"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.

This will never happen in the US (paid PMS time), could happen in places like Canada, Sweden, and other countries given over to gynocracy, but can't advise young men enough to get their training and experience in corporate environments and then get out and become a contractor or entrepreneur. The corporate workplace today is extremely lopsided in favor of women, and remaining in it, other than for the very few, is a path to subsidizing women's inferior workplace performance in several ways, especially in white collar service industry environments. Most men will be happier as an entrepreneur or contractor anyway.

Every single one of my clients with employees complains about female employees regularly, and much of the real problems are concealed and hard to measure. Drama, lower work capacity, hypochondria and abuse of group insurance leading to exorbitant rate increases that all pay, threatened and actual lawsuits, are problems I hear about constantly.

Young men, get training, get experience, get out on your own.

No more keyboard jockeying . Action is the place.
Actually, now in the DSM 5 for psychological disorders, Pre-Menstrual Disphoric Disorder is actually a disease now. It describes the normal symptoms of PMS just thrown into a psychological disorder mashup. Pretty screwed up.
