"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.
Chicken for breakfast?

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

However, while people find this weird, I always eat full meals for breakfast.
Specifically, there are almost always leftovers from last nights dinner that I have. Today breakfast was a full serving of salmon and rice, a few days ago was chicken, and before that it was pork chops and potatos.
Maybe unusual, but it works great. I have tons of energy for the whole morning and this way I don't get hungry until lunch, where as if I just had fruit or cereal, I'd be starving by 10 am.
I don't think it will fail. Maybe its a Southern thing but chicken biscuits for breakfast are a hot seller. Ever heard of Chick Fil A? It's a chicken chain that serves them for breakfast and I've never seen one not packed in the mornings. I know handfuls of people that go every morning for one and i know of lots of colleges that have them on campus

I prefer tuna, spinach, tomato and balsalmic vinegar to start my day off right though. It's the brekfast of champions!
"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.

Peanut butter and honey on toast is usually what I eat when I need a substantial breakfast.
