"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 just remembered... I remembered how hard it was.

Making friends, you gotta' be a certain "race" sometimes, a certain age, and you gotta know people. I started out with knowing little amount of people, and I had a bit of trouble making friends with certain people. I wondered why. I'm quiet but when i'm not, i don't get the responses I wanted.

I still wonder. Why did i have to go through this? Why is that it is hard for me to make friends with certain people. I can't just go up to them and say hi.. nobody does it that way here in NYC. Anyone else live in NYC?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I go to Stuyvesant High School, so maybe that makes some things different, but I find the easiest way to make new friends is to just introduce yourself to your friends' friends. See someone hanging out with someone you know, then go over there and get to know that new person. I'll admit that just going up to people and saying "Hi" would seem awkward, but I've done it with success myself so don't put it down until you've tried it.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Well i go to canarsie and i don't find it hard to make friends with males lol. As you said i usually meet friends from other friends our when people are cracking jokes on people. Like say you see your friend in the hallway you would give him a pound and everyone else he is walking with. Thats how i end up usually walking with over 20 people after school.

Now if only i could have got girls without a problem.
