"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.

you ever notice how in the movies and on tv guys who are aggressive and come onto women with dirty pick up lines and kino are portrayed as morons and being rejected and getting pwned by women? its always the nice respectful pandering guy who gets the girl. and women are portrayed as smart witty and "strong". women are always insulting men on tv and physically assaulting them. it always implies that life is this way but real life is totally different. it always implies that women are like men.
this is why i cant stand to watch most shows on tv. in real life men and women are both intelligent but women have no control over their feelings. theyre skittish prey who dont know what they want. women are not men.
the media makes it look like nice guys win, **** tv and romance.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Have you played Mega Man V?

Anyways, OP, who do you think writes this pile of sh*t? That's right, writers who were betas. A movie is fantasy. Remember that. Nice guy gets girl my ass.

Except nice guys DO get women, sir.

They obvious have reproduced thus far and have good little nice guys for sons and teach their sons the same crap their fathers taught them. Not every father in society is an Alpha or a "jerk."

I'm not defending nice guys either. I'm simply stating a fact, that these type of guys do get women... if they are good looking. Looks are what counts, behavior is largely secondary, as you well know.
