"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 work as a tower rigger. The pay is fantastic and I install and disassemble AM/FM/Cell towers of varying heights (100m - 300m, 300ft - 900ft). I get the best views in the world from 800 ft. Just got back from a job where we had to take a snowcat to the top of the mountain and remove an FM antenna that burned up.

The job was easy and only took us a couple of hours. Me and my buddy (whom I work with) brought our skis with us and we made (what we both believe) to be a first descent on skis of this mountain after the work was done. A snowcat ride to the top of a mountain, get a couple hundred feet up in the air, remove an antenna, and bag a first descent. All in a day's work!


Kind of a brag post I guess. Different towns and different women combined with these types of opportunities and great pay makes it damn near a dream job. This job owns...
 

"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.
