"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.

Maybe this is a bit of a reach, but I'm wondering -any thoughts on David Letterman's statement Mon. night saying "Treat a lady like a wh–e, and a wh–e like a lady," I guess it's a quote from the 1930's.

I've heard it before, and I guess he opened with it early in the show, the reaction was silence.

Any thoughts on the validity of this statement?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Dear Glass Half Full,
Treating a Lady like a w****,wouldn't be real smart,it was bad policy in 1930,and perhaps even worse today...On the other Hand,considering the second part,if w****s are your thing,then Yeah go for it,it might make a pleasant change for her,might even get a freebie LOL.
