"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.

Sh1t, right?

No.

He was cool about it. He took my rum away but let me keep my condoms....pretty cool old guy....

hope he sticks around for a long time.
 

"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.

Because that's normal. Look at what Joshski posted. That's the typical scenario.

Lmao my parents are mad chill.

They know I have a fake ID, alcohol and condoms. I told them I fvcked a girl and I go clubbing and they even picked me up once. They know I've smoked weed, but they don't encourage that or drinking.

Of course, I got cough, but it's better to come clean and you'll be surprised how your parents will react good to it.
 

"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.

The only thing my mom tells me is "Don't make me a grandma too soon." Though I would be more pissed about my dad taking my rum than my condoms.

haha i was at a friend's house one time and his mom came upstairs and was like "*****, what is this condom i found in the dryer?"

his response has me laughing to this day.

"What are you doin with my condom b1tch"

hahha
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

First of, wtf is your dad doing rumiging (pun intended) around in your room? I would ripped that **** out of his hand and installed a lock on my door the next day. Either way, I laugh at you because you prob live in the states and have to wait till your 21.

my mom found a condom in my car(my friend gave it to me on my 18th birthday and I forgot about it.) She confronted me and started crying...

That was the only time I have ever seen my mom crying about me...

Yea some parents are just very chill about everything but other parents just freeak out about everything and dont know how to let off on their kids.

About a year ago my dad happened to find a condom in one of my shorts pockets in the laundry (i have no idea how, my mom does the laundry), but he told me my mom never saw it and that if she did she would freak out. Then my dad gave me possibily one of the most awkward talks I've ever had with him in my entire life. He like told me to get into the car with him to drive to the CVS for something and I was like "Huh why do I have to go?" and he just told me to get in the car. Then like out of nowhere he just asks "Are you having sex with your girlfriend!?" Then he proceeded to tell me about all the possible consequences, and the whole thing just turned out to be very weird.

If my parents ever found a bottle of rum though they would kill me.

very similar experience once. so ready for college
 

"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.

part of this may be the age differences for buying booze in different countries, i.e. The UK (18yrs) and the states (21 usually?)

I've been drinking since younger than 18...my parents would buy me it until I was of legal age. It's pretty normal over here (UK)

And for the sex/condom thing. It's pretty standard for most guys to carry a condom in their wallet. I'd say most kids with decent popularity have had sex by time they're 17. And if not by 19, then you're doing pretty damn sh1t. My mum personally knows I shag around quite a bit, and she asks to make sure I'm using condoms because she doesn't want me getting no AIDS or some girl pregnant.

(naively assuming most of you are from the states) Do lots of you have really strict parents? Booze and condoms (even at a youngish age, like 17 or even younger) are very normal here -- my parents would never have freaked out about either at all..

This.

My dad even handed me a joint once, I said to him "I dunno, smoking weed with parents seems wrong", he replies "Don't get too caught up on sensiblities now". He's always let me drink his beer which is pretty chill I guess, some might think thats a bit odd too, but hey whatever.

I leave condoms and booze lying about the place with out fear of any repercussions, except for the fact that the booze may get drunk "beer tax" he calls it - although even when he does drink it he pays me back more than what its worth.

It's also funny when he tries to impart his knowledge of women on me, it always seems a bit like sosuave lite.

Oh and on a completely unrelated incident he passed out drunk on the front lawn last week.
 

"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.
