"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.

Do I need Facebook?

Hey all like the title says, do I need facebook? I'm 21 and it seems everyone but me has it. So far every girl I talk to asks if I have a facebook. To be honest with you I never did like myspace/facebook it really isn't my thing.

Is it hurting me to not have it? I mean do they think automatically I'm weird for not being on facebook? What are some lines I can say if I get asked?
 

"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.

Just say you don't use it... you don't need to explain yourself to some b1tch.

And I can only see Facebook helping your game if you have big social status and multiple women interested in you, otherwise it may kill the 'mystery' that you should have going for you.

Try this one: " I never did like myspace/facebook it really isn't my thing". There you go. Girls will hear the sincerity in that because it's sincere.

Stop worrying about what people think. And, email is fine, facebook will just end up causing you a lot of problems when you want to end a relationship. All sorts of drama will get stirred up and if she has a list of all the people you know and how to get ahold of them she'll have a field day with that too.

And, don't use phrases like "to be honest with you". I know it's a common (bad) figure of speech, but any time you use a phrase like that with a women it activates her bullshait filter.

Girls like to ask about facebook because it's a way to contact you rather than outright asking you to call them. The problem is that facebook gives women the all of your power by treating it like they would with answering machine messages. She has all the power and even though she could just write back, depending on her mood or what effect she wants to get, she can delay writing back or just not get back at all.

If a girl you're interested in is acting friendly and asks about facebook, say the above that you wrote and add "but I will take your phone number" or whatever you feel like about a #. If she balks, it's 100% certain that she was just going to toy with you on facebook anyway so you've saved a lot of trouble and found out exactly how interested she is in you.

Yeah I don't think you need one, but a lot of posters here would say to AVOID facebook, delete your facebook, social networking sites kill your sense of mystery...I disagree with that, if you have two or three good pictures and you don't reveal everything about you in your info, there's nothing wrong with it. Most people have one, you can look at a girl's profile and tell a lot about her, and it's a good way to communicate with dudes as well.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

not here. in the real world.
I got rid of facebook 7 months ago, and it's the best thing I've ever done. You'de be surprised as to how much of the brain is freed when one becomes unconcerned about the ongoings of "online sociality". I stay in touch with whom I want to, and if having fbook really is the maker or breaker with women or anyone, then they weren't worth much to begin with.

You dont need it.

I agree with Buddha_Mind on this one, I deleted my face book account last week and i'm definitely not missing anything. Stupid *****es posting what they think and feel for everyone to see every 5 minutes, online tests, retarded groups and too much information available to potential plates.

Don't bother with all the crap and just tell them your not interested in wasting your time with juvenile crap like that.

To this day, no Facebook page.

"Are you on Facebook?"
"I don't do Facebook, it's not my thing."

But I really LIKE mysterious guy's extension:

"But I will take your phone number."

I deleted mine a few months ago. I haven't looked back either. If your dating multiple woman it may hurt your game. All it takes is one messed up post and then you have to go into damage control. Just my 2 cents.
