"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.

"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.
And he did...not as much as kirk.
And this younger woman is nothing new for him. He was dating an even younger girl years ago...and it didn't last long either.
Career killer? You might not know this but Patrick is VERY wealthy from his successful career in TV & Movies...he doesn't ever
need to work again.

He's supposed to reprise his Professer X role in the new X-Men movie. Not sure that qualifies as a mega buck role though.Scormus said:
Another actor who favored younger women was Charlie Chaplin. He married two 16 year old girls and an 18 year old. He also married Paulette Goddard, who was in her mid twenties - but she was the hottest of them all IMO.
