"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 you think sports betting has exploded because sexless men need the excitement of it to replace the conquest of poon they are missing?

I was reading this, and it got me interested:
my opinion: Sure, there is p0rn, and today's interactive p0rn experience (e.g., Chaturbate & OnlyFans :rolleyes: ) blows away dirty magazines and even filmed p0rn of old, and there are video games (even p0rn-simulation games :rolleyes:), but sports has the inherent aspect of conquest. Also, I guess a side effect of the incelibacy is that men have a lot of disposable income.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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 can see how this idea makes sense. 28% of 18+ men have no sex in a given calendar year. Those are the worst of the worst cases. Then there are men who have no consistent partner and inconsistent sex. That probably takes the number of near sexless men up past 35%.

Married people are even having less sex than they once did.


"When looking only at married people, the drop was even sharper — from around 73 times a year in 1990 to around 55 in 2014."

"Among married couples under the age of 60, 26% had sex once a month or less in 2021. In 1989, it was 12%…"

Ever since they have gotten involved in sports betting, the guys have become insufferable. They literally lack a soul now and every ounce of free time is spent or shared with that hobby. I feel sorry for any woman sucker enough to date them lol.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

To an extent, yes. But this definitely applies to video games. Most men are not winning in life, reaching their potential, or being the men their families and communities deserve, or worse, they themselves deserve.

They have been deceived and given the false sense of winning at anything through video games. It's the only way for some men to feel successful often seen as escapism from their regular meaningless lives. It's a sad epidemic to see in modern times.

No.

It exploded because of fantasy sports and because it's now legal in most states in the US. Simplest reason is usually the right reason.

No need to try and overthink this and correlate it to random things.
 

"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.

Common sense tells that while some people would do it illegally, far more will do it once it's legal

possible, but also would be more willing to share, no one is really open to his vices, even more if is considered illegal or a bad thing, with an air of "legality" people are more willing to be open.

just think on whole weed thing, more people now are willing to say they do it since its kinda legal, when in most cases they would just hide it

course like you mentioned easy access always ease things, but I don't think it would be as big as they say
