"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.

If a man hangs out in strip clubs (or is extremely attractive or extremely wealthy), he learns how annoying it is when women come on too strong. How it really is difficult to reject someone, and how unpredictable their reaction is.

On the other hand, (especially in a strip club or if the man is the prize), the man does not want to make a direct approach to the female either. In fact, that is bad seduction practice in general according to Art of Seduction (never make a direct approach, haunt the periphery of their existence).

So there is the rub: two people must observe one another and literally have a mutual attraction in order for it to click. They must meet half way. It is during these opportunities (with the 10% or so who are willing) where the "three second rule" is especially important, and where the man's wardrobe, confidence, character and status are put to the test.

So be prepared to meet them half way.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I never read the Art of Seduction, can you go a little more in depth?
