"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.

Not strictly advice on working out but rather in a better mental state and working with what you have and what you can't fix.

I have seen this on numerous occasions. The guy is insecure and the majority of female posters don’t help but instead play into the insecurities more.

Some may respond with some patriotic spiel about how females are now becoming breadwinners in society (I picked this up from somewhere) and that they 'understand' how unhappy you are that you don’t have the body that 'women' prefer, whilst offering no actual solution to the individual. This potentially leaves the guy in a really bad mental and psychological state, bamboozled by this information.
Perhaps the internet is only good for some things.
I never often believed that women cared less about looks than men. It has been said they in fact come at it from a different angle to men and that's the key for me right there. Seeing a professional was my only option to battle with low self-esteem a while back.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I don't really know what you're talking about, so I'll just address the thread title.

Can a woman help you with body image issues? Only if you're a woman. If you're seeking help, it's best to seek help from people who have had similar experiences. You're a man, so talk to other men. Simple as that. Women can't teach you how to be a better man anymore than sheep can teach you how to be a better wolf.

Female posters on here respond to men on here the same way they would in real life. That's all I have to say about that part.

So, the short answer to your question is no, not really. It's very rare to find a female interested in helping a guy in that department.

In reply to the first, only women know what they really want, right?
I hear often about how dating books written by men are just to make money.

Only women know what they really want? That's gotta be a joke.

Ask a woman what she wants and she'll say, "A nice guy who makes me laugh, buys me flowers, and cuddles with me when I'm sad."

If you actually SAW who these women date, it would be a guy who pulls her hair when he f**ks her, toys with her emotions, contacts her once every 2 weeks, and leaves after he f**ks her.

You've been around this site too damn long to believe "only women know what they really want."

Women are only 50% honest with you and 25% honest with themselves. They don't know what they want. And they damn sure can't tell you.
 

"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.

Ash Ketchum never asked Pokemon how to improve or catch them. He asked the more skilled and successful trainers how to do so!

In other words: Ask a man who's willing to help you. Asking women? We all know how that works out. And it does no good that is for you. That's my ruling.
