"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.

His attitude in that article is basically that "The Game" and his philosophy is about total improvement as a man, not just "picking up" women.
I see people on here obsessed with how to increase their chances with women while seemingly ignoring every other facet of their lives. If your career is crap or nonexistent and you don't have any friends, you should work on getting everything together. The qualities that land you a successful job and friends are the same ones that will help you meet women.
Being successful with women is a lifestyle, not just an act you put on when you enter a club (which is why he is said that some people focus on "negging" & "peacocking").

thats a nice line
"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.

I think the game and mystery is an eye opener to a lot of guys who dont know the nature of woman , you rarely find articles help men to success in their relationship
it could be not that sold but it contain a lot of valid points

if you improve yourself, the women will just come. I did this, I find my life more enjoyable. Theres no point to just go out and get women if your life isnt together .... wheres the fun in that ?

The point I take is that women are merely a byproduct of improving your life.
Even if you improve your life and still don't get laid as much as you'd like, you're still living a better life which is of benefit to you.
