"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.

So I was thinking about all the opinion openers, and none of them really suit me, so I came up with this. It is not field tested, I am just asking for your thoughts on whether its worth a try:

blah blah need quick opinion.... How would you guys describe a 'real man'?


I think this is worth a shot because:

-Girls dream about prince charming, but the really 'together' chicks likely have a very mature, put together idea of who he is
-Pre-screens for all kinds of psychos/gold diggers
-Lots of opportunity to bust on them about various things depending on responses
-easy to lead into a ton of other topics or routines
-something that men and women should care about
-feedback on how to improve yourself
-opens them up to compliment you
- ...
 

"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.

- Wierd to ask complete strangers about what a real man is... thats my opinion... but go ahead and try it if you feel you are sitting on something.

Yea thats the kind of feedback I want.... any reasons people think this may not work, and something I could add to make it seem less weird.

I figured it would work best if approaching a larger set, say in a bar or something.

Maybe tell a story first, like "hey me and my buddies over there were just talking about what a real man is... I said its Arnold Schwartzanegger because he is as strong as ****, otherfriend said its brad pitt, because he can get all the ladies, another guy said Bill Gates, because he is rich and successful.... What do you guys think a 'real man' is?"

The city that sleeps. Sometimes.
seems like too fast too soon.

its a great question to ask a little LATER in the conversation.. It seems that if you just come up to a chick asking that, most of the time the girl would be like "what the ****???"
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

i'd use that line in a later stage as a conversation opener that will lead through emotion talking/fantasy talking...
then to patterns ;)
