"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.

I smoke black and milds and the smell seems to overtake my cologne. For any DJ that smokes, how do you avoid this?
 

"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.

Keep cologne with you, and spray it on you every once in a while. Or stop smoking.

The amount of cologne it takes to cover a black is enough to smother a girl. I hate you wiggers who walk by absolutely REEKING of blacks and Cool Water.

I dont smoke butts anymore but heres what i used to do:

Smoke outside or by a window and use only one hand and position yourself so the smokes not blowing on you.

Wipe a dryer sheet (Bounce really does the trick) on your shirt/hair/hands and wash hands and face if you can.

Carry some gum on you (Orbit Whitening is my fav, gets rid of smoke stains)

Wait 10 minutes before applying cologne if you need it (which you wont).

I know you've heard this before but smoking is bad for you. It no longer has that cool image associated with it and its easier now than ever to quit with the gum or patch (expensive but think long term).

"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.

First of all quit smoking dog rockets !!!!!

The problem is what you are smoking. I smoke real cigars every day, and an hour later i can barely smell it in my shirt.

Now go down to a cigar shop(not a drug store) and get a real cigar.
