"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.

Anyone been to Sao Paulo or Rio? I've been planning a trip once I get hold of some cash. Staying in youth hostels. Any tips?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Rio and Sao Paulo are not really Southern Brazil. The states of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul are. Neither of those states get much tourist traffic. That is where the pretty girls come from. They do not come from places like Rio and Sao Paulo.

Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina are a world away from touristy Brazil. The area is very conservative, very white (German, Lithuanian, Polish, Ukraine, Italian), and relatively safe. A friend of mine is from the area and also raves about the surfing.

I think Blumenau has the largest Oktoberfest outside of Germany (even though there is an Argentine town that claims the same). Blumenau is a Germanic town.

Other towns look just like what you will find in the old towns (tourist areas) of Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine. Kinda odd to see such influences so far away. It is a very beautiful area. It is also the only area of Brazil that I would feel somewhat safe in. Sao Paulo and Rio are just too dangerous these days to relax in.

most of the hot chicks you will meet are hookers. Hot hookers, but still hookers. Poverty is high. Watch out for AIDS too. Alot of babes there dont even know they have it.

Just the word BRAZIL immediately gives me a stiffy. I can only IMAGINE how much fun that place would be with beautiful Brazilian women walking around in bikinis all the time and their tanned skin.
