"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.

If a woman tells you "man up" or "pathetic", congratulations, you have the upper hand

Gents, I know you've all heard the following before at least once:

"Man up"
"pathetic"


Why do women say this?

It's because she's trying to get you to conform to some sort of expectation that she has for you. She's trying to attack your ego. She thinks you'll try to defend your ego by "proving her wrong" and doing whatever it is she wants you to do....

But the underlying motivation of why she's trying to get you to conform to her expectation is that she's dependent on you. Which means she has very few other viable options. Which means you have the upper hand....

Let's think about this logically: would Stacy even waste her breath to say "man up" or would she just walk out and find herself another Chad?

I think we can all agree that a certified Stacy will just walk out in an instant - if you don't meet her standard she can easily find a Chad that will.

Stacy has options. A single mom doesn't.....

BTW, have you also noticed that the #1 demographic of women who post open letters telling men to "man up" are single moms who are up to their eyeballs in debt....????....

This fact alone should convince you that a woman that says "man up" is a low quality woman.

Since you have the upper hand in this situation, the appropriate response is to drop her immediately. Walk out. Delete her number. Don't respond to her text.

In fact, if she repeatedly texts you, that means she's REALLY desperate.

If you find that you do want to continue the relationship you can use this opportunity to judo-flip the situation on her and get her to "woman up"....
 

"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.

Man, what the **** is up with you guys that a woman even tells you something like this? This kind of notion can't even fit in my mind. and I can never imagine any woman ever saying this to me for any reason.

Can’t imagine it happening to an adult male unless he was still mentally stuck in childhood …

"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.
