"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.

What causes attraction in women. I mean if you're new and looking for a miracle cure this is the closest to it:cool:
In order
1.Power/Control i.e. Man in control
2. Social Status
3. Intelligence
4. Looks
5. Money

I cannot emphasize #1 enough. This differenciates the men from the boys. I dunno without #1 nothing else really matters. If women think you are a pushover, it's a wrap. Check people if they disrespect you. Yeah you may be coming out of your comfort zone to check someone but the benefits are :up:
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

place to place.
the word "NO" is probably the most lethal weapon any man can use to bring a woman to her knees. the word no commands instant respect. they can use their pretty looks and sweet personality and if you still don't heed to their whims. they will love and respect you more.

What you guys are missing is that this is a list of what "girls" want, not women although there are women who haven't outgrown this juvenile mindset. These are typically the women who are categorized as either high maintenance or flaky because of all of the number of unstable relationships they have been in. The easiest ways to recognize these women is by what they look for in men. Are they actual character traits or "quantity traits?"

Character traits
- Charisma
- Passion
- Confidence
- Self Control

Quantity traits
- Power
- Social status
- Money
- Things (car, home, job)

So many times both men and women define men by how many quantity traits they have. Guys will then focus on acquiring more of these quantitative traits often forgoing the quality traits.

The quantity seeking women tend to leave these guys to either date guys with more quantity or have a fling with guys with quality. Ever hear stories about women married to wealthy husbands who go away on an island vacation alone or with girlfriends and have a romance with an islander?
 

"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.
