"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.

the other day i stopped by the mall to look at jeans, theres so many kinds,

low rise, carpenter, boot cut, straight leg, relaxed fit, etc etc.

i tried on a few but wasnt sure which one to get, the choice just overwhelmed me.

i am about 5"8, quite skinny actually. if this is any use.

so what kind of jeans do you wear? or is it anything
 

"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.

I wear chick pants sometimes. Or just something tight fitting. Some cordoroys.
Whatever man. Boot cut's the best.
Highwaters are becoming fashionable I hear.

Since you're 5'8,you might like straight leg and low rise.Don't wear boot cuts,its not right for your height.But yeah,always wear one you're comfortable in,because sometimes jeans do get on your nerves.

Try Wrangler jeans,I really like them.They're just around $25-$30.I also like Lee Cooper,bought a couple of faded jeans of theirs and they're really cool.Cost only like $30 a pair.

Cheers!

Highwaters are a joke. Pants that come up past your socks, so people see your legs. Like, I'm poor, so I wear my old pants every now and then. They're highwaters. lol. But actually, if you're comfortable in them, it doesn't matter.
 

"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.

Yo man whats up. I was in your predicament too. I am 5'8 about 130 lbs.

The best advice I can give you is to buy a GQ magazine...It will be well worth it in the long run. Look for styles that you like or think you can pull off and go to the mall orhit up a clearance sale or bargain store if you cant afford it. Right now Im gonna buy some Levi 501's when I get some more money but Im broke at the moment. I would recommend 501's cuz they go with everything and they dont hug your balls but they arent baggy fitting.

^^helped me immensely

Remember if you have a baggy shirt you should wear baggy pants and vice versa. It doesnt look right when you mix it makes the baggy stuff look real baggy and the fitting stuff look hella tight

Cop some linen pants also cuz they look fresh with a tee shirt...But professional like. They are almost as good as jeans in terms of versatility.

Also actually TRY YOUR STUFF ON... You are making an investment on how you will look in the future. You owe it to yourself to try it on, look in the mirror and make sure you are satisfied and can see yourself wearing it.

Anyway, I own like 8 pairs of jeans.
 

"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.
