"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 Guys,

For all those who can't follow through with the 3 second rule - maybe you disagree with it, too shy, etc, don't worry.

I've been submitting questions to an online question site and it's quite interesting. Every woman who responded to my 3 second rule pretty much said that the guy is desperate and to them creepy. Personally, I think the 3 second rule should be used to show 'interest' ie. long-distance flirt, eye contact, smile, you get the drift. Then if you get a bite, move in.
 

"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.

First of all, you're missing the point.

The 3-second rule accomplishes 2 things:

1-You don't have time for your BS mind chatter to to talk you out of approaching.

2-If you get EC and don't approach her within 3 seconds, you're in danger zone. You appear stalkerish. Don't ask women for advice on this, trust me.

You don't need EC to approach a girl.

Yes - don't waste your time with any advise from women. It is useless.

Magnatolia,

Talk from experiences.

Hypotheticals are a waste of time.

A girl told me that she'd sleep with any guy who approached her and produced, in one hand, a yo-yo and the other, a condom.

It must work. I haven't tried it though.

I recomend all of you try it.

Being a keyboard jockey and realing off womens advice is an exellent pastime.

P.S. I'm trying to keep sarcasm to a minimum. Sometimes its unavoidable.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

The 3-second rule is just there for you to force yourself to approach when you're starting out. It's not live-or-die-by. If you followed it religiously in a crowded room or at a party I'm sure you'd creep a hell of a lot of ladies out anyhow.
