"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.

Damn guys I'm on a roll. The whole summer I've met only a few chicks but every day I've been either at the gym or at the recreational center playing hours of basketball with some of my cool friends.

I suffered pretty bad acne the year before, but i got my mom to bring me to a physician who in turn sent me to a dermatologist. I've been taking topical treatments (benzoyl peroxide) and also oral treatment (doxycycline) for almost 2 months. My acne is 80 percent better. I'm hoping to clear it 100 percent in due time.

I felt manipulated so i started reading "The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene two months ago, and now I'm almost done (On Law 45).

You guys know what the awesome thing is? At school (which just started) and in the streets, I get approached now!! It's like I'm a person with high value. I've always been ****y and funny, but now i can back it up better with my improved body image. It's like the reverse, all my efforts go into me and people get attracted. Thats pretty cool. And you know what? I respect everyone, or at least i pretend to.

Some people are naturally insecure, which i was, but I learn to stay away from them. If you know your psych, you can string insecure people like puppets. Oh yeah and money is an awesome thing to have. I can't wait to receive my first paycheck in a few weeks!!!

Some of the people at school, they try and force an image on you, because they refuse to see the change you put into yourself. While you improve yourself, they just stand there doing no improvement, but they just waste their efforts into halting your improvement. LOL you guys see this? I get attractive girls come up to me, including one i reallly like and they all of a sudden they shut up.

Also, when you are frustrated (ie by some complicated calculus, some chick, some dude who disses you, bad test score, parents, anything) Just stop and ask yourself , "Yo Why am i getting so uptight? I can solve this!" Remember to not overcomplicated things.

So yeah its pretty neat. I'm here to express the value of self improvement through my two eyes. I've read some threads that devalue self improvement, and all i can go is like "WTF ARE THEY THINKING". What do you guys think?
 

"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.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
