"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.

Just got back from the store opening at midnight. I am unwrapping the best game ever made. It's going to be great! Anyone else pick this game up yet?
 

"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.

It looks good, but I'm not an hardcore gamer like that, I'm the type of person that will get it a year later once price goes down.

I'd love to get the game.

Don't know if I will have the time to play it but maybe I'll get it.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I got it! I actually got it an hour before a lot of the pre order guys got it lol Goddamn the city is huge. I was a little worried from the leaked videos that the game would be filled with empty streets, but it's sprawling with life. I love the radio stations and really dig the fact that they used the shooting mechanics from Max Payne 3.

lol games and watching movies take up a lot of time, and waste a lot of time, I really don't have time for neither.

Got it earlier today, just started it. San Andreas was my favorite GTA, so I was pretty pumped about this being back in SA, and the map being huuuuuuuge and more realistic to LA. I won't have much time to play it at all though, which sucks considering the scope of the game seems enormous.
 

"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.

Have you picked up the hooker yet? This game is straight up porn. You pay 50 for a BJ, 70 for anal and 100 for everything and you can watch it while she services you. You can change the camera around. It's awesome. Then after I used her up I killed her and got my money back.

She says things like "*** on my face", "**** my face" and it has slurping sounds. Funny as hell.

Lol didn't you say you were turning your life over to Jesus? This game violates all kinds of Christian values.

As tragic as this may sound video games can be much more satisfying than women at times.

How does it compare to say... saints row or gta 4 or gta liberty city stories?

I'm a fan of GTA also... my wife will sit and watch me play for hours, funny. Thought 4 was absolutely amazing, however, I still prefer the old top down computer versions better though... there was something great about them that this 3D series just can't seem to re-create. The Crackdown series for XBOX is also top notch, highly recommend it.

I'll get mine later this week.

100 times better than all of them. GTA4 was too confined and repetitive. I quit half way through. Saints Row is just whacky, and I beat the last one in 8 hours. That's way too short and rushed.

The hype is true that GTA5 is the best game ever made.

you must didn't see my post about not having time for either, under it. Saints row is trying to be something different then a gta clone, that's why the game is so wacky now.

Is this game better then san andreas, cause that was the best gta

I would say 99% of the time.

Also just a head's up, I finished a wicked game for the xbox called XCOM: The Bureau... its great, also XCOM: Enemy Unknown... very good games, couldn't put them down. You can probably get the latter one used for 20 bucks somewhere.

Much better. GTA5's world can fit the world From GTA4, San Andreas, and Red Dead Redemption inside of it.
