"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.

Good post.

Both genders have their peak in attractiveness at different ages. Physically attractive women ages 18-30 are always in the highest demand and have lots of options. For men its more like 28-40. For both genders age alone doesn't create value. Women need looks and men need status. A homeless man of ANY age will have limited options just like an ugly woman of any age.

The good news is men have more control than women. Men can raise their value through education, wealth, hitting the gym, career advancement, etc. Women rely mostly on genetics and youth.. which they have no control over. Plus, they have a smaller time window than men to be attractive AND to reproduce.
starting to think that is true
 

"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.

While I agree that men in their 30s will have more options, this comes with a caveat that was discussed on this forum on another thread. Men in their 30s with some form of self worth, and have something working for them will have more options. A complacent schlub with nothing going for him who didn't **** women in his 20s and has made no efforts to improve will NOT be ****ing women in his 30s. Age in and of itself will not be a factor in how much more sex you get. Age for the guy who works on himself will be congruent with how well they have improved their job/looks/ status.
