"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'm just disappointed...

The judge said that she has to remain private but the sleuths have already found her.
Yeah Megan Kelly talks about this A LOT and has been on the verge of disclosing her name.

She (MK) claims the media is allowed to do this and it's legal and that other publications such as the NY Times has done so in the past.

She believes it's VERY wrong that the defendants' names have been disclosed to the media and they are suffering the consequences but yet her name remains anonymous.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

I’ve heard about posts showing who she is being taken down. Sheesh, double standard.

Like the Epstein case. The victim's names were published but most of the accused names were swept under the rug. I thought that was disgusting when I saw that. It shows an obvious institutional bias.

Here's another one that happened just yesterday...mother stabs 3-year-old, 10-month-old, and husband:


It seems all are expected to survive, but is Lindsay Clancy some sort of beacon for these women to treat this as a contest? Do they want the same sympathy? Do they want their shot at a $1million GoFundMe?

I'm seeing street interviews where women are being asked which is doing more damage to women between Sydney Sweeney and Lindsay Clancy, and they're ALL choosing Sydney.

This is such a weird world we live in...and I don't remember it being this f***ed up pre-COVID, or when I was younger.

Your problem is you keep watching it. Which is exactly what they want.

Put it down and step away.
 

"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.

@BPH there have been several instances since the LC mistrial wherein mothers have killed or attempted to kill their children, using the postpartum depression excuse. So yeah I do believe the LC case has been a catalyst for these recent instances.

Many people believe if there had not been so much media coverage of the LC case, these recent instances of same wouid not have happened.

It's beyond weird, it's extremely disturbing and I have had to turn it off as @BackInTheGame78 suggested. The details of these cases including LC literally nauseates me. Postpartum depression or not.

I used to work in the legal field including criminal and recently watched a good portion of the trial of another national case, Casey Anthony who was accused of killing her two year old daughter Caylee.

She did it, no doubt, everyone knows it but she was found not guilty due to a brilliant defense brought by her attorney Jose Baez.

Very troubling indeed.

Back in The 2000s, The OGs around me were emphatic: "Avoid mixing booze and sex with women you've just met.... It's remarkably easy for a gal to claim r-pe afterwards". The barbarically forgotten Asa Baber counseled men similarly in his Playboy column during The 80s
There was a time there where if you had sex with a woman who had had a drink, you ran the risk of an accusation. Things are a little more sensible now. But the double standard where men had to take responsibility for drinking, and women didn't, was frustrating.

It's only going to get stranger. The question is, will the wave pattern be more linear or exponential?

While I can somewhat agree that I don't have to engage with it, I AM surrounded by people who do, and I DO have to engage with those people.

And I don't know what part of Europe you're in, but the UK isn't doing much better.

I genuinely wonder how this world would be different if COVID never happened and social media didn't become people's go-to news outlet...

I recently tried to help a person playing the same video game as myself overcome a particularly difficult encounter. I sent them a video to watch. They made a knee-jerk reaction based on the first few seconds, so I asked them if they watched the WHOLE video - which they told me they did not. That video was only 50 seconds long...and they couldn't be bothered to finish it.

People are reading a headline, doing none of their own research, then forming an opinion while demonizing the opposition. The fact that this is slowly becoming the majority is a scary thing to consider for the future.
I agree
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

The Cornell case riding with the Clavicular with similar things happening is what amuses me. Clown media keeps trying to go after men. Please do. Wake that beast up. You won't like angry men.

No. Finding the right woman is in the long term existential.



The only thing I can think of is just be a good judge of character.
Yes this !
