"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 have used OLD almost exclusively in the past 5 years and do great.
me as well. POF, Tinder, Bumble and Hot or Not. A few dry spells but more often than not theres is always something in the hopper.
Good pictures and a good profile are a must unless you look like Brad Pitt.
 

"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.

Hi
I am quiet new in this. Recently i decided to use apps to help me with meeting new girls due to covid going out is nearly impossible. After 2 weeks of using (tinder, badoo, bumble and happen) I literally got nothing. I read how to optimize profiles to be more attrsctive etc. Hard for me to judge my own appearance but anyways i thought its going to be easier.
Do you have any tips or similar experiences?
I live in UK
Try using Facebook Dating and Hinge. Those are the best two apps right now.

Get some professional pictures taken. Preferably outside because studio shots look too try hard. Pictures are the most important thing on your profile. They will literally make you or break you.

Use an opener that is a funny open ended question. Don't ever open with "Hey" or "Hi." If you have a good career then make sure you list your job title on your profile.

Try to keep the back and forth to under 10 messages and then ask her to get a drink with you. Once she says yes, then get her number.

I hope these tips help. I can't stress enough about how important the pictures and the opener are.

Yup. Women read profiles whether the "it's all about pics" crew wants to admit it or not. And it matters.

Inside her mind
OLD is a lot tougher right now, women don't want to meet it up
If you do meet than yeah it's easier to smash (depending on where you live, I live in a state with restrictions so women come over)
It's a lot of work/effort and honestly to me it's not worth it, im focused on stacking my money and getting in shape (put on damn near 20 pounds since June)
