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.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
well im turning it into a low rider and itsn ot slow man the thing gots some balls.. for a heavy car.. mine puts out 240 at the wheels but i dont speed so it doesnt concern me..Big Eee Zee said:umm, its nice, but its a crown vic.
i honestly dont see why people put lots of time into cars that are big, slow, and cant turn or stop well.
it is a lot more unique tho, and props to you for doing it.
and if you did the work yourself then you get a lot of respect in my book.
And neither would I, if you pulled up behind me. I'd slow my ass down to the speed limit, cuz I wouldn't want a ticket.sexy_kuta said:but i dont speed so
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
hahah yehhhhBrian20o2 said:Crown Victorias kick ass. Ive wanted one for a while and I think when I save up some money Im gonna try and get a retired cop car. Hell Everyone would think your a cop, and then you could do some stuff to make it look badass! Give it a gloss black paint job, some rims. You would look like a pimped out undercover cop. Imagin pulling up to a club in that!
yea there smooth, real smooth on the high ways..Exp said:I like those kind of cars.
They are really comfortable when driving for a long time.
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.
