"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 know some of my neighbors rarely if ever leave the house or apartment. Maybe once a month or so. Granted they've always been more or less housebound from what I can tell. Others are leaving every day for work during the week.

I overheard someone in the store say he had only been out of his house/apt. 3x in the past month.

I'm self employed but get out most days of the week, if not every single day.
 

"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 try to take walks everyday and try to be in high visible places like the lake front trails or parks.
I'll do errands too and go to stores just to be moving.
Every weekend, I try to go to a new beach. I just picked up a windsurfer and a paddle board so that will be my routine for the rest of the summer on the weekends.
It's very eerily weird seeing empty hallways and entrances when I visit a couple of my plates like no one is living in their apartment complexes or condo units. But I know people are there but probably locked down like a hermit as I see several delivery packages in the doorway.
So I believe it when you heard that guy say he's only been out 3 times.

I guess those guys that are hunkered in their apartments is good for us since they are probably not moving and getting fat and not well groomed since lack of hair cut. Less competition...

The local recreational areas have been absolutely decimated in terms of usage. I'd say it's fallen off by 90%, and that's no exaggeration. Two months ago, they were absolutely packed pretty much any time of the day. Now, crickets.

I suppose I could rejoice that I have these rec areas to myself, but it's very strange seeing these places turn into ghost towns almost overnight.

What happened to the resistance that we were seeing prior to all of this negro lives matter nonsense? Why did people stop caring about their rights immediately after this idiotic distraction?

Damn that sucks. Looks like you gotta scope out new digs. There's going to be a good amount of like minded individuals like yourself. You just have to find out where they all congregate.
 

"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.

Easier to ask when I'm ever home.
Answer. About 5 times a week for 6-8 hours

During the start of Covid I was only going out to work. Now I go out everyday. Doing my best to pretend the world hasn’t gone mad, for as long as I can.
