Those are not accurate at all, in Russia men outnumber women
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.

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
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.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
DING DING DING this is something I learned right away being on this site within my first year (2009) if you have a social circle where the average guy makes 6 to 7 figures and in a great location (penthouse, condo in the best part of the city) women will be there left and right. Social circle is so underrated and a lot of guys are missing out on that. Even if you're an older guy a great social circle can funnel women for you if you play it rightPart of the problem is that men have worse social skills than women on average. Men with worse social skills typically tend to seek women on the swipe apps (and from 2000-2012, dating websites) because they don't have a social circle capable of producing dates and don't have the guts to cold approach in non-bar venues (where better ratios in person exist). The websites/swipe apps have even worse ratios than the metro areas at large. So men tend to think that everything is a sausage fest. While ratios as a whole are getting worse, the ratios on swipe apps skew one's perspective even more negatively.
