"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.

Can winning the lottery make an old coot attractive as a husband to a young bride?

"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.

We all get into relationships that are familiar to us. Be conscious of this fact and you can use it to your advantage. Otherwise, you are kind of a slave to it.

In this case, I suspect the fact that there were similar facial characteristics is part of what brought the two together, not so much money. They both reminded each other of their parents in the looks department. So many women go for this.

Another factor bringing these 2 together, was they both grew up in dysfunctional households. It's evident in their actions described in the article They both knew how to do that dysfunctional dance and play well together. If can ever consciousnessly use any of your childhood to give you an advantage over women, I say "go for it!". Probably low hanging fruit, but who cares.

Not much alpha here or even money/earnings. Just 2 people doing a familiar dance together.

This is not a good question. Plenty of younger women will use an older man for his money. Is this what you want? Remember once married she doesn't have to phvck you.

Attractive in that he has the means to invest in her material lust.

It feels good to be back! I haven't seen these boards since I went MIA in 2005ish.

Yeah... She will "be with" you but probably screwing a guy who is unemployed or underemployed and not very motivated. While you bust your ass and spend money on her. She might even loan her friends some of your money, some of those friends are male...
 

"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.
