"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.

You respond by saying "Look. Can you work out well when someone is talking to you?"??

If you respond like that, you're are asking for trouble. If you don't want to workout, kindly tell them you are in the zone and can't be disturbed. Don't desrespect someone.

She's the one that brought up the drama by disrespecting him. All of his responces indicated that he doesn't want any trouble, and doesn't want to deal with her any more

You're gonna get your ass beat one day if thats how you really are.
Are you so stupid that you can't read the post in context to save your life? By saying "rude and critical", I was referring to everything after the "don't have an attitude" part, which is disrespectful of ME, and if you or anyone else pulled that sh!t, you would be bruised and bloody before you knew what was coming. Read the damn post in context next time, unless your obviously-low IQ prevents you from doing so.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

I'm glad you didn't take her ****.

If she didn't want to be bothered she could have been tactful or why the hell doesn't she wear headphones like 90% of the women at gyms?

This reminds of a girl I dated. One time I showed up early and she gave me **** and called me rude for showing up early. The whole night went bad.

I never went out with her again. She would contact me from time to time, but certain things are nonnegotiable. It was my friends wifes sister.

Let us know what happens next time you see her. I would talk to other girls and get them laughing and let the ***** see it.

Better yet I'd bring a hottie friend to the gym to workout with you next time. Joke and have her laughing all the time during the workout.

The word "disrepsect" is a very powerful world when dealing with women like that. That is the one thing they are afraid of.
What, bad spelling? Ho-ho, high five, ok just kidding :D.

Does it really matter how he "handled" the "situation"? He said what was on his mind at the time, that's it. No shame in that, kudos.

Well, she has a point. You started it the wrong way saying some odd sh1t. I mean, WTF, you don't open girls while they do their sets! And not with crap like that (trying to get them to smile, not be uptight). You blew it totally. Next time be smoother. Calibrate what you say. At least wait for them to have a pause between their sets.

And don't go any further when she doesn't want to talk with you. Just end the interaction smoothly:

HB: "Look. Can you work out well when someone is talking to you?"
DJ: Haha, yeah, i like to chat while i do work out. Ok, you can't, so i won't bother you more. Have a nice work out ;)

But the situation exploded in your face. You handled that part well, like everyone has pointed out.

Why is it such a great feat to stand up to a sexy snobish b!tch in a skimpish outfit at a gym. :confused:
 

"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.

Exactly, if this was a dude instead of a chick...would Frank be bragging about standing up to a 5'3" 110 lb person dressed like a flamer?

Calm down buddy, everythings gonna be alright. It would be unfair to call you out at this point, since its pretty obvious you were having a fit of roid rage when you wrote that last post.

I would highly recommend you limit your physical threats to internet forums such as these unless you like the taste of elbows. These days lifting ability does not equal fighting ability, and I doubt any respectable BJJ/MMA/MT institution is gonna keep you as soon as they find out what you're really like.

Wow... obviously your the idiot. First of all there is no such thing as "ROID RAGE" it's made up, ppl get aggresive cuz they have more muscle and testastrone. Roid has nothing to do with one's behavior it's all propaganda cr*p just like the anti-weed commericals (I don't do roids or weed.) Lifting ability doesn't EQUAL fighting ability... I've kicked a "big" kid's ass who could bench 200 lbs and squat over 300, it's all about knowing how to fight.
Metal Fortress' points are perfectly valid, if you are concentrating on something and someone interrupts you u tell them to leave u alone, if they don't then you have the right to make them leave you alone. In this case she did ask him by asking the quetion she assumed that it was COMMON SENSE that ppl don't talk while they're lifting weights, but he didn't get the hint so it escalated. It was his fault for approaching her if he KNEW SHE WAS A B*TCH and in middle of a set WTF!? these ppl piss me off so much cuz distractions leads to injury. Why are u approaching at the gym anyways? u go to the gym to lift not to waste time and flirt. There's a million other places to flirt if this is your first time "standing up" for yourself then congratz... cuz it meant you had self-esteem issues.

Then explain your last post.

All she had to do is say "I can't talk while im working out". She brought the humiliation upon herself.
WTF what needs explanation in my last post? She actually IMPLIED that she wants to be left alone by saying "What kind of inconsideret idiot would talk to anyone while I'm lifting weights" This is basically what she said NO she didn't say those exact words BUT unless your socially clueless like yourself NORMAL ppl would have gotten the HINT from what SHE SAID and would have just left her alone.

Anyway my argument was against the guy hitting on that stuck up b*tch at the gym. MOST OF US go to the gym to LIFT not socialize/flirt if HE KNEW that she takes her lifting seriously Why the F8ck did he bother approaching her in the first place? it's like going to a street filled with muggers and expecting not to get mugged. If you don't comprehend this then you're a total idiot and deserve to be shot in the face... twice.

This isn't a flame war look it up it's merely a DEBATE. If it was a flame war I would have made fun of your small dysfunctional pen*s already.
 

"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.

I dunno man, you seem pretty worked up.

Here, instead of debating, I'm sure this is a much more productive way for you to spend your time.

You probably would have been more successful if you approached her when she was stretching. What exactly were you trying to prove? I do admire your courage though. You should never be afraid to approach women but there is a time and place for it.
