"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.

Smiling too much?

I've often wondered how much smiling is too much? I know a smile is like a beam of sunshine, but if you smile too much you look like an uber dork.

I do pretty well with girls and I notice I smile a lot, not like all the dam time but whenever Im either being sarcastic, telling a joke, or generally making her laugh. Basically whenever she's laughing I smile. Sound like too much? Just right? Not enough (doubted)?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Dude I'm the king of smiling. Like literally if anyone looks at me i'll smile at them. I remember one time a cop pulled me over and I was smiling though trying not to and hes like "whats so funny" I can't count the ammount of people that have told me I smile to much. But its usually a positive reaction. Its better than looking like a hard ass all the time.

i smile a lot, too, but that doesn't mean it's a good thing. I think the op may have a point.

Its definately better than not smiling enough, though.

Hell yeah, smile as much as you can. Think about the coolest guys you know. They ALL smile a lot. I don't think there's too much thing as smiling too much. I don't know where this "stand in the corner and look tough" thing came from, but a lot of guys do it. Oh well, more chicks for us! :-D
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I wish I had this problem. For me, it's a constant struggle to smile...atleast more often.

One of the most natural players I know smiles a lot when he's with girls. So it can't hurt your game.

If the smile is natural, then it will give off the positive energy behind it. Smiling is contagious, and says nothing but you are confident and comfortable in your current position (again thats if it's NATURAL).
