"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.

Well, we all know the yayo ain't good for you. it can kill you the first time you try it....or not.

If it gets out of hand.

It's time to stop, eh?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Yeah I used to love Hilary Duff, but she's too thin now. Mary-Kate Olsen ruined herself too.
 

"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.

Did he lose a lot of weight?

I'll bet he's another cocaine dieting success!

PCP is the worst drug in the world...Tell your bro to lay off or he might end up pulling a Silence of the Lambs like this guy.

I say leave your friend alone. If he says he wants to quit then chances are he's going to eventually he just needs to grow out of it. He might be doing coke cause of depression bothering him about it is just gonna make his depression worst causing more problems. Coke isn't has bad has the government makes it out to be. But don't get me wrong it isn't good for you either.

Yeah I agree the only for sure safe way for someone to do pcp is to lock them up in a padded room in a straight jacket.

"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.

setting captives free. It's a dot com site google it.

Get your friend to sign up for one of their courses. If he doesn't have the will to do it himself, he can have god back him up. It is kind of like bible bootcamp and the only person you are accountable to is yourself.. and the lord.

Bruce, what's the address to that site? Got any recommended reading from there? Like an introduction to their "bootcamp", or a good testimonial?
