"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.

To all the Noobs that crowd the DJ forum:

Go BACK. By that I mean back in time. Go to the archives. There is so much more quality advice in the archives than the mediocre stuff that is on the boards these days. This board's kind of like the NBA today. Back in the day we had the Magics, the Birds, the Bill Russels, the Chaimberlins, etc. dishing out some fantastic advice. Now, all we have are Iversons, Kobes, and Glen Rices.... good at doing it for themselves but crappy at giving advice. I myself am not that good at giving out advice as the old greats on the DJ forum were. GO BACK INTO THE ARCHIVES and read every single post.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I've noticed that there are a lot of new people here. I guess that is good, but it was nice to see the same people posting and get to know their personalities.

It's always adviseable to do your research before answering a question...

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

The problem with relying on the board for insight to a large extent is that once people achieve and are able to sustain the level of skill they had originally wanted to be at they tend to stop reading and posting. Or...maybe they got to that level BECAUSE they stopped reading and posting. Hmmmm....that's one to think about. ;)

You cannot imagine how much that has helped me in the last week alone.
