"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.

A few days ago I posted a thread, when I was discouraged, tired, and quite frankly demotivated from making progress in talking to women. I was seeing no progress and was frustrated because I really wanted to be part of this experience that some men are enjoying. My self esteem crashed hard and now I'm starting to recover and reform my ideals on why I approach women.

Lesson 1. Approaching Women Should Not Be An Exercise
- Do not put meeting random women on a schedule unless you're making a date.
- If you encounter a woman and think she is interesting, strike up a casual conversation for fun!
- Don't be bummed out if she doesn't respond, give you her number/fake number. Just think about the fun you may have had, when you talked to that woman.
- If you didn't have fun when talking to her, then why waste more time by asking her on a date later on?
- Make it fun, not a "game."
Lesson 2. Realize Your Self Worth
- That's right buddy, average Joe Spudd has some charm.
- You may not be the most attractive man, but that shouldn't stop you from being hygienic, stylish, and interesting.
- Make a list on your personal values.
- Make a list on what you want to improve on.
Lesson 3. What Do You Want In A Woman
- A lot of men easily submit to women, since they want love, sex, and other nice benefit.
- Women screen men, in order to find their best suitor, so a man should do the same.
- High Quality women aren't necessarily the best looking ones, but the ones that resonate to your personality, and seem like genuine individuals who have a lot to offer besides their looks.
- Stop thinking of women as HB 1-10's, because of their looks. If they are attractive they are attractive, if not, then they are not.
- Make a list of attractive qualities you want in a woman, besides hot looks.
Lesson 4. Don't Forget Your Life's Passions
- A lot guys when in the game, we forget our what we are most passionate about
- Men sometimes place women on top of our hobbies, jobs, education, and other things that stick to you in life.
- If you don't have passions then find them. It should be a fun soul searching adventure!
Lesson 5. Don't Over Analyze
- Talking to women is not a science, its a social skill.
- Don't invest too much thought in a woman, its a recipe for disappointment.
- You CAN'T CREATE ATTRACTION, she either feels it or she doesn't. However seduction is a different story...but even that REQUIRES ATTRACTION
Lesson 6. Don't Give Up
- You may have been rejected 98 times, but the point is that you tried!
- You won't be able to understand all women, you can't generalize, different strokes for different folks, which is why rejections are high.
- It doesn't make you a weirdo to have more rejections than successes, it makes you a persistent individual, who may have a had bad luck or little itty bitty factors that in the end don't matter.

This reflection should hopefully make me a better lover of women, rather than a misogynistic PUA/DJ.
 

"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.

This is what should be inside of a DJ's mind.

Another thing I want to add is to Be Thorough. Every time you talk to a woman, don't talk to her for the sole purpose of getting her number or bedding her. Talk to her with real interest and actually give a s*** about what she says. Rushing things only leads to failure and negative thinking. Virtually, don't become outcome dependent.
