"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.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

How am I "getting bad"? I'm simply posting information that will help explain the behavior of women better to those who wish to understand it more. Nowhere am I telling anyone to change or that they have to patronize women. Yet it seems that a couple of you guys are hell bent on trying to twist what I am posting to make it appear that I am saying something entirely different than I actually am.Originally posted by BigBill:

so we should put up with this b/s and just say 'thats just the way it is'.wyldfire why do i feel that somehow you are trying to tell ok that this is ok and should live with it?maybe cause i am the devil?
if a man does some hoes sh!t in the same vain he would be shot down and most women would think a man as weak,stupid,ect
men and women are equal,so i was faced with the question you gave as example.i would look at her..then say it is not the dress at all your totaly fat, then 'finsh her'(mortal kombat fans)by says 'thats why she needs so much make up'.........stop pull a face like i now see her in a different light....hold my mouth say i have to toilet.....and she would never see me again
i would not do that IF she was someone i REALLY wanted to have a **** bubby fling with (after i **** her the first time the only time she would see me is when we are ****ing saying hoes sh!t like that).there would really have a strong sexual connection with.after that question no longer LTR with her.
yes i am the devil (smile)
i dont seem to think that i need a woman in LTRs,marrige,whatever for some reason.this part of our social programming i duly resent(of course i dont what kids are you mad?if i do i will maybe adopt one 3yrs and up)we are told that we should go thought education,get a good job(hopefully one that PAYS well,dont matter if you would be infintely happier owning a comic shop)then you get married,have kids and die.changes are if you miss out some of these your labeled a 'loser'. why dont you get married tony??...are you gay tony?....tony if you love me marry me are thats it. how may people get married because its THE RIGHT THING TO DO?
where does married come from? religion! most people dont belive in any god and yet they get married
BACK ON TRACK
yes i really would think very little of a woman who plays these HOE games.
personaly a lot depends on this (well not that much)have you ever meet a woman who does not 'need drama' ? i sure hope they exist...wait i meet some about 5 in total!
oh where do you think women learn this stuff??
hit me back

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
The point I am trying to make to Wildthang is that men can no more expect women to change to suit what he wants than they can expect him to change to suit what they want. Things don't work that way and the sooner a person figures that out the better, because it saves them an awful lot of heartache.
Likewise, you can't force someone to be able to communicate in the same way you do. This conversation is a perfect example. I KNOW that I am not telling anyone they have to accept behavior they don't want to deal with, but some of the men here are convinced that's what I am saying. Lord knows I am trying to be as clear as I possibly can to get my point across, but some people are just not understanding me. Those guys most likely are feeling the same way about what they are trying to get across to me. It's not anyone's fault, it's just the way things are sometimes.

The Drama Queen
There are people who cannot do without some constant drama in their lives--it is their way of deflecting boredom. The greatest mistake you can make in seducing these Drama Queens is to come offering stability and security. That will only make them run for the hills. Most often, Drama Queens(and there are plenty of men in this category) enjoy playing the victim. They want something to complain about, they want pain. Pain is a source of pleasure for them. With this type, you have to be willing and able to give them the mental rough treatment they desire. That is the only way to seduce them in a deep manner. The moment you turn too nice, they will find some reason to quarrel or get rid of you.
You recognize Drama Queens by the number of people who have hurt them, the tradegies and traumas that have befallen them. At the extreme, they can be hopelessly selfish and anti-seductive, but most of them are relatively harmless and will make fine victims if you can live with the sturm und drang. If for some reason you want something long term with this type, you will constantly have to inject drama into your relationship. For some this can be an exciting challenge and a source for constantly renewing the relationship. Generally, however, you should see an involvement with a Drama Queen as something fleeting and a way to bring a little drama into your own life.
Hope this helps!

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Hey Gip,
It's good. There is some redundancy with this site and the book. But it is very interesting. I like it as much as his other book, "48 Laws of Power", which I highly recommend for every DJ.
Here is a link to read a little bio on the book: http://shop.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=684JSJAML6&mscssid=A0F3KRJF8C9B9G0KVLS4J214QGDN16KD&isbn=0670891924
If I don't talk to you before tomorrow, have a great Thanksgiving!
Take Care,

Chill out on Wyldfire - she's just trying to help. And she hit it right on the head: in this discussion, you guys are playing the role of chicks and she's the man. She's being completely logical and consistent: she agreed with you all that a lot of women are drama queens and gave you suggestions for how to deal with them. Then you guys flame her and tell her to somehow change how all women act. Guess what? I don't think she can do that and she's trying to help in the best way she can.
