"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 love anything written by Napolean Hill.

"Think and Grow Rich" is a goldmine!
 

"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.

On top of that, do you really want to piss off the girlfriend?

Girlfriend is not the same as a million dollar deal. If this gf goes away, I can get another one. But if this business goes away, can I get another million dollar deal that easily?

very true, but it is just another thing that will help make your life go easier and maybe I should have said, "Wife." She can take half your sh!t too if she wants to leave.

Well I will make sure I will get a wife who appreciates me not my money :p. There still are quality chiks out there.
 

"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.

Every chick is a gold digger*, it just matters to what degree.

* = everybody loves money but just to a certain degree.

Great book imo...one of the best lessons out of it..people absolutely hate criticism... absolutely hate it..especially women..

the line from the movie..."

just take away reason and accountablitly from a man and you have women."
