallbrook and Temecula). Going there in my M5, I was pushing that car as hard as she could be pushed in the middle of the night with no traffic around at all, and I averaged 49mph, it was that curvy. Fun fun roads there. Oh, and the babes are ok too. :D

Dude

USE THE ACCENT! chicks in the US go wild for guys with english accent.

You have to, absolutely have to be able to control your fram though. Think James Bond. The way he moves, speaks, the confidence, the smoothness. Emphasise on the accent, keep the eye contact and stay confident.

Look up my FR from my visit to NY and how the accent helped me out there.

Good luck and keep us posted with the FRs!

"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.

Yes you can definitley play your foreigner card. It's not the end all but it gives you a good boost. I speak from experience here because I have a slight accent when I speak english. Girls can't put their finger on where I'm from right away (it's Germany btw) which makes them curious also there's that stupid idea that us euros are somehow more sophisticated and sexy (I've been told a few times that they think my accent -or any euro accent for that matter- is sexy).

So if anything be a bit more british than you would back home. I think it can only improve your game.
