"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 important do you all think this is when it comes to dating/attraction?
 

"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.

Women are highly emotional beings. How important do you think it is in understanding and dealing with women?

Very important I'm sure. I'm bad at empathizing and wanted to hear from others

Emotional Intelligence is not really essential for short term flings.

But if you have any long term aspirations, then it's absolutely necessary. The more the better. Of course, it's only one trait out of many that make a well rounded person. Definitely not a shortcut, and definitely not only applicable to creating attraction in ladies.

Being able to read between the lines, or to "read the air" as they say in Japan, is highly dependent on emotional intelligence.

If you were in sales, for example, having more emotional intelligence would be a huge asset, all else equal.

Despite beliefs to the contrary, all humans (not just ladies) are extremely emotional and rarely logical.

We ain't vulcans, that's for sure.

It's an oxymoron like 'jumbo shrimp'.

Logic and emotion are not friends.:p
 

“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.

That phrase is referring to how well someone can read and express emotions. And it’s describing the intelligence one has with emotions. Hence the ‘-al’ after emotion. Plus, ‘emotion’ was placed before ‘intelligence’. It would have been oxymoronic had that been reversed but it isn’t. Syntax and suffixes are key to determining what this means here. You don’t even have to have prior knowledge about what this is if you understand English very well.
