"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.

Last night I was told that although I don't mean to, at some points I can be ****y and even arrogant. Now of course I didnt realize this but considering it was a friend I took it to heart and am trying to work on changing it. How can you prevent this, or how can I change it. My close friends know I'm neither of those things and I am a joking person, not necessarily serious. He said I need to smile more and lighten up. I have a hard time having fun lately, and just being myself. I think in trying to grow to Alpha I have lost track. I'd really appreciate some solid answers.

Thanks-
jake
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Sometimes I'm not comfortable in certain situations, even though I know that people love the real me. I'm a fun person but lately have a hard time being comfortable enough to show it. My confidence is down considering I broke up with a girl of over a year and haven't had time to go to the gym with courses and pledge for a fraternity. It was my pledge brothers that said I can be arrogant and ****y, they're looking out for me. Sometimes I get compliments about my looks, and I'd like to think I'm humble but maybe they subconciously go to my head. I don't think I'm ****y, and I think that my tendency for being shy or serious lately is making it seem arrogant/****y. I know that humbling myself is a start, but I'm more worried about being my fun self again honestly.
