"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.

ok.im overweight.not obses,but fat.i finally started losing weight earlier this summer.i want to get down to at least 170.so,my question is,how much does weight affect your success with the ladies? i mean,fat,skinny,built,husky,etc,we all want to get with hot chicks.or at the least pretty chicks.so,aside from trying to lose weight,what can i do to be able to attract pretty girls? i mean,with all this talk of looks on the board,lets be honest.hot girls go for hot guys mostly.it seems even average looking or kinda ok looking,or even straight up ugly girls still go for the attractive guy.right?
 

"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.

A lot.
I went from around 264lbs (120kg) to 209lbs (95kg) and the dealing with women is noticeably easier, the success is better etc. It's a very, very important factor. I'm looking to lose 22lbs (10kg) more to be lean. I used to be that guy when you looked at him and well, you knew he was fat. Now I'm regular, maybe a bit on the strong side but I'm going to lose 10kg in fat until new years or even more.

Most of the noticable differences are in the head. As you lose weight,bulk up or whatever you are shotting for comes closer and closer to completion you confidence shoots up.

Don't get me wrong it helps to be average over obese,or muscular over skinny.

I'm overweight too I'm kind of stocky like george constanza, but i'm solid though so if a girl touches me she won't feel the fat she'll feel the muscle.But Don't feel bad though if you work at a demanding job you'll start to lose weight quickly, without trying.

I'm the complete opposit. I'm much too light (5'7 at 135 lb.). I'm going back to weight lifting to build some muscle mass.
Psychologically it has effected me much. It always make me feel bad about my appearance. I constantly feel self concious when going out.

I went from 260 down to 175, and than built up to 210 which I'm at now. Confidence has shot through the roof. The road is rough but well worth it in the end. If you have the will power than anything is possible.

I was at 294 3 months ago, and it did affect me in a very very big way, mainly with self worth and courage.

Im now at 253, and hoping to be at 220 by christmas, and altho im far from an acceptable weight, im beginning to notice a girl checking me out from time to time , and confidence levels are skyrocketing.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
