"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.

"Casanova" The movie

"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.

But after just seeing the preview I'm not going to see it. Casanova goes AFC for one girl. What a shame.

in this movie they are going to protray him as trying to woo the one gal who turns him down in the first place, however after doing some reading in his memoirs online, its not exactly the truth.
as it tells, once he wooed her, they were together about 8 months in venice and then he leaves her with her mother and brother in his home and moves away, doing whatever he fancied and she is only allowed to go to church with her mother or do his errands when he writes to her in exchange for living in his home and he sends her money when he wants. other times he writes and says he has no money. meantime, he does what he wants with other women, including one he almost married in vienna but was talked out of it by a guardian angel male friend and from then on refers to marriage as silly in his writtings. he also writes to a english chick from many years . during the entire time, this francesca chick is still living in his house and writes to him and always asks him to come home, which he never does and blames it on money.
finally some friend tells him he saw francesca out at a gathering with a girlfriend and it p isses him off so he writes an angry letter to her. so she tells him she went but only one time and then tells him they were so in need of money that her and her mother sold his books from the attic and then he doesnt write to her for at least a year. then after that he writes to her like 2 years later but never returns to her.
his books meant more to him than the chick afterall.

Well this movie finally came to my town so I checked it out.

It's good light entertainment, has a few of the now classic tips we use here, for example Casanova tells the brother of the woman he's after to "be the flame not the moth." As does he become afc at the end, well considering he's probably bedded hundreds by the time he meets her I for one and forgive it. He doesn't turn into any kind of wose, so it's all good.

Bottom line: it's a an ok light movie with some fun, stupid hollywood stuff thrown in.
 

"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.
