"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 would really appreciate it if you guys helped me destroy my bad traits. I tried one of the self improvement threads and they told me to list my faults so i will and i'd like your guy's advice on how to get rid of them.

Faults/Bad things about Rint:
-People find me annoying cause i talk too much
-My only really good jokes are peverted this is from a friend of mine who told me this
-I'm not confident enough
-I say the wrong thing often without knowing it
-I'm sensative
-I dont know what to say alot
-I have no courage
-I lack people skills
-People think i'm weird

Things i need help improving:
-Humor i want to be funny not just peverted funny
-Being cool
-Being respected by everyone
-Building rapport with people
-Being a man
-Changing my bad rep to a good one

I'd appreciate some threads or advice or maybe a good kick in the ass
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

the only trait you listed that can be changed through influence of this thread is the whole talking too much/saying wrong thing and that..

think before you speak..it's simple..don't be so damn impulsive..all inteligent people brainstorm what they will say before they say it..predict the people's reaction before you say it..

the other stuff, you have to do field work..trial and error...no text in this thread will help you with that..may give you some basic guidelines or whatever, but you just have to work at it in the field....

Don't focus on being just a player. To fix all those problems you just need to improve yourself overall (which will indirectly help you be a player anyways)

Honestly, you've got a long road ahead of you. You're not going to fix all these things overnight.
 

"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.
