"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.

If I have a girlfriend, should I be able to tell her anything?

That I'm doing self improvement etc...
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

No way man. I never had a girlfriend, but it sounds like a stupid idea to me. Nothing good can come from it. I don't tell girls anything personal anymore.

NOOOOOO You aren't a woman babbling on and on about everything going on in your life. Keep a few things for yourself. Your current GF may be your future enemy-don't give her extra ammo.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Take it from me, regardless of people saying 'its ok if its a quality women', the less you say and show is better. Keep your mouth shut if ever in doubt.

Everywhere you want to be.... I'm like a Visa card
Don't kill the mystery bro. There are some things she just doesn't need to know. And if she asks, no one said you had to give her a serious answer.

When you DO actually tell her things, it should be few and far between. Like a bread crumb trail leading her to "the real you". Draw her closer and closer like that, just make sure the trail never leads anywhere, lol.

Law 32: Play to People's Fantasies
The truth is often avoided because it is ugly and unpleasant. Never appeal to truth and reality unless you are prepared for the anger that comes from disenchantment. Life is so harsh and distressing that people who can manufacture romance or conjure up fantasy are like oases in the desert: Everyone flocks to them. There is great power in tapping into the fantasies of the masses.

No matter what a woman TELLS you about opening up, expressing your feelings and being communicative, always remember, they NEVER want full disclosure.

I will sometimes discuss problems I am having with my girlfriend, but if something is really bothering me I won't let on how much. Basically it's not a good idea to portray yourself as being weak in any way, because women like strong men.

I definitely wouldn't discuss any "self improvement" type of thing. As others have said it can kill the mystery and she may not understand your motives. My girl knows I work out for instance, but doesn't really know why. Obviously there are many reasons and benefits - she can use her imagination. She should see the end results of your self improvement, but not what goes into it. Instead, just have fun with her.

Watch the movie "Black and White" (2000), and observe how Claudia Schiffer reacts to boyfriends who "open up."
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Maybe I read the question wrong or my interpretation will differ slightly, because I've always subscribed to the notion of:

Be able to tell her absolutely anything, but do NOT tell her absolutely everything.
