"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.

To make a long story short, there's a contest that I need votes on. To enter, I had to write a humorous story about life in the retail world. The winner of this contest gets a paid ski trip, and runners up get free gear... so I'd prefer to not lose. However, there are other people who have entered, and since voting is open to anyone and everyone, I need more than just 20 friends to vote for me... which is why I am calling on the might of SoSuave. Only SoSuave members, with their clout and massive numbers can push through the envelope and inflate the vote.

If I win, so do you! I figure that if I win anything, it's due to having people here vote for me - so I'll give a portion of it back to people who helped. Here's how it will work.

1) Click the link at the end of this thread.
2) Vote for "Imaginary African Safari.... (8th from the top)
3. Go back to the survey again, this time voting for "Are you that guy? (19th from the top)
4. Post in this thread letting me know that you've voted for both stories.
5. Sit back and wait for me to win (or keep voting, as there is no limit on how many times a person/IP address can vote.

If and when I win, I'll give 10% of whatever the value of the prize is back to 1-3 people here who have helped out. If I win one of the ten $1,000 gear prizes, I'll be distributing $100 to 1-2 people here (via PayPal or money order). The winners here will be chosen at random from the responses in this thread. If I win the grand prize - the trip - then I'll be splitting the same portion of the value of that prize among 3 random people from this thread (as the value of that is well over $1000).

I'll keep updates on any contest activity I hear on this thread. Once I know something, you'll know something. Plus, you're getting a chance to help out a fellow SS'er on something that actually could be cool.


Here's the link!

*Deadline for voting is August 1, 2006

*If anyone knows of a program that can "auto vote", let me know. The only ones I can find are for "Big Brother" or "TRL". :rolleyes:
 

"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 have played my part in your diabolical scheme.

Now let me randomly 'win' the lottery part and I'll give you 20% right back.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Done!

Anything for money!

I'll have to read that later on and to actually know what I just did though. How will you know that we did vote for you? I suppose it's some ip mumbo jumbo?
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

"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 voted for both 5 times, but just for your knowledge they are not in the same locations every time. If you hit 'Refresh' they will randomly order themselves.

Yes money would be good right about now, just in case I lose that speeding ticket in court. :(
 

"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.
