"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'm selling my dad's old car. The thing has a fair amount of rust, but the engine is still good. I posted it on a buy & sell site for $300. I've had all kinds of people trying to rip me off and 5hit. I went through this when I sold my old vehicle too. I've sold all kinds of 5hit online before and expect the normal flakes and low-ballers, but I've discovered that selling a vehicle is a royal fvcking pain in the arse.

I got this message today:

==========================

Her: Hi there I was inquiring as to what would be the lowest possible u would take for your car? I'm a single mom of two in need of a vehicle for medical purposes and can't afford much at all.... thank goodness my gentleman friend is a mechanic

Me: $300 is the lowest

Her: Ok you are firm on the price on your ad

Me Yes, I"m a single dad of one and could really use the money

Her: Ok I understand fully

===========================

Talk about entitlement for being a wh0re! Gotta love her orbiter mechanic. Too bad she's not taking pity on me for being a single dad and scraping up my 300 bucks :(
 

"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.

If it's worth $300, it's worth $400. List it for $400 and let them haggle you to $300. Problem solved. Never list the lowest you'll accept.
