"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.

A couple days ago I overheard my girlfriend and her best friend (Let's call her A)talking about another girlfriend of theirs (Let's call her B) and it was interesting to say the least. B has had a boyfriend now for about 5 years but they've been having some issues and turmoil in their relationship lately and supposedly B had met another man she was interested in and was considering breaking up with her boyfriend. I've heard them talk about B all the time and about how they don't think her boyfriend treats her very well but it wasn't until she had become interested in this other guy that she was considering breaking up with her boyfriend. Last I heard they broke up. This just proves the 'monkey doesn't let go of one branch until grasping for another' analogy. Women can be very sneaky and fake high interest level in you until finding your replacement. This reminded me to always have your guard up brothers. It also taught me another important fact which is win the approval of your girlfriend's friends so they don't talk shyt about you.
 

"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.

I agree about the "Monkey/Branch theory, but I don't agree that you should work to impress some woman's friends. If the girl I'm with puts more stock in her friends than she does me, she can take a fvcking hike.

Grab your balls and quit putting up with shyt like that. Don't kiss ass on people who have nothing but contempt for you.

This is true but I was just making the point to not neglect the friends because they have a big sway on your girl's opinion of you hence the saying 'women are herd creatures'. Definitely don't take disrespect or kiss their asses. I worded it wrong by saying 'win approval'
