"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 know many people think I should just give up. Why should I? As long as we are on a friendly level there is always a chance to increase attraction. Women are fickle, they change there minds every day. Many relationships start out rocky and then grow into romance.

I know some of you think I'm obsessing over this one girl. She's not the only one I'm gaming, just the most challenging one. That's why most of my posts are about her.
No, there's not a chance to increase attraction. That is something that is either there or it isn't. The only exception to that is if you weight like 300 lbs and drop to a healthy weight for your height. If you keep yourself at your best and she isn't into you now, she never will be, period. You're wasting your time. I don't mean to sound negative, but it's frustrating to listen to guys think they can change whether or not someone is attracted to them just by what they say and how they act. You can't. It's about physical chemistry and if it isn't there, you can't force it to be no matter how hard you try.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

The female 'hotness to number mark' graph looks like an exponent function and has an asymptote at 10. So it never reaches ten. That's how I look at it.
