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.
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.
That is some excessively picture... with this product you can just put on a lighty summer look:Methuselah said:Negative. Think about long and hard man, do you really wanna be grouped into the catagory of men who spray tan? Like these assclowns...

Yeah that's the kind of stuff I was referring to. I used it last summer when I was traveling through Europe, and it was very natural looking. Only problem is getting it under and around your fingernails. Be sure to wash that off as quickly as possible, or you'll get this ugly unnatural orange-ness around around your nails.Treetz said:
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
That picture is hilarious, touche man. As for the topic, my FB uses this "summer glow" by Neutrogena... it's like a lotion but it tans you out after a week and it looks fantastic. Pretty sure it's under 15$ too!Methuselah said:Negative. Think about long and hard man, do you really wanna be grouped into the catagory of men who spray tan? Like these assclowns...
