"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.

Put Your Age in Your Profile

Edited because half of you are not even reading the post and are just replying with your age:

The whole point is to put your age IN YOUR PROFILE, where others can see it. Should you decide to do it, your age should show to the left of yoru posts.

End edit...

It is very important that you post your age in your public profile, for the sake of effective communication.

When someone asks a question here, the answer is going to be very different to a 20 year old than it would be to a 50 year old. I find that half the time I'm asking, "How old are you? before I can even start to address any particular issue. Naturally, this is because life experience has to be taken into account, not to mention the social climate of peers at various stages of life.

Posting your age is NOT mandatory, but highly advisable. It just makes sense on a site like this that deals so heavily with social interactions.

How to do it: In the forum heading, you will see links like "User CP, FAQ, Members List, etc." Just click "User CP" (stands for Control Panel) and you will see where you can put your age in.

"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.

He meant in your profile not in this thread, did you bother to read at least his first line?
 

"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.

why don't you just make a poll
Your age should be a permanent fixture in your profile. No one will remember poll results.

As a reminder, posting age is NOT mandatory. If anyone has a real reason not to post their age that's perfectly fine. It oviously helps a lot in communicating effectively.

Now if I can just get 5string to take down his "100 years old" and put in his real age, which is 85.

"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.

now who isn't reading sentences properly
How long this comedy has to go? does it seem too hard for you to PUT YOUR AGE on YOUR PROFILE so other users see with who they are talking with.

If you put in that task half of the enrgy you put in bvllsh1tting here Im sure it will do.

wow there no need to shout, If you actually read back through you will realise that my age IS in my profile and it has been since before this bleeding article.

I will repeat that as the message appears not to be sinking in.

My age is in my profile and it has been the whole time
 

"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.
