"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.

Like I said in the original post, a better dating/sex life was a major reason I made the move but it wasn't the only reason. There are many cultural reasons as well. I wanted to connect with a different culture, establish different connections, learn a new language etc. But this is a forum about dating/sex so of course I emphasized that portion of the reasoning.

I find it disrespectful, cynical and overly reductive to look at moves like this as purely transactional and materialistic. The reality is that attraction is often spiked by adventure, differences between cultures, heightened experience that comes with travel, etc. This is a very exciting time in my life as I have left the dreary big American cities.

It's amazing to walk around and see new interesting architecture, connect with a history that is interesting and old, to see different cultures/ethnicities walking around. To hear different languages. For the city to be walkable. For the girls not to have hard faces of indifference towards the men. Even the local guys meet more women here and have better chances than the US local dudes have with their locals. I see it all the time. Local men who aren't rich or fancy just walking around hand-in-hand with beautiful women.

I feel like love is just generally more in the air here.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Inside her mind
I get where you’re coming from, OP. The older I get, the lower my tolerance for American women becomes.
Once you travel abroad you realize how overrated a lot of American women are. In certain places foreign women just exude femininity.


I truly feel that if a man has the opportunity to live abroad, not for women, but primarily to improve his lifestyle, physical health, mental well being, etc., then why not? And if better dating is one of the perks, even better.

Personally, I think American men jumped the shark a long time ago. This latest “looksmaxxing” trend just shows how abysmal the dating scene has become here. Do you think they’re looksmaxxing in Dagestan? Hell no. They’re manmaxxing. Haha.
