"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.

HallMark has a campaign pushing their 'Happy Father's Day Mom' cards on Father's Day. A middle finger to all the father's in their children's lifes or screwed over by the system. It pisses me off how badly the media characterizes men and how wrong this damn campaign is. There aren't any 'Happy Mother's Day Pa' cards, and rightly so cause' that sounds downright ridiculous.

What do you guys think?

And Happy Father's Day to you all.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Happy Father's Day everybody. I hope you are able to spend it with your children regardless of how the mother and courts may fvck you over.

That said there are A LOT of boys and girls out there growing up with only Mom and maybe Grandmom holding their family together. And not because of courts or lawyers. Even as a single dad I can see the disproportionate amount of women doing it on their own. As someone who's dad was in and out of prison my whole life I've wished a Happy Father's Day to my mom before. It felt right and I know I'm not the only one.

I have been here for 31 years and never celebrated Father's Day because my Father has never played an active role in my life.

It's like "Father's Day" as a holiday is just as foreign to me as Cinco de Mayo.
