"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.

Yes, bullies. I`m a junior in highschool, and I still have to deal with this crap. They aren`t the kind from middleschool though. These kids, although they are much bigger (unbenownst to them, I`d probably stand a good chance in a fight, due to experience) aren`t the kind to punch you out behind the school. They are the kind that give you a little shove here and there (you can`t retaliate, because unlike them, you have a résumé and record to think of) and steal little things, remove papers from turn-in boxes, and log you off of computers you were working on.
Complete idiots, they do these things because they have nothing better to do. I wouldn't say a steriotypical "tough guy" is an alpha-male, but these people are far below "tough guy". You'd think they were tottlers.
Advice for dealing with this kind of crap without being to :trouble: agressive:trouble: OR :woo: submissive:woo: ?
Note: these are not even aquaintances, if they were not enemies (their doing) they would be strangers
Thanks
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I notice that whenever I'm on a quest for greatness, some chumps try to get in the way.

Of course their efforts are futile and my victory is inevitable. And so is yours.

if someone shoves you or pushes you, either punch them in the nose with your knuckles or nail them in the nads with your knee. What ever you do make your response immediate and severe.

Bullies won't pick on a guy who retaliates with full force.

People won't stop unless you give them something to stop for. What is that? You decide. Going to the administration will not help. Spazzing out will not help. Generally speaking, violence is the one main deterrant. Either that or try to make a joke out of that...

BTW, save often.
 

"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.

they won't teach this in school, but a lesson learned in life, known from the dawn of time.....


violence solves everything.

if you don't think so, then you haven't been hit hard enough.

seriously, punch the m#fer like he's never been hit, and then either run fast or stand tall

damn, I really wish I could tell you not to hit him...

If you fight a bully, he will stop whether he kicks your ass or if you kick his. But try to find a less violent approach. Insult him w/ really low blows if you have to.

Whatever they did, do it back or one up them.Show them you demand respect and have some pride.AS KEN SHAMROCK ONCE SAID:I DEMAND RESPECT.IF YOU DON'T GIVE IT TO ME,I'LL TAKE IT FROM YOU.If they wanna play a little game, you play it right back.Some guys just need to find that indominatable spirit.Find yours.When they screw with you, you need to have one sentence come out of your mouth..........DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!?............follow up w/ something like."I will BREAK YOU".Or "I'M ABOUT TO TURN YOUR HEAD INTO A FREAKIN PEZ DISPENCER!"I don't know about you,but I'm a lower classman and I dont care if your on the freakin weightlifting team,wrestling team,fairy team, whatever.Screw w/ me and It's nighty night.(warning:I'm a Premier fighter.((UFC training program))I can actually back up what I say.If your going to have a big mouth,you better have a nice hook to go with it.)
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

it's tricky tho, ive been in that situation before. You don't wanna get expelled from school cuz u wanna get into a good college. It's really a tuff decision, hes almost more of a man by takin it. In my high school we got expelled the first time we got into a fight so i was terrified to fight back to bullies. I really dont know tho, if i could go back in time, i think i might have knocked the fvcking lights out of my bully. This guido italian piece of sh*t. Man i just got mad thinkin bout him. I let him walk all over me, i knew karate i coulda beat the **** outta him. Damm it prob is worht it now that i think of it, so wat id go to community college an dfeel much better about myself for the rest of my life right?

u obviously have never been bullied if u think that's possible. If ur being bullied ur most liekly a nerd and that doesnt work for nerds cuz u dont have a cool group of friends to laugh at the guy with. even if ur not a nerd its prob not possible.

A lot of guys will back down though, and if you get in trouble


"I've been bullied all my life, and the administraition continues to do nothing about it. I refused to be walked on for the rest of my life, and if standing up for myself results in being suspended, or expelled, then I will legally challenge that if I have to."

Sounds good to me. A good lawyer good even get it wiped clean. Schools hate being threatened with court ;)

Thanks for the encouraging responses guys. I know that what you are saying is true, I've seen the bully turn into the coward many times when faced with a real threat:box: , even when he could win the fight.
These, however, are the, stupid, failing, arrogant kind of kids that can afford to get in trouble while I (high-school will NOT be the highest point in my life, see my name) cannot. I'm in a new, somewhat preppy, school, and these stupid jocks (sorry for the stereotype, I play sports too, its just that they fit the stereotype perfectly) will turn around and tell on me if I do succeed in taking them down (they ARE almost twice my size, my experience aside) and doing it outside of a teachers' eye. Any ideas on how to do it either without getting in trouble or do it without violence?

P.S. I couldn't agree with you guys more, it's just that it is not so simple with the public school system and its stupid anti-self-defense policies that we all love so much

EDIT: I was writing this before the last three responses, but I'd still like more responses on the subject

Last piece of advice if all else fails.Make friends.Lot's of friends.Just tell em how you feel(the bullies).Be like "Man, come on.....stop screwing around."Just talk to them on their level.Just don't be a complete wuss.Tell 'em you don't appreciate that they're messin w/ you.If you respect them and say it w/ enough confidence they'll take you seriously and stop.Whatever you do, don't let them keep thinkings It's ok.

I got picked on and harrassed one time in highschool. I responded by slamming the kid's face into a locker. Amazingly, it never happened again.

You just gotta stand up for yourself. Bullies focus in on the weak kids who dont protect themselves. If you fight back, they wont bother you.

Start stalking them. Put bombs in their car boot, murder girls they date and send them the corpses, and hide in their shower with a chainsaw.

You best choice Ambition is go to a bigger bully (yeah go to the principle. tell your parents & get an vicious lawyer from hell to send a message to the school if they dont anything ). Dont let it escalate. Vigilante justice is nice but run the risk of escalating a conflict (dont want knives or guns to be drawn out).

They are not alphas they are IMMATURE children. And thats how you should paint them as.

A REAL MAN dont need to pick on someone smaller than himself to make himself look bigger. A REAL MAN will act mature and not like immatrue children.

Fighting is for chumps.... and rarely solves anything in high school.

I was bullied for a bit in junior high, but I just ignored it as much as I could. Generally that kind of crap stops in high school because most people are too mature.

At least, this was my experience.

As someone said, finding friends is also helpful.
