"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.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

Two schools of thought here:

1) spam approach. It’s a numbers game, so if you get 1 lay out of 100 approaches, it’s better than sitting in your room and fapping to Pornhub.

2) only pursue girls who show interest because your time is valuable and you don’t want to validate women who don’t deserve it.

Personally, I think sending messages to every woman on Match and swiping right on every girl makes the dating scene worse because it gives women so many options. The reason women are so entitled is because of this.

Women should definitely stop ghosting but why would they? It saves them a lot of drama by ghosting the guy.
