"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 am excited about starting a Men's Group here locally, which includes at local military base with many young and older men who can benefit from a good Men's Group. We are starting it next month, but we are having a hard time deciding on a name for the group. One that will attract men to get together and discuss the challenges of being men, how to improve yourself, etc. We are really excited.

In any case these are some of the ideas we have come up with, please let me know what you think. We appreciate it.

Men's Group Names:

Back to Men

The Foundation Men

The Foundation Man

Core Men

The Daily Man

Man by definition

Self Confident Alpha

Kindred Men

The Foundation Alpha

Furtherance Men’s Group

Alpha Decoded

Decoding Alpha

The Alpha Creed

Unveiling Alpha

The Awakened Alpha

The Alpha Unleashed

The Resurrected Alpha

Alpha Resurrected

The Valuable Alpha

Inner Alpha Male

The Take Charge Alpha

Just the Right Alpha

The Authentic Alpha

All Things Manly

The Unapologetic Alpha

Alpha Pursued

Embracing Your Alpha

The Purposeful Alpha

The Honorable Alpha

The Mature alpha

The Mature Man
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I would vote for something that doesn't have the word "alpha" in it. Too goofy.
I think Kindred Men would be a good descriptive name, out of the possibilities that you gave.

Lol they sound like aftershaves
 

"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.

No problem.

I do think that the word "Alpha" carries with it too many preconceptions these days. Everyone who reads "Alpha" assigns it their own meaning. Plus, it's showing its age. It's only a shorthand word for a guy who has his sh!t together.

I love the concept of "Unapologetic Male", as I'm always preaching about that attitude here. It really doesn't roll off the tongue, though. It's a bit of an awkward word, thought the concept it carries is great.

Some words and phrases to consider:

Unashamed Male
Unrepentant Male
Remorseless
Bold
Fearless
Resolute

Perhaps a cool logo, in line with my penchant for lack of apology, is the word "apology" with the red circle and slash stamped over it.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
