"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 have always had a problem with how to react to women acting like kids, squealing, cooing, generally being all girly, especially when they are all together.

A few examples:

1) Someone's (a member of the harem), got a photo of a puppy, rabbit, baby, dog, cat, hamster, dwarf, bug, pug, or what-the-f*ck-ever else on her phone and is showing it round the harem. They all go in to ballistic, squealing hysterics, then the leader of the harem hands you the phone and they all fall silent watching for your reaction.

2)....

Well, it looks like I only needed one example. You get the idea.


I generally don't go for women that act like this all the time, because I find I simply can't react to them being like this.

This is a test of some sorts, I know. It also seems as though they are 'out girling' each other as such, measuring their femininity up against each other. I usually go for the non-committal, monotone, 'Yeah, nice baby' or whatever, with a bored/blank expression.

Any more ideas greatly appreciated. This is a real weakness of mine.
 

"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.

My brother usually says "aww" too or he says...that's very cute/fluffy/tiny. It's not girly. I've seen lots of guys say it before.. but make sure you say it with enthusiasm! :D

I say something like "is he gonna keep his testicles?" or "I hope you give him a female"

"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.

I usually give an emotionless, "Ha, cute." statement.

Once a butterfly flew into an office I was working which was full of women. They were all squealing with delight and I judiciously said, "Should I kill it?" You can imagine the thunderous girly outcry of "No!"

And how does your brother do with the ladies? What is his status now? How many times has he been dumped?

By "harem" do you mean polygamy?
Not really. Though I'd be willing to give it a try. I am quite able to hold the attention of a room full of women. I imagine, given a little work, I would be equally as capable of satiating their innermost desires.

What I refer to in this context is the group. I often find myself as the sole male in a group of females. Comes from growing up around mainly women, I suppose. Obviously I don't often bother these days, unless there is at least one of them 'on the books' so to speak.

They love him :) ... Western men r seriously too paranoid about their masculinity. There is nothing wrong with 2 straight male friends holding hands. When you go to Africa, india, Middle East, South America, it's very common. In fact, even western men did it in 1900'S. But today, western men r so paranoid about their masculinity.

I see 2 straght female friends do it all the time . Why can't guys do it? If i was talking to you guys in person, I would have forced u guys to hold hands lol

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Yeah, usually I do. Though sometimes I just get this awkward grin on my face because I am so uncomfortable about being pressured in to reacting like a woman. To picture of a f*cking puppy. Which are three-a-f*cking-penny.

You're right though, it's just blue-pill residue. I am under no obligation to react whatsoever.

Be cold. Just give them a blank, cold stare, give them back the phone and get back to whatever you were doing. Even if what you were doing is something as mundane as sipping a drink.

No need for me to weigh in here but I will.

Agree and Amplify like PPRF said.

"Nice looking dog. What its name". Said like any other sentence.
