"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.

Is Hollywood objectifying teenage women for the benefit of older men?

I was reading this article about a chick named Taylor Momsen

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/brent-bozell/2010/12/18/bozell-column-exploiting-teen-temptress

First off, she might be 17, but she's smoking, so maybe the author has a point. :yes: (NOTE: do a search for her videos on YouTube.)

But it does being up an interesting social question. The fact is that I would much rather see sexually suggestive barely legal acting very suggestively then the cougars on "Desperate Housewives", even though society says that I should only get sexual excitement from women my own age.

It seems to me that the young virgin maiden is basically the only desired sexual object for all societies, except for socially advanced" societies of the West, in which almost the opposite seems to be true - i.e., that an older man desiring such a virgin maiden is looked upon as a shamed, perverted loser. Perhaps there is a great desire in the male population for entertainment that portrays such young maidens as sexually available for older men, which is why this chick is popular. I suppose porno would also qualify, but that lays bare any notion that the woman is still a virgin.
 

"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.

And just last night I was watching "To Catch a Predator".

Unfortunately, I'm in the camp that doesn't feel attracted to most women over 35 nor women under 21. Or wait, is that fortunately?

Sam, your treading close to the line. You know the line that is the truth and then people start calling you names. If there were more chics on this forum you would have been branded for those statements. Let me just say this, my daughter watches nick and disney channel and some of those girls on there look and dress like grown women (and some of them are played by grown women which also blurs the line). I usually just leave the room or try not to pay attention to it.
