"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.

just hard up from being shut out from hypergamic American women? Or was it just boys being boys whenever they have the chance, even though they get regularly sexed up in the USA?
 

"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.

I think it's the latter.

Seems like throughout all of history, wherever fighters go, wh0res stand to make some good money.

sex should be open and readily available for a price, just like other establishments fulfilling basic needs like restaurants and bars.

the fact that we have made sex something to fight for and earn is a female centric paradigm

if there was a clean brothel nearby I'd use it 4 times a month just for kicks the way I get my massage at the gym. (just more complete :)

Definitely the latter. I would think a lot of American women would find a secret service agent attractive. It's a dangerous line of work, the men are mysterious, and they work for the most powerful man in the world. Plus they dress well and speak little.
except for the fact you can't tell them what you do :)

I think these guys just wanted to get some "exotic" tail while they were abroad. I bet this happens quite a lot, these guys were simply unfortunate enough (or perhaps not careful enough) to get caught.

Just because guys choose to use the services of sex workers doesn't mean they can't get laid (unless we're talking about toothless, diseased crack wh0res).

I went to law school with a kid who got a SS agent job. He was very straight-laced; I don't think he even drank. I just now looked for his facebook to see if people were making Colombian wh0re jokes, and it seems like he deleted or hid it. That figures. Maybe they aren't allowed to be on facebook.

That's not true. I played baseball with a guy who bragged about being in the secret service and he even had his email signature with the secret service logo.

These guys were working hard to protect a President that hates America and is ruining the lives of future generations of Americans. it was simply downtime for them....
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
