"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.

is a blackbelt by the time she starts dating, an expert pistol shottist and fast draw "pro" by the time that she's out of high school. So she need never fear (much less have it HAPPEN) men who are 50% heavier, have a 25% reach advantage and are at LEAST twice as strong as she is. This the main reason so many women are snakes. they have constantly (if subconciously) had to fear for their physical safety, and/or that of their kids. Fathers who default on this responsibility are pieces of work.

"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.

We all get that goundra/twentee is a troll and a certified nutcase. He/she/it is occasionally amusing and that's all that matters.
