"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 not gonna try to write up a story behind this, so here's my tip: Have the mindset that you're in a 3rd world country where only the strong survive. The weak don't even get a chance to languish, they die of starvation or are killed. Viewing life as a competition can be motivation to be more sucessful. Fear is what holds all of us back. You're afraid to do what yo know will help. If you refuse to accept compromise, equating it with death, then you'll be more likely to take that first step and wind up somewhere better than the place you're at now.

Uh, third world countries are not exactly where people are starving to death. Many have Starbucks and Ferrari dealerships with large middle class populations. Your biggest concern would be what mall or cafe had the better wifi connection.

Maybe if you linked this story to The Blue Lagoon or something. The stud in that movie had to use his hands and s--- to catch fish so that Em could have something to eat.

WTF is your idea of a third world country?
 

"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.

Couple of pretty funny responses. Whatever the hell a 3rd world country is officially as, life is a whole hell of a lot harder in one. Here in America anyone can get a free lunch. ****, just panhandling can get you enough $$$ for decent food and shelter in some places. It's too easy and tempting to stop swimming with the flow and sink, because the worst that'll happen is you become unhappy.
 

"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 dont pretend to live in a third world country. Because I do! :p
I have two awesome cars. I live in a big house. The streets are busier than the LA freeways.And honestly, this place isnt ruled "the law of the Jungle". Even though we're in the World top 10 of crime rate, and I dont think a gang is going to force it's way into my house and steal my food and things. Go figure.

Exactly my point! Funny how the countries that are supposed to be so poor always make me feel poorer than the supposed wealthy countries. What the idiots who never leaves America fail to understand is that they would probably have a much better life if they were living in one of the "3rd world countries".

Here are pictures from THE classic third world country of Brazil.

And some video. Wow, I am so scared. I'm wondering if such a large crowd will screw up my chances of getting clean wifi reception. And that blonde girl looks just soooo 3rd world. I am going to need to start lifting some heavy weights to make it in the 3rd world. :box:
