"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 personally think yes, to a certain extent. I know a lot of you are going to say that looks are only a minor part of the equation, but I think it goes a bit further.

Someone can't help their facial structure, but they can help things like hygiene and the way they dress. If a guy wasn't the best looking, but still took care of himself and dressed nice, he'd still have credibility with me.
 

"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.

Dress, hygiene, fitness, and general upkeep (like keeping your hair cut and nails trim, etc) are all factors you can control that will affect people's perception of you.

However, looks (genetics-wise, ie facial structure) aren't the biggest factor. I've seen guys that girls drooled over (looks-wise) never get any play, and I've also seen mediocre-looking guys get consistent hook-ups. But, they definitely play a role in attraction.

As for dating advice, the thing that matters most is experience.
