"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.

Standing out too much?

I feel like I give off the "I'm too good for you" look when i walk into a party where I don't know anyone just by the way i dress, look like, and act.

Last night, me and my buddy rolled up to an apartment party. 2 kegs, Beer Pong, Music, I'd say about 15 girls 20 guys. And girls would look, they get the wrong first impression just by looking at me.

How could i eliminate the "Oh this guys just trying to get some, He think he's some hot sh!t" mentality and just give off that charming special guy sense?

It's hard to explain. Anybody know what i'm talking about?

Money isn't a thing to me, i have a nice car, nice clothes, and sh!t. I never brag or talk about them... What should i do, dress and act like everyone else? I'm trying to be different, stand out etc.
 

"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 dress like I just walked off the beach, not really impressive but i do stand out. Board shorts, tight tshirt, trucker hat, aviator sunglasses, sandals

Just wear wats comfortable for you. It sounds like the chicks sensed your unease wearing that ****, and backed off.

I used to do that too. One part is the way you dress, the other part is the way people percieve you. Sometimes the "i'm too good for these people" look is a mask for insecurity and isn't a "fun" look. You might appear distant and unsocial. THe girls would take a look and think "**** this guy, he's no fun" and move on.

To get over this:
1. Smile more
2. Take your hands out of your pockets
3. Open body language - dont cross your arms
4. Try to socialize/build rapport with every group in the party, THEN choose where to settle down - this basically allow people to get comfortable with you, and if they're at all interested, they'll know where to find you.
5. Laugh
6. Focus on having a good time and meeting new people, and have an 'internal smile' where you FEEL like you're having fun.

If you do these, and make an effort to look decent(not overdone, but not sloppy/dirty) then the chicks will be taking turns trying to hit on you.
