"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.

My opinion is that mate-guarding among humans is more common than not. In fact, it's sort of socially accepted... QUITE socially accepted. Guys who don't mate-guard are usually looked upon kind of strangely.

Remember a time when I was at a bar with a chick (call her "X") I was dating and was talking with her friend. "X" was over talking with some other dude who was better looking, taller, more built than I. The friend pointed it out to me and I shrugged and tried to go back to the conversation she and I were having.

She said, "Aren't you going over to pull her away from that guy?" I shrugged again, played dumb and said, "Why would I do that?" knowing full well why most guys would do that. She seemed exasperated and later "X" told me that the friend had complained that I mustn't care for her all that much if I wasn't threatened by other men talking with her.

Kind of interesting.
This world would be a lot better place if men never listened to a woman's dating advice.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

.......Kind of interesting.
I'll take : What a woman would say who's pretending to be a man for 500 Alex.

zarky never fails to give her gynocentric angle, sneakily crafted with her own "personal anecdote". And as a matter of fact men who don't insecurely grab and fawn all over their women in public are actually "looked upon kind of strangely" you guize.
