"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.

"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.

Its an awful tragic loss to the world.

This guy was the greatest standup comedian of all time.

I was fortunate enough to see him live at Kewadin Casino a long time ago.

RIP George, you were awesome man.

Anyone else think that he wasn't funny at all? Maybe I've just been watching the wrong videos.
Some people don't get his sense of humor. It is mostly geared towards working class and older people. If you are in your early 20's or younger chances are that you wouldn't find him that funny, but don't you dare to name some phoney comedian like Dane Cook as the best comedian alive.

George Carlin, Sam Kinison, Bill Hicks and David Cross are what is known as "smart comedy".

The opposite of smart comedy is Larry the Cable Guy, Dane Cook or Carlos Mencia.

You'd probably enjoy the second batch of comedians I listed SJC.

He was funny, but alot of his stuff was just to politically driven for my tastes.

Kinda like Bill Maher.

He was at his funniest in the late 70s - eary 80s when he was less politically "ranty" and just did funny stuff.

True Story:

Back around 1970, my mom was out on a dinner/comedy date in the NY area. Carlin was the featured comedian, and among a whole dining room full of people, she was the only one laughing at his jokes.
Before leaving the stage, he looked in her direction and quipped, "I'd like to thank my audient" and exited the venue.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Wherever I please
The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What’s that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you’re too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating …and you finish off as an orgasm.

Thanks for posting that, Red Spicy...

That was poignant and funny at the same time.

He was one of my favorites, I was out of the country and had no idea he died until I got back home last night. Too bad. At least he got to live a relatively long life though, compared to Bill Hicks. :(
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
