"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.

We have all heard, "Ah, she is out of my league comments,"

I was really attracted to this girl, but she was out of my league.

Don't even bother going after this girl, you are not nearly as good-looking.

Etc, Etc. We have all heard these comments going around in our own heads and elsewhere.

HOWEVER, Like me, I am sure you have seen the following:


1.) Short men who were just average looking with an attractive woman on their arm.

2.) Overweight men with an attractive woman

3.) Men who are bald or balding with an attractive woman on their arm

4.) Men with very average facial aesthetics with an attractive woman on their arm


Now, granted LOOKS STILL DO MATTER and you very, very rarely see a downright UGLY man with an attractive woman, but YOU DO SEE EVERYDAY, men who are VERY, VERY AVERAGE in the looks department with cute/hot girls on their arm.
 

"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.

Well put.

Leagues only exist in your head, if you choose to let them exist.

To me, I make my own leagues:
Those who CAN have me, and those who CAN'T.

Remember, YOU are the one who chooses.

I'll second that...

A lot of women have TYPES, but not LEAGUES. They like skinny, or thugged-out, or fat, or clean-cut guys or WHATEVER.

As long as you're not the exact opposite of her 'type' then you've got a fair shot at her. My current relationship is with a woman who always dated much older, bigger (like stronger) men. Then I came along... a guy only 3 months older than her, and 6' 150 lbs. The difference between me and the other guys my size is that I demonstrate dominance without having the physical presence of a huge guy.

To get with a super attractive girl, you don't have to be equally attractive. You only have to attractive ENOUGH. It's unlikely that an obese, disheveled and balding old man is going to get with a super model. But is possible for an average looking guy if he is successful, well-groomed, well-dressed and has a great personality.
 

"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.
