"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.
Kanye West is an ass.

"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.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Konjay West proves to me why I can't listen to rap music and forget that it's actually music that sells rather than just a joke.

Re: Amen brother
lets clear a few things up first
1) youre an idiot
2) I was born here
3) my parents are naturalized citizens
4) Nothing holds an iranian back. we go for the best. we become doctors, lawyers, plastic surgeons, and businessmen.
5) Those that live in iran are the more pro-american than arabs and even europeans.
now, im not hating on blacks, but I hate the way that most, NOT ALL, dont want to rise up beyond their current status because they dont want to be seen as "sellouts" or "acting white"
Dont make such an idiotic response to such a truthful statement
hahaha. that was by far the dumbest thing i have ever heard.

Yup. I've met 2 Iranians that came here after the revolution and they both kicked ass and were very pro-American and hard workers.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Well you guys knew you couldn't have a race debate without my white ass chirping in.
Kanye West is a fvcking idiot. Millions of white, black people, people of all colors are pouring millions of dollars into charitable relief for those poor people in New Orleans. He's nothing but a pvnk ass trying to gain acceptance by the ignorant black rap crowd.
Imagine some white dude saying. "Everybody's feeling sorry for these poor black people in New Orleans. I think the government and the public is favoring blacks, and hates white people"
That person would be figuratively hung out to dry. But let a black rapper like west say it, and he's some kind of hero, and has white liberals kissing his ass while he's denegrating the white race.
I find it amazing that people are complaining about racism, when these fvcking thugs are shooting at the very people trying to bring them relief.....FVCKING IDIOTS. The police finally fought back, and blew their asses away.
I also wanted to mention how I love how some of these black guys talk about how they have to work twice as hard to get ahead because "whitey" is keeping them down. Under represented minorities gain access to higher education with lower standards than better qualified whites. That's a fact...how is that working twice as hard? Acceptance into universities should be based on merit, and qualifications period.
Trying to convince some people that racism comes in all colors, and not just white seems like an exercise in futility. As long as Americans are overly concerned with being politically correct, and not right, this will continue.
God bless ALL the people affected by Hurricane Katrina, whatever color they may be. The government was slow in acting, but it had nothing to do with race.
I'm proud to be white, just like the other posters claimed they were proud to be black. We're all Americans, and we're all equal.
P.S. When those idiots in Texas dragged that black man behind a pick up truck, it was truly an awful and disgraceful thing to do. The media coverage for that incident was world wide,
When the Wichita massacre occurred, there was certainly NO national coverage, and even limited local coverage. They weren't even charged with a hate crime!!!!!!!!!!!
What does that tell you?

I've been saying this all along! Black entertainers seem to get the go ahead from society and the media, to vent their racial rants and everybody just smiles, turns their back, and supports them. Look at Kanye; he was rewarded with the number 1 selling album this week!
Wil Smith, Lauren Hill, Russell Simmons, Chris Rock etc have all publicly made racial comments towards whites, and nobody says a word. Their careers seem to flourish and their white fan base seems to grow. The double standard just doesn't make sense to me.
If you make a racial comment and your white, kiss your career goodbye!

I don't really believe this, the pusedo-racisim that you detect in blacks is normally a reaction to 400 years of oppresion. If I step on your foot and you say "ouch please get off my foot" that is not racisim, rather a reaction to an outside stimulas.
Most whites confuse this reaction with racisim. And they use it to diffuse and abrogate their own racist concious. Nevertheless, I don't believe that all whites are racist just 99%.
Conversly, I believe that there is a slight margin of blacks perhaps 1% that are also racist as well. Of course it's a free world and you are entitled to your own opinion (but not your own facts), I just don't buy it. The katrina situation is about alot of things non-the least of which is race.
Yes, and quite a few use the money that they make of of these "white collor" professions to support terriost groups.

Sorry my Caucasian brethren... I want to feel bad for you, I really, really do.
But... in this country your are still (even if you combine all of the minorities in terms of population) the majority and as long as that continues to be the case... Kanye, Will, Chris, and every other Asian, Latin, and Black person will be able to spout racist comments and people will laugh and applaud.
And as long as I'm black... old Caucasian women will still feel the need to clutch their purses, no matter what I'm wearing (I've seen women do it when I'm in a suit).
Bottom line: Life's tough... get a helmet. .

Well, I was more referring to the poster above you, and since you used his quote, I assumed that you may share the same skin.
Pardon, if I am incorrect.
And by the way, I did not say it was okay, because it isn't... just like a woman clutching her purse when I come around isn't that great either. What I am saying however, is that it will not change, just like that woman, so we all may as well get over it.

See why it's not a good idea to speculate!
I will agree with you, walking by someone and having them clutch their purse is both insulting and embarassing. But having someone publicly yell racist rants is just plain wrong!

I didn't say it was right, it is wrong... though funny a lot of the times (Come on... Chris Rock is a funny mother****er). And if Caucasian people said **** like that, it would be a totally different story. However, it's not like this is something that's going to change... at least in our generation.
I guess I do not really get bent out of shape over things anymore because I've been a victim of racism first hand on a number of occasions (the woman is just a minor example).
We just have to move beyond the ignorance instead of crying about it.

"George Bush dosn't care about black people"- this is a true statement, but its not just black people George Bush does not care about, look at the lady who hung out outside of his ranch for two weeks because her son died in Iraq and Bush decided to take a vacation.
I belive kanye's statement is true, but you can also add, that George Bush does not care about the american people

“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.
