"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.

I thought of those men recently while reading Suzanne Venker's addled rant against feminist women as the source of the unhappiness that saturates male-female relationships. I thought of how painful it is when you are used to having everything to now have only 80%. What a loss! Poor us! Equality sucks when you've been on top -- and men have been on top for so long that we think it's a level playing field.
If you click on the link in the quote, Suzanne said,
Women aren’t women anymore.

To say gender relations have changed dramatically is an understatement. Ever since the sexual revolution, there has been a profound overhaul in the way men and women interact. Men haven’t changed much – they had no revolution that demanded it – but women have changed dramatically. In a nutshell, women are angry. They’re also defensive, though often unknowingly. That’s because they’ve been raised to think of men as the enemy. Armed with this new attitude, women pushed men off their pedestal (women had their own pedestal, but feminists convinced them otherwise) and climbed up to take what they were taught to believe was rightfully theirs.

Now the men have nowhere to go.​
It's not quite that women view men as the enemy, but feminist women want to be a man. They project the traits they find attractive in men and think, ever so wrongly, we men would be attracted to our mirror image in some Carl Jungian way. You need look no further than ESPN. Almost every chick reporter or anchor on ESPN, so it seems, has a manjaw. As Otto Weininger once said, in his book Sex & Character (1903), the one book that Pook burned, "A woman's demand for emancipation and her qualification for it are in direct proportion to the amount of maleness in her... Those so-called 'women' who have been held up to admiration in the past and present, by the advocates of woman's rights, as examples of what women can do, have almost invariably been what I have described as sexually intermediate forms."

Feminism apparently has such a strangehold on the mangina mind that when a woman is even half-right, she is to be silenced.
Who says we can't be happy with fully equal female colleagues and coworkers? Who says we can't enjoy the joys of shared parenthood? Who says that we are biologically programmed to be both rapacious testosterone-driven animals and lazy remote-hogging couch potatoes unable to lift a finger in the kitchen?
The god of biomechanics. Michael Noer, too.

Carry on.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

You ever met Dashawn, Dartrell, DeAndre, LaShawnda? I hate to be the one to say this but typically blacks with these names are kids raised by families who don't want to integrate with white America and continue to segregrate themselves from the rest of us and teach their kids to hate whitey. Look in the newspaper under the crime section and you will see these names and start to see the truth.
my middle name is De'Shawn (though my first name is quite white lol so it evens out) and I cursed the name from the time i could talk. I routinely tell people i don't have a middle name and only use it when I am filling out an application for something. My wife didnt' know I had a middle name until I had to get my DL renewed here in california, like 2 years after we had started dating.


when we were naming our son my now wife asked me if i had any suggestions, i told her honestly i just want him to not get his job application tossed before he gets a chance to interview lol. it was a joke but it really wasn't. So we settled on Joseph.

I got 2 girl cousins. One has a son and a girl, the son name is Donald and the girl name is Brooklyn.. doesn't get any whiter than that lol. Her sister has 3 sons.. Ja'Veyon, Dontrelle and I'm not even going to attempt to jack up the last one's name but it's the most ****ed up of all three i assure you.

For the life of me i dont' get why you would do that to your son or daughter. And the mom isn't really dumb or ghetto just, doesn't get it in that instance.
