"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.

He's doing nothing but fukking up threads. And he's not remotely humorous. He's like a zit on your asscrack.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I guess the mayonnaise comment struck a nerve. Would you prefer if I used the term 'frozen hotdogs' instead?

I just went into your profile and noticed the thread you started about being a virgin.

Noticing your posts around here, I'm wondering if you actually talk/act like this in real life?

Yeah, you should also check the date when it was posted. I'd hate to be misrepresented. Namean?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I wasn't trying to flame you here.

I was asking you a serious question.

Do you actually act like you do here on these forums in real life?

Eh, you don't know me well enough to make that assumption.

But, did this place help you get laid? Or rather, have you managed to get laid since that thread? (I didn't read anything but the first post of it)

That book changed my outlook on life and on women in general. The man really nailed it for me.

But I'm glad you finally got some. Or rather, it appears that you are trying to improve yourself, so however you present yourself here is really immaterial.
 

"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.

Like I said in my very first post, my intentions are not women, which I think is what makes this board bad since people end up validating themselves through women. I have goals that go far beyond women into my financial, spiritual, physical, and on.

Like I've said before, I'm not insecure like you and I don't have to validate myself too you. It's not like your opinion has an effect. Seriously, keep calling me a virgin, it makes me laugh.

Word.

Then you are a cut above the others here if that is truly your attitude.

It is. The hardest thing I had to do was admit, I didn't want to be an engineer, throw my degree in the garbage, and start my own business.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Damn, that's interesting, because I'm at that phase in my life where I'm trying to do the same thing. I'm an Engineer as well and I'm entirely dissatisfied with it.

I'm looking around at what I actually want to do right now.

After I got out, I just had a realization about things and realized the only reason I took engineering in the first place was because I was good at math and physics. In high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I did it, than I realized, it was what everyone else wanted for me. It wasn't what I wanted.
I always wanted to be an entrepreneur, but in the past I'd say to myself, "you're too shy, you're not a people person, you don't know anything about business, just settle for a high paying job, cause that's the only way you're ever going to get money". I had to go battle these things.
