"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.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

If you wear pink shirts and have highlights in your hair, a fuzzy white hat, penny loafers and a livestrong bracelet, it shows you are a pvssy. Get the idea?
It's all about duality, when she looks at you she doesn't know what category to put you in. Know the power of the dark side.
Yeah, it's a girl thing, definitely... not to mention it's getting really old.
Although the whole dark side thing does not appeal to me, I can see why it works. Not all chicks fall for it, far from it in fact, but done properly it's as good as any trick out there.

Unless you're a woman, but given the type of forum this is I'm assuming you aren't.

but at the same time if ur comfortable with ur sexuality then why be bothered about what people say, if you go out sarging and u wear pink n a livestrong wristband n highlights yet u totally annihilate all the other "tuff guys" then wat difference does it really make???
my opinion is wear what u wanna wear, pink is a confident colour because it shows u do wat u wanna do, guys that dnt wear pink either dnt wear it becuase it doesnt suit them which is fair enuff because pink doesnt suit every1 but if it does and they dont wear it, then its becuase theyre scared they'll be disrespected, have u eva known gals 2 disrespact a guy that wears pink???? i dont know 1!

This thread title immediately caught my eye. I have about seven pink shirts. A couple of Polo's and couple of button downs and even a pink work shirt or two. To complete the look I have custom made pink skull print Vans shoes to go with these shirts.
Example of one of my pink shirts:

I have black hair and dark eyes and I work out. I am definately not intimidating in the classical sense (mostly due to my glasses) but smaller guys do sometimes get out of my way. Its the contrast that's key with wearing pink. Blonde hair or people with lighter features would probably be better served wearing another color. Its the dichotomy that is interests the girls. Girls think, "Interesting. That guy is Different. He has a fashion sense. Is he gay?"
I am constantly getting unsolicited compliements from women about my pink shirts. Last night I got, "you really pull off pink well." No guy has ever even hinted or questioned my heterosexuality (to my face) at a bar/club either. Wearing pink shows you have the upmost comfort in your own sexuality. By the way I got this idea from Swinggcat's eBook, "Real World Seduction." In the book he talks about the concept of 'being a dandy' and how women love men that judge women using feminine standards. Its all about how you present yourself like was alluded to in the previous replies.

and a fuzzy white hat.... thanks. LOL. Had to rub it in!?:crackup:
"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 agree
but that's just my personal preference. Has nothing to do with self-imposed gender mores or affectations.
Dude, if you like pink, wear it, why bother asking some stupid s**t like that? It's what is underneath the shirt that should carry your game. If you let a shirt weigh you down with self-doubt, it's not the shirt's fault.

lol even these days baby blue has become a girls color
I'd tell you what I mean, but it's a more advanced realization
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
