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'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.
if more than 2 people told you you're good looking then you probably are. to me it doesn't matter if it's men who said it because trust me, straight men can tell if a man is good looking or not. other way to know is if you get mesmerized stares from chicks on the street.lordson said:How do you tell? i find that how i look in the mirror seems to differ a bit to what i look like in photos
i think i look pretty good front on, but side on its not as good
how do you know for sure?
i get comments from straight guys all the time saying im good looking
but that doesn't hold much credibility with me, im okay with judging other guys looks but dont really know what women want, like most men i assume.
have had one or two comments as well from women, saying im 'cute' and one said i shouldn't go out with this girl because itll pollute the gene pool i should keep my good looks elsewhere.
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 get compliments from straight guys. I've been called good looking to hot, by guys. I know they are sincere about that because I've heard it from strangers with no vested interest in buttering me up.lordson said:How do you tell? i find that how i look in the mirror seems to differ a bit to what i look like in photos

Topics like this. Men being as concerned about their looks as women. Why don't you go get together with your buddy's and talk about your feelings towards the imperfections of your body. Maybe you should buy some make up so you'll look better.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
More than 2? In one night maybe. Not in your whole life (family members don't count).budisudaryo said:if more than 2 people told you you're good looking then you probably are.
Exactly. Also, if you have $500 to burn that night (and don't need any medication) you will be very attractive. So work hard for 20 years and you can earn more. Did you ever think it might be fun to spend lots of money with beautiful women?floydb25 said:Generally, if you are being successful, and have several women showing interest - you're probably good looking. If you're attractive enough - women will come to you.
3 day fast? what do you mean?bigneil said:More than 2? In one night maybe. Not in your whole life (family members don't count).
When you are looking good, at least one woman per week will say you are handsome. Randomly at the mall, etc. It varies based on health. Go on a 3 day fast and you'll have a healthy glow and you'll see what I mean.
Why not post your photo on Hot or Not?
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.
