"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.

Vice smh @ your location and post. Like something I just read here, an alpha male is a beta male who learned to become an alpha male you did not know how to bag dimes at age 8. You merely sound as if you just read every post in this forum. Your hubris is astounding and if i saw you IRL I'd take out two pairs of adult sock 'em boppers and challenge you to a duel.
 

"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.

I would argue that being a DJ is 100% skill and attitude. Nothing about looks, income, living situation, age, or anything like that.

I pulled a couple of women back in 2002 when I was living in my car.

Now, does that mean that looks, income, etc., don't matter? Of course not, they matter a lot. However, I don't think they matter with regard to "being a DJ."

Think of it as analogous to being "tough" or being "funny." I'm not saying that being a DJ is the same as being tough or funny, I'm just saying that they're all essentially 100% mental with some skills thrown in. Does being tough or funny have anything to do with your income, age, looks, or anything like that? No, they really don't. They have to do with your attitude, your beliefs, your skills.. same with DJ.

Granted, a DJ who is super hot and rich will be more successful than one who is broke and living in a basement, but they're still both DJs.
