"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.

guys I understand that this is a movie but too many stories I've heard here tell me that this is extremely accurate. Hypergamy, extreme betatude and bpd traits are at their extreme. I'll never get married, honestly I wouldn't have been able to see it coming if I had been in the guy's shoes. It's sad but there's no point to bet your mental sanity and half of your assets for this.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Saw the movie with my then wife in a theater. Didn't care for it then, but I'm curious about watching it now in retrospect. I vaguely remember it, but I do remember just feeling so bad for the guy, especially when he attempts to rekindle things in that lousy hotel and the wife is just not into it. Depressing movie.

Just saw it on Netflix.

I would rate it 3/5 just for the purpose that this actually happens. Dean is a bit of an AFC ignoring red flags beforehand and engaging arguments but his wife is also a bit not there in the head. I wish it show cased on how their marriage BEGAN to fall apart rather than the middle.

"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.
