"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.

Just like it reads. Just been bummed out even though I'm crushing it in my job. I've pretty much got rid of the plates I was spinning as I just don't see any future with them so that kind of compounds loneliness. One was a smoking hot total nut which made me miserable and literally made me question my own sanity. I spent WAY too much time f*cking around with her. My best buddy is wifed up and spends all his time with his chick now. It feels as though that for the last while, I have been focusing my attention in the wrong directions instead of on myself or positive things. Like I've taken the wrong path? Now that I don't have much but myself until I move back to the city, I suddenly feel - irrelevant on my own? Dunno. Few years back I was a slaying life/chicks/ socially. Now at 29 I'm a bit lost in direction... Feel as though I've gotten comfortable in the wrong position. Any input? Or guidence older bros?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Happens to all of us bro. It's probably just a phase.

We slayed girls when we were younger and were at our social peak. We say things like "I should have focused more on my finances/business..."

We slayed the corporate world or built a business. We say things like "I should have been more social and built my network and slayed these girls..."

Have some whiskey and wait until tomorrow comes.

Self improvement man.


I'm 31 and I can tell you alot of positive love and contentment can come as a gift from yourself to yourself. You can find that inner happiness and then everything else is secondary. Love yourself, focus on self improvement, and recognize that your negative emotions are your inner selfs way of asking for help. As you give yourself the needed time and attention you will start to feel a great sense of peace.

"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.

Your best buddy sounds like he's gone.

Get some male friends. It might take some time but stick it out.

It's crazy but I would say at least half of the male problems would be solved here if the guy had male buddies. You got to have mates pal, it's fundamental

Truth, pal. Especially in this day and age when so many men are abandoning each other when they need each other the most. It's like men nowadays don't like to admit that they want to be friends with each other.

It's a constant struggle for me to find fellow guys to hang out with it, that aren't total betas or bobble-heads.

If you feel like one it's because you're letting yourself feel like one. You need to reframe your thoughts by asking why you think that way. It doesn't sound like it's an accurate description of reality from what you posted. So why do you think that? You have control over what you think and feel, but it's a muscle you have to exercise.
