"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.

interesting that celebs don;t always date down' more in terms of social heirachy. I understand that people tend to gravitate, roughly, to people of reasonably similar status for one reason or another,
I think part of the reason that celebs tend to date other celebs in longer term relationships is lifestyle similarities.

A male pro basketball player has a much different schedule than a woman working a white collar, office job Mon-Fri 8:30 AM-5:30 PM. The pro basketball player works at night when the office working female isn't at work. Not to mention that the pro basketball player is traveling a lot for road games.

Acting isn't necessarily an 8:30 AM-5:30 PM Mon-Fri type job. Neither is modeling. I might have difficulty matching up my schedule to that of an actress or model. In my city, I have not met too many actresses or models. Even in Los Angeles, there are far more ordinary women than actresses/models.

he could probably setup for some cracking 9/10 more 'normal' women. I'd imagine that would give him much more leverage. of course, always chance that woman could go weird and still divorce him, but I;d imagine chances of getting compliance much higher due to his elite status.
At 58, Brad Pitt could be considered semi-retired, which would give him more free time to date. He's likely wealthy enough to date a woman 10-20 years younger who works a regular job and isn't famous. This 40 something I just described likely also has kids under 18 though. The Millennials are starting to turn 40 and there's been more childlessness among Millennials so it's going to start to get easier to find 40 somethings who are childless. Even with the increase in Millennial childless, the typical woman born in 1982 or 1983 now (about to turn 40) has kids.
 

"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.

Wow, if this isn't an indication of it being OVER, I don't know what is.

I would have made an "It's OVER" comment, but my disciples here have been too quick. :)

I saw it before the edit :D
 

"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.

This isn't a sign of it being over at all. Brad Pitt is 58 years old. That's pushing senior citizen age. Also, the celeb reality is different. Good portions of this story aren't relatable to more ordinary men.

I think more ordinary men experience at age 40 what Brad Pitt has experienced at 55+.

He's been with more woman than everyone on this forum and reddit combined, and he has multiple daughters, so Ofc he's gonna be blue pilled. He's not the average stressed out man dealing with women. What your wrote is comedy, why would an above average man care about PUA and lame stuff like holding frame and being a cuck:lol:.
Aren't you the same guy that was divorced twice? Maybe don't throw stones in a glass house.

I strongly believe a 25 yrs old guy whos LMS score is 6 has better opportunities than a 35 yrs old man whos LMS is 7.

When they say that it gets "easier" to get laid in our mid 30s it's true, what they dont tell you is that your fishing dock is older and has baggage.

I think the decrease of libido for men that starts in their 40s is some "patch" from mother nature after realizing what women become after their mid 30s.

It surely is a response. When he finds a healthy situation that all returns.

C0cky for being a new member here.
Whatever dude.
I've been on here for about 3 months, and was lurking before. Brad Pitt doesn't need advice from a red piller, that poster sounds extremely ignorant.

A 25 year old man is better positioned for success with 20-25 year old women. It's a major advantage that at 25, 21-23 year old women consider you a viable prospect. That's much less likely to happen for the 35 year old man. The Manosphere tends to overstate the advantages of being a 30 something male. In my 30s, it has not been that much easier to get laid than it was in my 20s.

A 35 year old man is typically dealing with 30-35 year old women. Even childless women 30-35 don't have as impressive of bodies as a 22-27 year old.

There's something to this. If you're in your 40s and the only women you're seeing naked in person are women close to your own age, that's not that appetizing. I find women in their 30s/40s physically attractive in a lot of cases but realize that they are not as attractive as a woman under 30 or under 25.

"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.

Brad needs to surround himself with 18 to 25 year olds and vibe it. So many free fish he letting get away. Even Michael Jackson coined the term "fishing" as the girls were beating on the windows of his limo when he was driving through town.

You are correct. It's very difficult for me to admit that my glory days are over. It's tough letting go gaming young women. My last girl was 24 but I got lucky because I worked with her. I got a 25 yr old but that's because I geo maxed and went over seas.

Maybe I can get one more 24 yr old until I finally call it a day. Sigh

Our local black pill squad isn't going to know what to do with themselves with this news.
