"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 did a search and found 2 "more smilies" threads where no responce was given.... So I thought I'd bring it up again....

Can we maybe get more smilies for the forum? At the moment there are 11 smilies that we can choose from, which is a decent ammount, but do you think we could get some more? :rolleyes: Just an idea;)

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I actually PMed allen a while ago about this and he said that he'd think about it cause he does agree that more smilies would be good. :)

So we'll see.

smileys

I like this idea. More smileys would be cooler then any avatars or anything else that is usually suggested.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

You guys want smilies because the forum gets boring eh.

How about soem fresh air. Every person you see outside has a different face. It's better than smileys. You should try it sometime.

"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.

When you get to the stage where u party and go out just HALF the amount that i do, then I'll think about listening to your advice;) Till then, take your own advice:rolleyes:

And getting more smilies has nothing to do with getting out or not, its just making things "nicer" by giving us more options to express what we say.

Vincent: y0 dude... Has Allen gotten back to you yet?:)

Re: got more smileys

no one and I mean no one can complain that the suggestions and feedback forum gets you nothing. If you do you can answer to our mods:trouble: and I only got this to say to you that do complain:moon:
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
