"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.

Negative thoughts down the drain just relax, let t
Are any of my fellow aspiring Don Juans music lovers? Does anybody play an instrument, want to learn an instrument here? I see it mentioned from time to time but no threads pop up.

Being fluent in music is a pretty badass, whether you get into it to fvck women or not. It's a feeling that's difficult to describe, other than feeling like a total badass....lol. I myself play guitar and piano, and I really want to learn jazz bass and violin. The Beatles are probably my biggest influence, most of their songs are fairly easy as well as being iconic and sounding great. Always fun to be at a friends house and find they have an acoustic instrument; boom you are suddenly the life of the party.

So any other music fans on Sosuave? R&B is my favorite genre, then Rock, then Spanish/Latin stuff.. (Southern Cali Rock etc)
spicy!!

Well I've played the guitar since I was a teenager, my cousins and I had a ragtag barn band throughout high school and the early post-hs years. We were a strong musical unit, but when my cousin got married two years ago, so much for that.

I have a very nice rendition of the 70's era Fender Strat, with the giant headstock and maple neck, but it hardly ever comes out of its case anymore. I also have a very nice Washburn steel string, solid spruce top and stunning inlays, and it hardly ever gets played anymore. A couple years ago I started getting into classical guitar, and it's all I play now.

Nylon strings have such a nice resonance in the bass and the highs are crystalline, it's a more pleasurable playing and listening experience than hammering on a steel string. And the classical pieces are tough, I mean it takes months to get a Moonlight Sonata or Ave Maria under your fingers. But it's so worth it once you do.

Played piano hard for over a decade... but difficult to use it with girls if you don't have a handy piano standing around ;)

But nice if you invite them over then you can play a little.

"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.
