"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.

In my country, selling sexual services is legal - but buying them is not. The reasoning for this is twofold. First, sex workers are victims who don't choose to do it. Second, even if the first point wasn't true, men buying access to female bodies is an oppression they perform as an expression of the patriarchy.

But when I look online now I see women everywhere selling their sexuality for money. Venmo, premium snaps, onlyfans, sugar daddies - it seems to me that many women can't wait to be able to make money by selling their sexuality. How do you guys think this will affect the feminist narrative? will they simply pretend that these women are victims and men are evil oppressors? or will they eventually move against these practices? How long can it keep going before they are forced to confront reality?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

They don't mind women taking resources from men as long as they have control over it.

But they are opposed to state-sanctioned prostitution which exists in other countries in Europe, so this can't be true. I guess unless they think the female prostitutes there don't control it, but then why would they think the cashappers and sugar daddies do.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

The feminist narrative:

* women should be allowed to engage in prostitution and other acts of selling sexuality if they choose to do so because it's a form of female empowerment.

* HOWEVER, men who buy these services are evil agents of the male patriarchy and exploiting these women

* BUT, if men don't buy these services they are also evil agents of the male patriarchy because they are denying women a chance to earn

* ALSO, keep in mind that even if a woman chooses to engage in selling sex for money, she didn't really choose to do so, but was rather forced into it by the evil patriarchy....

* AND, to outlaw prostitution is an act of oppression because it is dictating what a woman can or cannot do with her body...... which is also a cog in the evil male patriarchy apparatus.....

lol, doesn't the female imperative seem like a tired little selfish child made up the rules?
