"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.

Hey fellas, I know this sounds corney but I think its a really good idea; I was wondering if you all could give me some ideas of different away messages to put up on my aim while im away from my work desk at night to arouse curiosity (and even interest in the form of jealousy!) For all the girls Im dating that I have on my buddy list to see and arouse curiosity and interest enough to IM me when im gone, or even create a competition atmosphere between them to ask me out on a date.

Any ideas welcome or examples
 

"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 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Dunno guys. Lot of people around me seem to be trying real hard to make their E-personalities shine with avtars and smartass away/normal status messages. To the point where I think just having the default message is cool.

Personally, i'd rather be a smartass in real life.

Women can smell BS a mile away. If you are really going out on dates with all these women I don't think you have to broadcast it. Women can smell a man who is desired by other women. Try being genuine and you might just attract a genuine woman.... using the default AWAY message should do just fine when you are away... just my 2 cents...

I think you need to get away from your computer for a while.

Screw the away message....

Have fun with your profile.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

very true. but if ur desperate for an away message:

I'm not here right now, so cry me a river, build me a bridge, and GET OVER IT.

Leave me a message and ill get back to you, leave me a sexy message and ill get back to you sooner

Too often we lose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles to frown, BUT, only takes 4 muscles to *****-slap that little **** upside the head. Pass it on

Hey, %n, can you do me a favor?
O.K. Follow these steps:
1. Look at your buddy list
2. Look at my screen name on your buddy list
Tell me, do you see the little yellow notepad by my name?
Yea?
Well, guess what it means... it means I'm not here, dumbass.

just a few that i use alot, though they are meant for my friends. I dont really care about the chicks n being funny, i got enuf in my profiel.

"out" is the best away message, what happened to trying to be a mystery???? If you've put your moves on a girl, and she sees "out" on your away message... she'll wonder, there's no need to spell every thing out.

You really should be focusing on other things. Having said that, I have several away messages. I even use one for when I'm taking a dump. Here it is:

"Yo, I'm taking a sh!t and there's nothing worse than someone trying to talk to you through the door when you're sh!tting. Don't bother me!"

For real.

The one I always use when I'm out doing whatever is:

"Out and about with Satan, the perfect gentleman."
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
