"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 also have a problem having sex with girls because im scared of STD's and stuff. When it comes down to doing it, I just say forget it cause i weigh the risks and say its not worth it. Should i be like this?
Dude I'm in the same boat. I was about 2 seconds away from entering a girl for the first time without a condom and I chickened out because of STD's. I went a put the condom on but couldn't get it going after that. Don't know if I made the right decision.
 

"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.

Hi, just to clarify, you can't get genital herpes from a handshake. Secondly there are two types of herpes, simplex 1 and simplex 2.

simplex one is cold sores on the mouth, simplex 2 is genital.

Genital Herpes can be transferred even with condom use and can effect anywhere in the "boxer shorts" area.

If this wasn't true, I probably wouldn't be a virgin.
Through my High School life, I got through most of the endless talk of how "sex will kill you" our teachers bombarded us with by rationalising that if I used a condom then I'd be okay.
The announcement of the fact quoted above finally cornered me, and to this day it is to me as AFCism is to most guys my age; the primary barrier to sexual success.

I think many people are even misinterpreting what it means to be a don juan.. being a DJ doesnt mean just fvcking girls.. I think it means just being a ladies man in general and getting quality over quantity. Anyone can get quantity, but its quality that is the real challenge.

Thus, fvcking girls in general is not really the accomplishment, its fvcking quality girls (possibly good girls in the process) that makes it a good f*ck.

correct me if im wrong?

You're right. Not only that, but fvcking every girl you can will not necessarily make you look like DJ, but instead a creep. If you're just trying to do that then your value will decrease since you don't have standards and you're not that hard to get after all. Fvck hot girls and your social proof (value) will go through the roof.
 

"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 look for the perfect girl, so I like your approach. Seriously, some guys have to have standards. But you cant look for that perfect girl that doesnt have flaws, because chances are she may just be in your head.

I too am scared of getting STDs. Just dont do any penetration than. Nothing that can give you an STD. Even wearing a condom can still give you STDs because certain diseases can get around that.

you can get a genital infection from simplex 1 and you can get an oral infection from simplex 2. the name of the virus doesn't limit the infection area. you can go down on a girl and end up with cold sores on your mouth

and it's improbable to get the virus from a handshake but biologically it's still possible. I was trying to use a ridiculous example to show there's a ton of things you can worry about if you take them out of context

all that perfect girl I have standards and you don't talk is just rationalizations. if you can't escalate, you lack a lot of the reference experience needed to flesh out those standards. you'd be surprised how much a woman's perception of you can change once you've had sex with her

you are right. they used to classify 1 as mouth and 2 as genital until they learned more about it. now its classified more as 1 not as severe, 2 more severe, oral on mouth, genital below the waist.

i know a girl that has herpes in her eye and that is called octualar herpes (misspelled) and she gets it on her nose which has no actual name.

Somebody look it up, but I believe over 95% of the population has herpes. No joke.
 

"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.
