“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Do we really need gas powered vehicles anymore?

Gas powered vehicles are going to be around till there is a leap in one area: transporting goods. When there is a way to ship a large amount of stuff easily and without gas, that's when cars will change. The only alternative I see that somewhat works is to use old cooking oil. I haven't seen what kind of emissions it creates, but being able to use something twice seems to be a step in the right direction.
 

"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.

Going easy on the throttle gets you 75 mpg. That beats any hybrid, and they are much cooler. Not so great in the snow, but if a few million Americans took a 250cc motorcycle to work when the weather was nice, we'd save a lot of energy.
I came very close to getting a ninja250 a few years back. But then started having second thoughts about the safety issue. I started hearing about a rash of motorcycle fatalities and back off. If I decide to get a bike, this will be my starter bike. I don't care about speed and racing or any ****e like that. I care more about the fuel economy and just being out in the open air.

The 250r's are getting too expensive. The 2009 MSRP is now 4,000. The 2008's are still going for over 3k on eBay and craigslist.

I took the MSF rider course last year and I just need to do the written to get a license. The cost of a bike is just too high for something I don't really need.

Also the thought of riding on the freeways in SoCal kind of scares me.

You can get an older one for about $1500. My R1 is a lot of fun, but my $180 back tire is rated at only 3,000 miles, which is ridiculous. High-end sport bikes burn money. Sport touring 250s and 500s don't. A 500 gets great mileage, too, 50+ mpg. I like bikes that already have a scratch or two on the plastic so that the value drops about a grand before I buy it, instead of after.

Exactly, just from listening to traffic news on the radio, I'd say there's about one motorcycle fatality a day on L.A. freeways.
 

"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.

As f'ed up as gas vehicles may be for the environment, I wil miss them when they're gone. With these ecobox electric cars, you won't get that roar of the engine as you floor it. No more of that cool sound of shifting gears. It'll feel driving a large golf cart.
