"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 was just wondering how you guys in a convo, remind girls that you're talking to 5 other girls and she's not the only one in your life. I talk to a lot of girls but I've been having a problem with oneism.. And I'm trying to get off it and make girls fight for my attention instead of vice versa... Thoughts?
 

"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.

What actually happens when you 'go for 5 other girls' isn't that girls see you talk to other girls, and that you subtly tell them that you have options. What Happens is that you change. You become more at ease, you can talk to a girl much more easily, you're more confident and non outcome-dependant. In other words, it makes you much more attractive to women.
However, when you should take it further than 'talking' to five other girls.

Don't. Your trying to validate your worth to her which will come off as insecure. When your a guy who has options they know, they can sense it. When your with one of the 5 girls the other 4 don't exist until your spending your time with one of them. Talking to the 5 other girls will just make you less needy/clingy and she'll sense your lack of a need for her in your life.

In my opinion, the WORST thing you can do is remind a woman that you're seeing other women.
Well there is no harm in the woman knowing you're seeing other women, in fact it will probably work in your favour as long as you arent a sleaze about it. Instead of talking about it, just be it.

It's irrelevant. You don't need to tell a girl you have "options". That's not what should make her feel attraction towards you.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
