"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.

I know it might sound strange to say, but many of us grew up without a father figure.
Because of that, we often have to make a deep internal effort to truly become men ourselves.
Finding a mentor doesn’t just help you channel your growth, it also makes life feel much more meaningful and fulfilling.


So how did you go about finding the right men and environments in your own life?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I actually did much self introspection and turned to certain authors. Then from there I stuck with or found the right friends, who are all decent, caring men. Perhaps the suggestion above for mean men would work for some. For me, it wouldn’t.
 

"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.

From such men we receive tutelage in the fine art of finding Biblical justifications for littering the nation with the corpses of a few hundred strangled hookers, and mistaking F-cker Carlson for a modern-day Mark Twain

Gardeners, Manual Workers, Electricians, Plumbers.
I have many examples, and they are all men with risky finances.

Why them and not the office ones?
generally those manual workers will be in better physical health. That in turn affects how the pretense and mind work. They usually will be more in tune with emotions.
Emotions are everything.

its also perfectly possible that an office worker who trains hard in some physical thing such as boxing or other.. will be the same, and then they also have the money.
