"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.

At least, in my opinion. I've enjoyed cooking since I was 12, and it's certainly come in handy throughout my life. In my experience, women are super attracted to a guy who knows his way around a kitchen. A while back, I was on a date at a girl's house, and she asked me to open the bottle of wine. I had no idea how to. So, I pulled up a YT video to walk me through it.

Not my finest moment.

Anyway, earlier today, I came across Ernest Hemingway's favorite burger recipe. I don't know how many of y'all are foodies, but thought you may like to give it a try one day. This original recipe of Hemingway's was found at the JFK Museum in Boston:

"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.

Hi Willie,
No one made Hamberger Patties with that recipe,it would turn out like Hospital Mince...If you must try it,then forget the Spices and Wine, just thicken with Fallaffel Flour,roll in seasoned breadcrumbs.

This is indeed how Hemingway made his favorite burger.

Made one last night, and it's really good. Some of the Spice Island spices have been DCd, so I used soy sauce and some other things instead.

Also, I didn't use India relish.

Hi Willie,
Glad you enjoyed your Burgers,a Guy who has been cooking since twelve needs no lessons from me,I started in earnest during my late thirties,too late....Seems we come to life with little boxes in our brains that need a key to be opened,the later you leave it the more difficult it is to develop...Tactile and co-ordination skills like,Cooking,Gardening,Dancing will be learnt much more easily and naturally during ones youth...Applies to all things,seems the Wolf Children of India though rescued in late infancy,never learned to walk erect nor speak.If skills are not triggered early enough they will never develop to full potential.

You're spot on. They say it's harder to learn a foreign language, the older you get.

You been in Australia your whole life?
 

"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.
