"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.

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?
 

"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.

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 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.

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.
