"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.

"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.

I've heard of it happening, but not experienced it myself.... yet! - All post-menopausal women I've been with have had no problem as far as that's concerned.
I think it can happen due to hormonal changes - and so many these days get hormone replacement therapy if they have that problem and want to remain 'active'.
I suppose it's a similar principle to guys getting 'V' pills.
And the 'not as hard' thing in older men:
I found that fitness played a big part for me.
I did let myself get badly out of shape when I was married, I piled on a LOT of weight and began to suffer the dreaded 'not as hard with age' - then after the breakup I went full, 'No refined sugars', ate properly, started cycling for fitness again >>> Lost the excess weight >>> Got fit again...
Amazing the difference it made... It was like I was regenerating - I now look 10-12 yrs younger than I am, and physically I feel like I did in my 30s - including the contents of my pants.
I'm an even better prospect to a woman than I was in my 30s, because the guy down below reacts the same as it did at 30, but I'm now far more experienced, and have better self-control.

I'd take a HARD pass on all three of those and I'm 48. Ye gods, they are as rough as a badgers arse.

You'll "let" them give you some head if you were in a long drought, and after doing so you might "consider" letting them give you some pvssy.
"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 could never do any of those either. They all look like they should either be a 3rd grade teacher or in prison.

So wait if I read that right, you hooked up with one of your daughter's friends?

Well, Step-daughter's friend, but yep! More than one (all on separate occasions).
On that occasion it was more of a friend-of-a-friend..
I realise the term 'daughter's friend' doesn't sound good - but we're talking about women in their 30s and 40s here (Stepdaughter is 38)
All single free-agents at the time, and certainly NOT any of the ones that I've known since they were kids.
I'm not completely without scruples - LOL
