"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.

holy cow this girl told me i had the teddy bear look going for me... i guess that's just a nice way to telling me that i'm fat...

i had a very weird situation tonight. my buddy and i were kind of going after the same girl. they took a cab home together (not sure if they actually went home at all) but she gave me her number when i said that i wanted to take her out earlier in the night... this is the same girl who said i was a teddy bear. my buddy was grinding with her most of the night and he's a doctor, so i think he won the game.

this is weird when did i become so fat. i actually work out pretty often but eat like a **** head. i'm actually supposed to go out with this hot chick next week - i don't know what's going on.

back to the chick, do i even have a shot with her? i don't want know what my boy did with her. he's known as a really nice guy and man with no backbone, so i'm hoping to call her and take her out.

what do you guys think? your opinion would be very much appreciated....
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Plenty of women like a bit of padding. ;)

(keep telling yourself that, Alex..)

Oh no, the dreaded teddy bear comment! I've heard that before in my past and it never boded well. :(

It's not necessarily all about your physical appearance. I learned that a lot of it was related to me being non-threatening, non-sexual and comfortable. The girls that used the teddy bear comment only ever saw me as a friend, but a friend who they wanted to cuddle and go places with. I always felt that these girls talked down to me too, and often used comments like "awww" in response to things I'd say.

A few tips that helped me overcome the teddy bear image...

1. Work out - aim for a good overall muscle structure and shape to your physique and ideally tone up a bit.
2. Dress and groom fashionably and a little edgy - no side or middle hair partings, no wooly jumpers or cute t-shirts etc.
3. Express your sexuality more - comment on hot women, make (subtle and inoffensive) sexual jokes and absolutely never shy away from sex talk.
4. Flirt - kino and verbally flirt more often.

Working out also makes you feel more bold and masculine, so that should help without any real conscious change to your behaviour.

I've ****ed a few girls who called me a "teddy bear". I think it's because I look intimidating and imposing, but my personality doesn't match the aesthetics.

Just respond with something about them still sleeping with teddy bears. I can't think of something exacly, because I'm drunk, but you know what I mean.
