"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.

Once married, no more Facebook for the husband?

Noticing something interesting among married people. I am noticing a trend maybe, well at least in my circles.

Saw a woman who announced this day being her 2nd anniversary to her new husband who "doesn't have Facebook anymore."

Of course, she posts all over.

I know of another married couple like this. Still in the single digits of marriage. They both had FB accounts, then eventually he faded out of FB altogether, while his wife gleefully posts away. It's kind of embarrassing when his friends wish him "Happy Birthday" and he's not there to respond. lol

People are like "Where the F did he go?!"

I know of another married woman, married 20 years, only picture she has of her husband was their wedding photo and an engagement party from that long ago. So we have no idea what he looks like now. lol

So I guess it's like "Okay, I'm married now...so no longer flirty comments and LIKES on hot chicks photos anymore, time to delete my account."

It's like marriage was the instigator of leaving Facebook?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I see this A LOT. My brother, who is married, has to have a 'joint' Facebook account with his beloved.... what a bunch of bvll sh!t. But it isn't just married dudes, it's any guy in a relationship.... they just drop off the planet. The reason is that they don't want to have to keep defending themselves against activity on you FB site. It is part of the female skill which is nagging their man into compliance. Dudes get so sick of explaining why some random chick liked something you posted... so eventually men just stop using it.

I have a FB account, but I just use it to keep up with friends and family... not chicks.

Men get cucked into compliance because *****, you know. Never had this happen and I would send away any girl who tries to tell me how to run my social media. It is MINE and as long as I don't tell her how to run hers, she damn right ain't sayin' a word how I run mine.

Don't comply. She gets jealous about some girl liking your posts or commenting? Let her. She testing to see how much she can move you with her nagging and bitching. I had my current plate do this a couple of days ago, she was complaining about a pic of a girl I posted (am a photographer, had posted an erotic pic of a girl from a shooting I did a while ago) and she cried on the phone for about 20 minutes. I listened to her, calmly explained what I thought needed explaining in that situation. Next day we went out, she behaved properly, like she should, and everything is cool. Could there be any resentment from her part? Might as well, but that is something apparently unavoidable. If you stop using Facebook, you been cucked and we all know how that ends.

I know guys who ditched it because they were embarrassed about how much their wives posted about their lives and didn't want to see it, or just didn't want their online escape time to be also wife-oriented with being tagged in stupid sh!t every second day. "Honey, did you see that link I posted on facebook?".

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
