"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.

That's why Seinfeld is appealing to everyone, because it's much more realistic than those airbrushed shows like Friends.

Speaking of ugly chicks, does anyone remember the episode where George dates his welfare officer's ultra-ugly daughter, so he can keep claiming welfare? Then in the end, she ends up dumping him because she thinks he's a crap boyfriend.

Or that episode where Jerry describes this girl's laugh as "Elmer Fudd sitting on a juicer"
 

"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.

True, most of the women on Seinfeld are fairly good looking. However, the people (guys and girls) are in general much plainer looking than the people on most TV shows. While few of them are bad looking, the people on Seinfeld aren't quite on the caliber of those on most TV shows. I think that in terms of how people look, Seinfeld is one of the more realistic shows out there.

Look at Friends. Have you ever seen an average looking girl on Friends? I haven't, they're all very hot. But I've seen plenty on Seinfeld.
I would take almost all of the chicks on Seinfeld over Lisa Kudrow. I would take Elaine over the other two.

I always though Elaine looked good. And dont knock average girls, they can be just as sexy if not more than women that look to hot for their own good. Not to say I wouldn't pole a ridicoulously hot women, but most are lazy when it comes to acting sexy ( sort of artifitial) where average women tend to work harder at it.
They say Cleopatra ( who seduced Cesar) wasn't even the best looking woman compared to the ones he could've chose. But she knew how to work it. :D
