"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.
she thought Europe was a country...

"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.

As long as a woman is pretty and can hold a decent conversation it doesn't really matter.

it's people going out and posting propaganda like that.
for some reason, people believe those small number of idiots (that appeared more than once in one video) represent 100% of americans.
i was on this teen forum trolling a bit and there was this guy from russia or the surrounding countries like that... who turned every topic into a american bash. he posted every single youtube video that he could find that had 4 people that he thought represented 100% of americans... to teenagers.
it's just propaganda.
i also saw two versions of a dog being shot by US soldiers in iraq. they both were the same video, except:
the first one had a dog being shot three times until it was killed... it made a yelping sound.
the second one had troops stopping to see what was wrong with a dog, it appeared to be wild/abandoned, and injured to the point it will die slowly. a soldier said they had to do something about it, so a different soldier shot it once and it didnt die... shot it again and it didn't die... and shot it till it was killed.
the first video was edited to make americans look bad.
there are stupid people EVERYWHERE. just like there are intelligent people everywhere. only the stupid people would believe such propaganda.

"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.

So somebody onlines says that he is from Russia and you believe them? Wow, you are an EASY mark for scammers. I was online once and met a guy from Gilligan's Island who hated Russia. Go figure.
BTW, war is war. If you don't think some soldiers kill dogs, rape, murder, and loot you are about as stupid and dumb as you can get. War makes men do some crazy **** that they would never do if they were back home sipping on some hot chocolate. Anybody who has actually been in a war zone knows what I am talking about.
Personally, I find the British to be much more ignorant than Americans.

This is sad. Sad that people don't know what they are eating, sad they don't know anything about foreign countries.
However, I know people from outside the US who cannot locate America on a map and think that in Latin America they speak English.
So in short, ignorant people will always call others ignorant. It's in their nature.

I managed to get my mate in england to believe that china was right next to madrid.
So I figure the US ain't the only place.
But there IS a certain "fu'ck the rest of the world" attitude that people have a justified love of parodying. Some Americans are just too compacent with their cushy lives.
Well that's what generations of the greatest fortune-seekers and entrepreneurs fought to create, I suppose............

Buttttt.... this one is in Vegas and hence you get stupid answers. Why don't some of these guys do the filming near MIT or Stanford or some other university? Then you can make the "average' American look like a genius.
