"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.

Heard from a buddy of mine that there's a rejection hotline out there. Apparently someone in the NYC area (we live in North Jersey) bought a phone line and hooked up this huge voicemail system to it and gave out it's number as a rejection hotline.

His sister has given it to guys. Apparently the girl gives you a number, it definitely looks real (cause it is), you call it and you get an answering machine that says, "If you've reached this answering system from a phone number you were given, consider yourself officially REJECTED!"

Then apparently there are options like 'press one for a poem' or 'press two for a joke' and stuff like that.

Anyone get the rejection hotline? I'm proud to say I haven't. But then again, I haven't asked for a girls number in MONTHS. So I guess it's not really something to be THAT proud of.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Who cares if you get the rejection hotline. Keep plugging away.

(212) 479-7990. A friend told me to call it - I don't think it's that common for people living outside of NYC to get; even if you do, so what? It just shows she wasn't interested to begin with... so you know exactly what her IL is... :rolleyes:

Anything Else.

Giving out a rejection hotline number is mighty immature.

They do a thing on the radio here in the UK its called the flirt divert number. If someone you don't fancy asks for your number you give them the fake one. The fake one has a generic answering machine.
They record the messages left on the number and play them on the radio. I have got to make a note of it before starting the boot camp!

a buddy of mine got one of those in the boston area....hahaha, it was pretty funny, in the cruel and sadistic sense.....you call it and it's a voice recording of a woman going something like, "hahaha, did you really think that I would actually be seen with YOU, hahahaha, oh my GOD!! hahahaha!!! what a LOSER." Funny stuff.....from my perspective that it

I got the New York one. But the funny part was I didn't even ask the girl for a number.

I was being ****y and funny with her and then she gave me the number without me even asking.

Then later she tried to get me to buy drinks and ****, which I didn't do at all.

But I called the number 3 days later and got the brush off.

I thought it was kind of funny, but always wanted to go back in to bust on her.

I didn't get the rejection hotline, just wondered who might have and (and it was already answered) if they had similar things in other parts of the world. I think it's funny as hell!

I heard the one in Nashville a few months ago. No one gave it to me as a real number, but a friend I was with explained it to me and I called it.

Its stuff like this that drives me NUTS! Girls are so afraid of confrontation that they have made passive-aggression a game.

Anyone who actually uses something like this is a horrible human being. If you don't want to talk to someone then don't give them ANY number.

Thats funny because this guy I know...his wife was telling a bunch of us about this guy hitting on her and she gave him the number. I got it from her and saved it to my phone...havn't giving it out yet. I'm waiting for the hottest chick I find.

Oh and I live in Tennessee so I guess the number is pretty popular.
 

"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.
