"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.

so basically recently on the news- in the Uk, where i'm from- up north there is a guy who's just split up with his girlfriend who he finds out actually got with a police officer and married him.

His response:

do you think this kind of thing is what could be the causes of all these mass shootings? well atleast something related to a women?

hit me with your opinions and ideas

Peace

Aaz

UPDATE: Not sure if they were married as BBC and CNN say different things. But anyway- the point is still the same.

and its a good piece of info- but the guy is a Bouncer.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

And yet this happens so often I'm not even surprised.

"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.

Umm, no he didn't. He blew his brains out with a shotgun. Not sure where you get your "news" from.

Actually, the family does seem to be debating on getting a second postmortem from an external source, as there were apparently 2 tasers fired.

Yea I know there is talk of 2 tasers being fired. However, Aazman said that he was arrested when in reality he blew his brains out...that's what I was referring to.

I thought the postmortem concluded that there were no taser marks anyway?

I mentioned that the family was considering getting a second postmortem.. I mean if the 2 tasers were fired why are there no marks reported in the postmortem? And if these marks were omitted or missed are these results reliable?

EDIT: I'm sure the cause of death is probably the self-inflicted bullet wound, but what if the trigger was reflexively pulled when the guy got hit with the tasers? There is an independent police inquiry into this, but I don't know enough about these to know if they are reliable.
 

"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.

+1, not everyone falls into categories of DJ and AFC. Moat wasn't an Average Frustrated Chump, he was a psychotic enraged hard nut.
