"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 guess in other words do you guys next shallow chicks or do I have an odd preference?
 

"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 can get at least one intelligent conversation out of everyone. Everyone has opinions on the human condition, the future, men and women.

Take time finding out her hobbies and passions(if any) and then decide if she is compatible with you.

I did not have any "intelligent" discussions of ideas with my girlfriend for the first several months. Our mutual interests, hobbies and physical attraction sustained us until we became more comfortable in conversation.

But it sounds like you are on the right track. Many guys here only care about bedding a woman and couldn't care less about what they have to say. Good luck!
