"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.

or are they sub-men. i mean there is a reason muslims keep their women in check and deprive them from lots of rights. and if you go back in history the whole world basically kept women down under.

there was a reason for that. i dont think men woke up one day and just said "HEY LETS MAKE LIFE MISERABLE FOR WOMEN FROM NOW ON"


according to some people womens lib of the 20`s was greatly fueled by the rockefellers so they can tax the other half of the population( since women werent allowed to work hence cant be taxed)

and as soon they liberated themselves they started to challenge the social status quo specially in the 60`s(feminism).

still to this day women have shown that they would rather share a successful man than to have a loser to themselves( charlie sheen living with 2 girls)

are women equal to us? do you view them as an equal?
 

"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.

Muslims "keep their women in check" in impoverished areas. There are plenty of educated professional women in muslim countries. I'm not muslim, nor am I sticking up for muslim countries...but your argument is flawed.

Actually that tends to be the trend. The crappier the area, the more repressed women are. Of course the Taliban is gonna repress women. They're poor, uneducated, and they live in sh*t. Is that an example you want our country to follow?

As as far as the history of the world... I'm no history expert, but I'd say that since most of the work in the past was comprised of physical work being done by poor people, that probably would result in a woman's role being better served inside a house, raising children. She isn't hunting, fighting, or carrying logs...

Sheen's chicks? They're porn star drug addicts. I mean good for him...but that's not an example of anything.

They're different. But yeah, I'm not going to say that I'm superior to an entire group of people.

All I know is that I would never take any order from a woman and not because this site say so but because it piss the hell out of me,I trust my instinct more than some rubbish heard on tv.

It's not that they are bad or stupid it's just that everybody has a position in this world,and women are good in taking care of people or dealing with kids not to command,chose how to organize society or decide whos' worth and who's not.

If the women were not allowed to vote I bet my ass drug addicts and unemployed people would not be considered as much as now.
If you look at most of the problems of our society they all have roots in women taking decisions on emotions instead of logic.
Who else would vote some incompetant politician just because he's good looking and sociable?

Those who dont understand the value of hard work and pain cause they've been treated with gloves since their birth are not supposed to rule those who knows.
When a guy piss someone off and get beaten, he understand something that cannot be taught in school and it's more useful than some crappy degree in psycology or fashion.
I don't know if its a gender thing or the differences are due to double standards in education but the fact remains.

It's generalization of course,before some white knight comes...

I view them as complete equals. I really wish Strelok was kidding.

I feel as if they're not equal to men, in many ways. Not just physically or emotionally, but also intellectually.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

In my opinion women are separate but equal.

They have their own strengths and weaknesses, just like men.

Do not fall for the PC scared BS rhetoric that every talent between the sexes is equal.
^ ^ This.

Men and women obviously have, on the whole, better talents in different areas.
