"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.

Long story short it was a public event to discuss a topic, basically they gave us few bottles of cheap wine for all and low amounts of junk food, some kind of appetizer we may say.

Then the bill came at 15 euros each, I didnt drink anything nor ate since Im trying to stay in shape.

They probably spent 2-3 euros to provide the goods, 7 euros gain for the place and 5 for the organizers.

So I decided that I was not goint to be robbed, I mean I would have dropped a fair price for what we got, lets say 5 euros even not consuming anything available but 15 euros...for **** sake I can get a dinner for that.

I just dressed up and left the place as everything was fine.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Land of slow.
I once walked into a pac sun. Clothing store and they gave me four boxes of C4 pre workout. The best perks for getting the girl at the front desk liking you is getting free stuff. Not too off topic here.

When I was very young I was with my dad and his buddies in this truck stop diner.

We had just arrived in town that afternoon for a hunting trip, and were staying at a nearby motel.

All the adults were grumbling about how crappy and slow the service was, so we left without paying.

I thought it was awesome. I felt like a criminal. We even had a bunch of guns back in the motel.

But then one of them went and paid the next morning.

That was my first experience of dining and dashing.

I knew a dweeb once that dined out with two of his male ‘friends’. After dinner they used the restroom excuse to ditch him and he got stuck with the bill.
Do not be either kind of man. Pay for what you consume whether it’s good or bad, learn a lesson, don’t expect others to pay, and register any service displeasure in the tip amount.

Off-topic:

When i was younger, females used to always give me free food. Actually it happened again last Tuesday, but it was more complimentary for the bad service i had experienced beforehand.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

So fvck good for you! Wtf you are nervous about?

I'm here wondering what age I look and can say that I am, I don't know, I'm 36, may I say I am 27? Because I like young girls, 17 and like that, and they get freaked out when I say I'm 36. One 18 year old even said she won't merry me cuz I'm old! It's discrimination at its finest.
