"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.

"all's fair in love and war" is because love is like war. Just because a woman(or man) acts ruthlessly in that context doesn't necessarily mean they are a bad person or "soulless". It's just the nature of the beast.
A good analogy LA.

But before one enters that war, its best to be armed no?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

One first has to be drafted by the other party to enter the "war" that is "love". If anyone sees love as going to war they simply are weak and care too much about "losing" some "battle" with the opposite sex.

It's best for the weak and confused to sit on the sidelines playing armchair general.

You have a point and for some men, that's their reality.

Shouldn't they be properly 'armed'?

Moderate right-wing and despise extremism. But we can agree to disagree.

I think those that are pushing the so-called ""merits"" of this very silly thread should explain the 10 merits of this thread in bullet points.

I'll even give you a 10% discount. Name 9.

Rando,

Can you name ONE thread in which you’ve provided constructive advice to a SoSuave member? It seems all you do on here is criticize others. You’re basically a full time whiny little bltch. It’s becoming tiresome.

Just one thread, and copy and paste it here. I’ll wait.

Merely an exact mirror of the value mooch on page 1 aimed at the collective.

So what you are saying is that this way of conducting oneself is unnacceptable?

Is there anyone on SoSuave that understands what the heck this man is saying? You string a lot of big words together incoherently.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Rando, Baccus, that's enough. Keep to the topic, there's enough bantering here to sidetrack the whole thread.

If there's a point either for or against then state it with some good content.
