"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.

Ok I got this 27in bubble screen (not flat screen) Phillips. Not too shabby condition, I only got it like maybe a summer or two ago. I'm considering getting a flat screen 32in. What do you guys think, should I get this or just save up for a 57in, yay or nay?
 

"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.

Whenever I've visited a really successful persons house, I've always been suprised by how small their TV is.

Completely agree

Television is a means of passive entertainment. Most successful people I know have a nice TV, but not a huge one. They don't have cable or satellite, but rather rent Netflix and watch movies/TV series on those occasions when they're looking for passive entertainment. Everything seems to come out on DVD within a year or two of it hitting the theater or the airwaves.

Regardless, to answer your question, there is a new breed of TVs coming out that might be a good idea to investigate.

Watching TV is very unproductive IMO. I can always find more constructive things to do rather than sit in from of the TV. I usually only watch it when I'm eating, or having snuggle time with the woman. I don't have cable, I usually just throw on a video. I get my news by radio, and my weather by internet. I kill conversation when someone asks, "Have you seen that commercial where...."

However, if you love your TV, go buy a big one.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
