"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.

Haha, I hate when you're trying to improve yourself and become a better person and your parents just say some sh*t that breaks the forth wall. For instance, my mother and father both say I'm lazy when they don't know SH*T about what I f*cking do. And lol it's just hard not to get p*ssed when your parents say stupid ignorant sh*t like that. And that's the problem, my parents think they know every f*cking thing. Anyway how do you guys deal with this?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Get them together on the couch and have a talk with them...

Tell them you are grown and some decissions you can make yourself...

Once you get your parents together and talk to them as a tribal leader.... it will make them realize that you are already grown...

You get the flow?

no man, I hear ya. It pisses me off somewhat when my parents or friends say ****. I guess you just need to learn to let it go. I've learned to not respond to people who try to bring you down. I think I'm a pretty laid back individual. But if I just get pissed and say something people usually back down pretty fast.

You have to remember that even if you are 65.... you will still be their "child"

Many parents are old school... like mine.... I just tend to agree with them to make them happy... but still go about my way (In the right way though)

Im not old but i realised this recently.

Your parents are not your enemies and the majority have the best intentions for their kids.

If their annoying or come off as douchebags, just do what i do with my dad and pretend to agree with evreything he says while actually DOING whatever i want to lol

Arguing with parents is circular. Just say "ok your right" then proceed to do whatever you want. Then if they yell at you more say "your right, i was wrong"

just continue this over and over
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
