"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.

Hell, if you dont sort out self esteem issues, you sure are going to have a lot of fun trying to fix em.
Too bad the post this was in response to has mysteriously vanished.

Apparently advising someone to go to a foreign country where he is highly sought after and date a lot of girls for a few weeks is against the mangina code.
 

"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.

This is another one of those things where one size doesn't fit all.

Text/email are simply alternate forms of communication. It's HOW you use them that determines what comes of the situation.
True, but for me personally, I've found that text messaging and emailing women is a waste of time. I just don't have the patience for it, it seems to add another buffer, another level of game, wall to climb over..

I just don't see how attraction can be created or enhanced, through a medium that is completely void of any personality.

If I talk to a gal on the phone, my voice is unique, and when I see her in person...my presence is unique.

I have not yet found out a way to be "unique" via email or text message.

So, I boycott it. Intentionally. If a gal emails me, if I want to see her, I call. If a gal text messages me, I don't text back...I call.

Some women are simply used to communicating a certain way. It is often easier to get a response from a woman by utilizing these methods of communication. think David D. "Oh, BTW....do you have email?"

I agree, face to face contact is of utmost importance to building attraction.

However.....to categorically state that texting and email should NEVER be used doesn't account for all situations.
