"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.

Agree? Disagree?

When I say relationship, I mean where you at least care for the girl.

For me this has always been the case. I'm not saying the emotional baggage that comes with an emotional connection with a girl is always fun. But the sex is definitely better.

If your goal is great sex, you might consider serial monogamy instead of rotating through a bunch of f*ck buddies.

(I realize a lot of guys on this site probably don't yet have the luxury of choosing between those paths... hang in there ;) )
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Meh, it's purely subjective. Personally I've had a few LTR's that lasted longer than a year, and a few one night stands. As far as the sex goes, to me it was just sex.

If the time was right, and the girl was really into it, then the sex was great!

"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.

Thanks for your comments.

I mean generally though.

Obviously there are exceptions. I can think of a few occassions myself.

Keep your options open, sure...

But am I wrong here?

Spinning 20 plates is a measure of insurance if you're not likely to land anything you can rely on.

But if you can, why not conserve your energy and aim for (again, my opinion) more satisfying sex?

The best sex I had was with my girlfriend's best friend, but I agree that it wasn't as spiritual or satisfying as sex with my girlfriend, but it was definitely better.
