"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.

I'm guessing that 95% of entertainment industry celebrities are pure shills. But I've always had hope for a handful of of them. Nicki Minaj is one of them and I'm glad she's got an enormous amount of IDGAF to show it.

Her responses to everything are extremely satisfying. To be in front of such a large audience and put yourself out there is the epitome of IDGAF. No backpedaling, no signs of retreat, and consistent wit.

 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

She was a part of Cash Money and was in league with Baby, one of the biggest record execs to ever live, Nikki Minaj has a profound influence that is far reaching, not Beyoncé level but probably the closest second.

She is also just inherently a nostalgia artist for most Millennials, she has to basically fall out of favor with that audience now for her to lose them.

I wouldn't say she is an Alpha Male, what I would say is that she has enough of a backing to where she could say "Skippipippity-BOP!" and there are people who are just going to defend that because of who's saying it.

I would say Kanye West is a close second to Beyoncé but I think the audience between Nikki and Kanye overlap a lot
