"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

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

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near 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 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.
