"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 look f*ckin hot in a suit.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
"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.
why wouldn't you, just because people are gonna hate you for it?Stéphane said:
I live in fvcking Iowa, where people wear farmer shirts, old jeans and tennis shoes.
If you want to live an exceptional life and attract exceptional women you have to dress and behave exceptionally well...
How old are you btw?
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Yeah peeeeiiimmppp. Thats what I'm talkin about.ChrizZ said:
Stephane, you don't always gotta wear a SUIT.
Try, nice jeans, nice shoes, button up (or good looking tee, but not as fancy), and expensive sports jacket.
Now I say expensive because (**** what those hippies say) the difference between a $50 sports jacket and a $300 sports jacket is tremendous. You'll only need a couple (black, blue, white (if you really want), its the undershirts you'll want a lot of. It's good to have collered shirts of all colors, styles (striped, textured, patterns, etc.)
Ties are an extra thing, not needed, but can be pulled off.
ChrizZ, you can pull off a full suit in a club? Right on, brotha. Me, I'd go with the nice jeans, nice button up (no tie) or cool teeshirt look.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I saw the trailer of "mean streets" (mob movie that introduced the world to young Robert De Niro) and I noticed the way the guys dressed there to hang out (sports coats, suits) and I really liked the look of Tony (hes in the trailer wearing the brown sports coat with black shirt) so I went to the store and got me a brown sports coat just like his (my first sports coat)
It definitely gets me noticed and I feel respect from women. I also feel a bit of jealousy as people look at me overdressed. I don't have chri's problem over here there are tons of hippis everywhere and I had read that they hate on anyone that they feel that looks like a "yuppy" (anyone that dresses decent pretty much). The important thing is you can feel that you are being hated by the haters, you can notice people giving you strange looks, but the one thing you know for sure is that sharp dressed men command respect from people (specially women). A sharp dressed man shows he means business in the eyes of people, even in the eyes of haters.
The more haters you have, the more it shows that you are on the right path.Joe The Homophobe said:I bought my first sports coat like 3 weeks ago and now I refuse to go out of the house without one! I went back 2 days later to get another one. Now I got 3 and am waiting for a paycheck to get me a suit (the jacket + matching pants).

Chumps will always try to drag down the person that stands out from the crowd.
That's why I always fly solo.
Chumps hate me, women love me.
You have to realize that 99% of the people out there are sheep and too afraid to go against the crowd because they are scared of criticism...

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
