"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.

Should I get professional pictures done? I'm not saying green screen photos with me looking super cheesy but just have a professional photographer take some nice quality but natural pics of me. I feel like I look horrible in pictures in real life (I look much much better in videos) so maybe a professional can bring out how I look in real life to pics?? I'm leaning this way because I am very picky and I rarely meet anybody I want...on top of that, those women are rarely single and in a situation where there are not 100,000 obstacles in the way. With online dating, I can at least filter out all the nonsense (single moms, smokers, etc...)

Do I put my income on there? I've heard guys making 150K+ are hugely attractive on dating sites. I don't want to meet a gold digger but I understand why that would be very attractive to a woman making say 80K herself - she wants to find someone very successful.

Thoughts on this? You guys all know what my standards are and you've seen pics of me. What's my realistic chance of finding what I want online?

"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.

I'm looking for a relationship

I can easily get a fat girl or a 35 year old, but I've already had that multiple times and it didn't help my development at all for finding what I really want (which is a cute, classy and genuinely wonderful 23-28 year old). What's the point of entertaining that?

Fvck those and let them give you head till you get where you want to be. Then don't be so superficial because alot of those "fat" girls have alot more to offer than a skinny one because they have to. They'll make good friends and will go into their purses for you. I'm about to focus on player supreme method god bless him. He really was trying to help men in the face of escalating feminism and betaization of males.

don't care about casual sex, I want a girlfriend
didn't I just tell you I've had sex with multiple women who are too chunky or attractive but too old and didn't help me at all with my development?

go in their purse? dude you think I'm gonna let some broad making 1/6th my income pay for my food or drinks? You insane

also I'm not interested in fat or skinny, I'm looking for fitness types who still have nice thick ass and legs.
 

"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.

Why don't you try speed-dating instead?

"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.

OP the point of attracting women and working with ones who aren't quite your "ideal"

is that when your ideal does come along you have built confidence and charisma plus command respect

Because currently you are in no way ready to deal with this ideal woman

Toys will fly out your pram on the first sign of a test, and you will be dumped

I know a lot of people knock tinder, bumble, online dating, etc. but if you, OP, put the right type of pics up you'd clean up. You're a handsome guy. I think your interpersonal skills are sh*t and you clearly don't know how to communicate/talk to women in a way that builds attraction/comfort but I think that can all be corrected once you see women showing interest.

1. You need a pic or two of you smiling with other people, preferably one of you with friends and another with a woman or two.

2. A pic or two of you taking a selfie like the one you posted on here the other day where you are dressed in some nice clothes.

3. One of you at the gym with a muscle shirt, just something where they can see your arms, chest, etc.

Now, you'll get a lot of attention. Again, you're a good looking dude. You know that. Your issue will be banter and just acting normal enough to get these women to meet up with you. That can all be learned and improved upon.

Also cut the "I have high standards" horsesh*t. It's obvious at this point that's a cover up on your part for inexperience.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

My old friends said they have high standards and all girls around are ugly. They are still virgins at 23 lul

U need 2 check urself with a medical specialist and find out if u hv Asperger Syndrome.

It's a very mild form of autism which inhibits ur ability to have a normal social interaction.

Which explains why after threads upon threads of advice u r still stuck in a loop.

Aspergers or mild autism is definitely a good shout.
