You're an idiot, sorry. 
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 could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
I'm an idiot? Says the guy arguing with a guy with a legal background and knows the police procedural. What's you background?backseatjuan said:You're an idiot, sorry.![]()
Exactly.TizZle said:lmao. all they got to do is bring in a drug dog and "use" it to get to a point to where they can search your car. you're kidding yourself if you don't think they can get a dog to hit on a part of a car even if drugs aren't present.
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.
Cops can lie to you. It's completely legal.Jake_tha_Boss said:don't say nothin to police, ask for a lawyer & be patient, don't let anything a cop says scare u, they will lie their asses off to scare u and get u to talkin
Hmmmm... excellent words. Hopefully I'll remember this when I need it.Bible_Belt said:And here's some more magic words:
"I feel intimidated."
If the cops are wearing a recording device, which is common, those words will fvck up their day. That's because when the judge later looks at whether the search was legal, the two factors he balances against each other are 'informed consent to the search' versus police intimidation.

Always presume they are lying to you unless they show you proof they are not.Jake_tha_Boss said:i know that but some people think police don't lie because theyre "looked up to"
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.
