"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.

Something i believe i have posted about before, but did not get a satisfactory response

Basically all we hear about is "dont tolerate this, dont tolerate that" but we never hear what exactly that means. How exactly do we go about doing that?

Context is very important. No contact is not always the answer. For example, you dont NEXT your long term girlfriend for ignoring one call. You dont cut off contact completely from someone who you have to meet every day/week,

What do we do during these different situations, and how do we judge for ourselves?

Attention is our currency, yes. But what exactly counts as attention? But does saying a polite hi to a girl you've nexted count as "attention"? When do we withdraw attention and how much?

Context, context context.

Feel free to discuss anything or any idea you have related to this topic

please be brutal/honest when necessary! I believe most people here are sick of sh!t from women, we just want to know how to respond without coming back to this forum everytime it happens
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I guess I have to give my boring, idealistic answer.

Communication is key. If a girl does something that makes you upset, she has to know it, not be ignored. She also is going to be annoyed if you seem like an ******* when telling her you're mad so think about 2 things.

1) Am I right? If I think about it logically, from my perspective, her perspective, and then from the point of someone outside it all, am I on the right side morally?

2) If she needs to have different behavior in the future, what does that change have to be? If she can't manage it, then the relationship isn't working and we break up. So what changes does she need to make to be a good partner? (That applies for LTRs, if shes a plate, you could give her a smaller portion of your time if she has behaviors that annoy you)

How do I communicate to her that I'm mad though. Not sure about that, it has to change by situation. But remember that in-person communication is 50 times more powerful than other kinds.

*that* = manipulation of any sort

but frankly 99.9% of men will be the wage slaves of women...women are simply too advanced in their social tactics of manipulations for simple minded men to grasp
