"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.

This whole good-looking thing is an excuse for your laziness, and your ego getting the best of you and your self-esteem...all jumbled together. I was there only a short while ago...Snap out of it guys, and get out in the field. Don't ever expect anything to just fall in your lap. Make things happen.
I totally agree. It's laziness and insecurity most of the time.

On the other hand, game is sort of different for different type of guys. And good looking guys are disorientated because HB6s hit on them all the time but HB9s seem uneffected. And you add some envy from other guys and some frustration from girls and you have a pretty difficult situation. So dont blame them.
 

"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.

Stop with this I'm too good-looking thing.

It's YOUR problem. If they really thought you were attractive they would hit on you or at least make it REALLY REALLY obvious they are attracted whether they do it on purpose or not.

If they do neither they DO NOT like you and YOU are ugly. Your brainwashing yourself into thinking otherwise.

Your probally just around average and if your a cool guy and get em horny it won't matter.

Good looks protrays some social value, which is valuable. Obviously.

Who do you think a girl will pick if its a choice between a guy with no social proof or value? The better looking guy.

Of course, thats why you portray your personality!

Anyone who thinks looks don't matter, obviously doesn't know women. Looks matter, just not as much as you think. Social proof is much more valuable...
