"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.

Ran into my first "older woman" from age 22 today

Today I was with one of my girlfriends (ultra-hot 32 y.o. ) in a big-box electronics store, helping her buy a computer. We became separated, and while I was looking at some laptops, a woman asked me if these hp's are any good.

I turned around and much to my surprise saw that she was my first older fb from when I was 22! When I was that age she was 38, 16 years my senior.

That means when I saw her today she was 70! I'm shuddering as I think about this...

While I have largely retained my youth, the years have not been kind to her. She looked every bit her age. I said "Cindy?" and she had a hard time recognizing me. Not sure if that was fake or not. She was always very poised, but I could tell from the way she was fidgeting around that she was freaking out inside.

Lesson: Time ravages women and their market value is extremely limited. Keep that in mind as you work to de-pedestalize women.

Having an older woman is cool when you're 22,but you'd better hope you don't run into her 32 years later. The irony was not lost on me today, as she kept me somewhat at arm's length back in the day, that the tables had turned as Father Time eroded her looks over the years. I felt a little bad for her as my little chickie (well she's actually very tall ) came back to be introduced.

Twas a strange experience indeed. She had no idea who she was talking to until I revealed my majestic presence to her.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Wow, your girl is 22 years younger? Nice.

Yes, older women are only good until about age 47.

Yes, older women are only good until about age 30. Then they fall off.

Yea, because there experienced but there looks tend to decline then and by 30 they have accumalated baggage. (kids, ex drama, etc.)

Not 30! They are in their sexual prime at 30!
So they keep trying to tell us, sort of like how only the elderly ever say "respect your elders".

My intuition tells me this is not a true story, though I may be wrong...
