Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Since there are so many threads going around on myspace, i'll share an opener I field (um.. myspace) tested a few times. Its not phenomenal, just decent. Just don't overdo it guys, or it kind of loses its value lol.

"I'm sure you get bombarded w/ letters from guys everyday like "you're so hot" and crap I just thought you seemed like a cool person I'd like to get to know."

Some hot girls said "that's sweet" and added me. Many didn't reply (but then again those are the ones that don't reply to anything probably) If anyone decides to field test it tell me how it goes.
 

"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.

Careful w/ that one. You almost make it seem as if you're not a confident guy. Talking about one of her interests might start you off on a better footing.
Try: "I'm sure you get bombarded w/ "you're so hot" and and such but I thought it's really cool that you play guitar too. Do you write songs?"

"Guitar" can be replaced w/ whatever her interest is but at least you have something to build on that she wants to talk about.

My bro does the 'hood' approach of:
"Hey ma' I saw your profile and I found you interesting (*key word*) hit me up sometime maybe I can get to know you better"

My nephew does the "simple" approach
Hi, i saw your profile and its interesting (*key word*) that we have a lot in common."
Then he just picks one random thing out of her profile and he's he does it too..

They both have about a 60 percent success ratio now. They tried it without using 'interesting' and it dropped down to about 25-30 percent success. The mysterious factor of saying that something is interesting always peaks interests of the opposite sex
 

"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.
