"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 you dont use our service, it will force your girlfriend to cheat on you"

"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 think you may be a tad bit over sensitive in this case.

What if the man and the woman were reversed? Would you be thinking how wrong the man is or thinking "good for him"?

As for amorality, amorality is part of the natural order of things. A lion doesn't think about the morality or immorality of killing a gazelle. If he did, he'd go hungry while having a philosophical debate.

The concepts of what is moral and immoral are just societal constructs.

^^ true statement.

and unflushables, societal constructs keep us from doing a lot of stupid things that might happen if we merely followed our animal instincts. after all, that ability to HAVE that philosophical conversation is what separates us from them.

bonobo monkeys, which are 98% genetically identical to humans, have ridiculous amounts of sex with each other, all day, every day. by your logic, we should be doing the same thing because society can't come up with any kind of limitations that are worth anything...

while i know this ad was supposedly made "in good fun," i just cant help but get a little upset about it. that ad, in addition to the corona ad campaign where the woman makes the man look like a chump on the beach (i can find links if you want) are brainwashing people like my twelve year old brother to think that this sort of behavior is the norm, when in reality we should expect better of our women!

Meh, I still think that when people do so called "moral" deeds they are doing it with selfish motives. For example, someone who volunteers in a soup kitchen. Yeah, outwardly they are doing a good thing, but if they even have a brief feeling of satisfaction it becomes selfish motivation because they are doing it to feel good.

As for "brain washing" that can be said about anything. If your brother was constantly bombarded by Barney Stinson type characters you'd see his behavioral patterns change. Be a good role model to your brother and teach him to be a strong male and to not let popular media effect or guide his life choices.
 

"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.

am i becoming overly sensitive?
So a commercial = women in today's society? You realize that commercials are fiction?

Although I have to say that I will never use Kayak because of this commercial.

I saw it today and I felt a slight movement in my pants at the sight of the beautiful woman.
