"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.

Guys,
I've got a theme party in a couple of days and i need some ideas for what to dress up as. You are required to dress up as "when i grow up i want to be" ... can't be doctors or dentists cos thats what we will be.

Ideas are things like construction workers, pimps, h. heffner, fireman etc.

I have very little in the way of costumes- can't do stuff like policeman or plumber. I want to do something simple and easy- so that after the event i can go out to a club or whatever in the clothes i am wearing.

I was thinking something like james bond, or zorro... a formal attire, black outfit... or suit... with something easy like a mask , bandana etc.

Need something that will also be effective.

Cheers,
f.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Go as a sophisticated english scholar.

Formal attire, and a magnifying glass end taped to a stick as a monocle.

Field tested, and guaranteed to please ;).

Ever watched the movie Don Juan De Marco? Dress like him, with the mask and all. Or another good idea is dressing like Superman or Batman.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I second this idea. You can find a crappy old Sherlock Holmes style brown patterned jacket at an op-shop for cheap. Bring a cane and tap girls on the arse with it! Oh and say you're from Essex or Sussex or one of those.

My sister always raves excitedly about guys who dressed up at parties like this. According to her all the girls love it.
 

"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.

You should dress up like a thug. Wear a bandana, chain, beater, bubble vest, boots, wicked big sweatpants and pull one leg up. First of all its really comfortable, and its pretty funny. I did it for a party one time and i was rockin out with my cack out later. And I'm a 5'9 165 lb white guy and pulled this off. Do it.
