"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 it just me or are most girls really just.... average"?

I find myself becoming a lot pickier with women and I think it's making me rather unhappy. It just seems as if I'm beginning to notice physical flaws with 99% of women which I never would of knew existed before. It really starts to chip away at the illusion about all women being perfect which society tries to instill in us from a very young age. The attitudes these plain Jane's carry themselves with doesn't help their cause very much either. Anyways this really got me thinking http://heartiste.wordpress.com/2012/10/17/how-to-inure-yourself-to-beautiful-women/
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

It is good for a man to have standards. You only live one life.

If there really are no women that meet your standards where you live, move.

If all else fails, move to Europe.

Negative thoughts down the drain just relax, let t
Sort of agree with you sort of don't

But it doesn't sound like you're obsessing over it in an unhealthy way ! That's when I think it becomes bad.

I think if you talk to enough people and definitely if you talk to enough girls, you notice similarlarities and yeah, maybe you start thinking they're average.

Just don't obsess over it, my opinion.

So you're talking about rejecting the idea that "girls are perfect", immaculate, innocent, angles etc etc ll that stuff I definitely agree with that Cquenced !!

When I learned how to really communicate with girls I found some of them were dirtier than my guy friends

I have found this to be quite true. I also fine that average chicks who treat you well and aren't so self-absorbed become prettier as time goes on, while the fine chicks who act like idiots or treat you bad suddenly don't look so good.

Use this knowledge in a positive way.

You also have physical flaws, as well as your own emotional baggage from past experiences in life. We all realize sooner or later that the Photoshopped women in Playboy and Penthouse do not exist in real life. And even if they did, most of us would have zero chance with them anyway -- especially long-term, as you'd have to shield her from other dudes until the day one of you died.

Nature has a way of bringing together birds of a feather... As I got older and started to understand the laws of natural attraction (and began to see it happen before my very eyes), I no longer worried about what the HB9 princesses and gold diggers thought of me. Sure, I'd look at them and admire their superficial beauty, but couldn't care less about hooking up with one. The end result of taking that uphill princess path, a week, month, or years later will inevitably end in disaster. And it'll cost ya dearly.

Contrary to much of what I've read here (especially regarding the whole online fiasco we now must endure), I still find HB7s and 7 1/2s being attracted to me in the real world. If I'm honest with myself, that's probably what I am too. And I find that range of women VERY attractive personally.... They are probably 7s or 7 1/2 based on general standards, but personally, I'd rate them much higher because of my specific tastes.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Bingo. Great minds think alike, right Harry? :D
