"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 the Secret Service agents visiting the brothel were ...

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?
 

"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.

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 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.

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.

"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.
