"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.

How do you screen them?

"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.

Bed them at least a few times before making any rash decisions. Women change drastically after you've been sleeping with them for a little while. Usually for the worst.

It's kinda hard to screen them without spending time with them.

Gossip and Reputation help a bit, but just like us, you can't get to know a person by talking to someone else.

All you can really screen from afar is looks, body language, and other things that are worn on the sleeves.

I agree with WC2, chicks change ALOT after sex.

Who said from afar? This isn't some covert CIA sh*t.


I'm kind of hoping to screen them before sex. This is where I usually have a problem.
The bad & weird & crazy ones, are a little hard to get rid of after I get too close.

Like this one BPD chick this summer. She just could not get hints. Even when I was direct with her.
She's gone now, but it was a complete waste of time.
