"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.

It really needs to be monitored. Google and Youtube have been CAUGHT censoring material from prisonplanet.com and other sites. They would screw with the viewing count, the ratings, or take the videos off completely.

Today the British government completely banned the site saying it's hate speech. A lot of you should post the viewing count to make sure we catch them if youtube starts screwing with the counter.


Well there ya go. Here comes internet 2. Goodbye world! Lololol
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

YouTube has already frozen the counter. It's frozen on 60,689 views.
That's just disgusting, I'm going to go through and read all those sites on the principle of freedom of speech. Stuff like this makes you think they're actually right.

Um, the British government doesn't censor any websites on the basis that they're "hate speech". I just went on prisonplanet and inforwars with absolutely no problem at all. Try again. :rolleyes:
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

So, you're totally wrong then, the British government hasn't censored anything.

No, I wouldn't say totally. Did you read the article? It was censoring by a transportation hub in Britain. I was mostly wrong with a little right sprinkled in.

Yeah, absolutely nothing to do with the British government. I, for example, can still view the sites.

But the British government is an easy target for conspiracy theory nutjobs, because absolutely none are British, so none really know any better.
