"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.

Whatever the logistics dictates. I don't think about it.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

The feminist woman does not deserve to have her door opened for her. In fact, they claim to hate it when a man opens the door for them.

Don't be a chump. Open the door and demand that your woman act like a lady in return.

The reason is that this is when you observe her. A good woman will allow you to open the door for her and she won't get in the way. She will stand on the correct side of the door and if it is a double door she will wait patently for you to open both. In other words a lady knows how to be a lady.

I do recall a few women I've dated walking ahead of me or not allowing me to open the door for them. I personally consider this to be disrespectful. When this happens I often make a sly comment like, "You don't know how to be a lady, do you? Here, let me teach you how to be a lady". I'll then proceed to instruct her how on how to identify what side of the door she should stand on and wait for the man to open it for her. This can be done in a very funny way and you can make the girl laugh quite a bit too.

I now have a girl that does this every time - she shows some f**king respect.

I hold open doors for anyone who's nearby. I agree it's kinda sexist to do it this way. It's not the act that's wrong, it's the motive.

I would add that I'm a complete noob DJ, just getting back in the game. But this clearly violates one of the primary directives I've seen here. Let her hold the door for you, bro.

Don't know how holding doors is a bad idea. The very first PUA material I got from david deangelo he recommended chivalorous stuff like that and i've been doing it since then with good results. but do it like a man. make her feel her femininity. its your door and you are guiding her through it.

It's sexist. Stop doing that. Women wanted equality, it's up to men to give it to them...lumps and all. If you hold doors open for everyone, that's just being polite and I'm cool with that.
I concur. I don't open the doors for all women anymore (meen for that matter either) If I do it, I don't give much thought to it. It just reall depends if I'm having a shyttie day or not. I quit giving AF as to how a woman feels about it. They want equality, then I give them that in every sense of the word. But I don't take no lip because of it.:nono:
 

"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.
