"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 were to write a girl a check, which type of bank should it be?

Today I went to some products store for skin cream. The lady actually had me sit with her 1 on 1 and she tried a free sample around my eye.

But how much did it cost. $500. They'll say it costs $1000 but there is a discount today 50% off and you can get this 2nd product and another gift for free.

So, I didn't want the product. Eventually left... But I'm thinking maybe I should have taken out a checkbook and offer to write her a check, for, say $100, for this nice service.

I wouldn't ask her for her name. I would write a check for $100, sign it, and say you can just write your name on it...

So, my question is, if you were to write a woman a check (for whatever reason), should the check be from a bank like

1: like Chase bank, where the savings rate is .01%.
2: like Capital 1 or Marcus by Goldman-Sachs, where the interest rate is 4.35% or 4.4%.

Which bank sounds more attractive?

#1 are really big banks, #2 are more medium-sized banks that offer HYSA (high-yield savings account).
 

"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.

Not a sperm bank, especially if you've been exclusive with this broad for a few minutes or more. Our courts have an unsettling habit of deeming men liable for kids we didn't ourselves sire, just because some floozy thinks we need to throw a few bucks her way

This sounds like a new method of pick up, the tester sample... Bro, get a small bottle of face cream and try asking some women if you can put it on their face
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

What was the name of the poster that thought he was a messiah and wanted to start a religion? Kind of feels the same…
