"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.

OP, I actually agree with you, but I'm not sure if some on the site are ready to understand this.

The point is, you need to come up with a realistic, no-BS assessment of who and what you are in order to improve.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

People seem to forget that there's more than one way to skin a cat. We all have that defining moment that makes us want to change. It could be the thing that brought us to this site. Or the time we looked in the mirror and got angry at what we saw. Or the time we got stood up and felt useless. Or the time the @sshole got picked over us. Different strokes for different folks. You know yourself better than anyone else so find what motivates you and GO!

Oh yeah....Cubs '08 B!tches

all foolish haters aside, i am glad that there are a handful of guys here (Evzone, Chriz, DjVladdy ect ect) who feel the truth in my harsh words

a no BS self assesment is absolutely necessary.......you gotta be able to talk to YOURSELF the same way i am talking to the losers here right now.....and when you realize you are a big failure, you will feel the fire in your gut to want to CHANGE

you will instantly want to lose those extra 30lbs (like i did when i was 19)
you will instantly want to find some goddamn girls to hook up with (like i did when i was 17/18)
once you realistically start to hate the FACT that you are a LOSER, you WILL CHANGE

good point. this is what you should have said all along.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I think he was talking more along the lines of actually giving people advice, and not claiming you're some kind of king. did that get lost in translation?
