"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.

All of my friends are in their 20's (yes, this means I score with older women... because of this site. ha.), and they all went out clubbing. The club doesn't ID, but I decided not to take the chance and went home. Now I'm bored and alone.

Anything else you can think of that sucks about not being 18?

I can name a few.

-no legal tobacco
-no renting apartments, hotels, etc.
-no clubbing
-legally bound to parents's rules
-etc.

At least it's only like half a year away! :D
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Why are you bored and alone? Can't you do anything else but club? That sounds pretty boring.

-no legal tobacco
Boo hoo. You can't get cancer, yellow teeth and a terrible smell, and a hole in your wallet for all that. Cry me a river.

-no renting apartments, hotels, etc.
All right. This you're right to complain about. This sucks.

-no clubbing
Boo hoo. You're missing out on all the skanks and expensive booze.

-legally bound to parents's rules
Not morally bound though.

Life doesn't really start until you get 30k + a year.

But you can sign up and enlist in the army today, and risk your life over in our lovely bases in Afghanistan.

Where do you live? 1962?

Seriously though, 30k ain't too bad if you have no debt and live in a cheap area. Otherwise it won't really get you far at all.
Just an estimate. But I have no children. Only debt is school loans!

Man stop smoking before you can buy cigs yourself. Guarantee you'll get hooked for real.

Kind of sucks, but at 17 I bet you have no clue what's really involved in getting your own place. Yes, it's a hell of a lot better then living with your parents but theres also a lot of responsibility/bull**** to deal with...especially apartments with multiple units.

Haha I'll give you this one. Just gotta grin and bare it for now.


How about the positives?
- Don't have to come up with rent every month
- Don't have to pay electric/gas/tv/internet bills every month
- don't have to pay car payemnts/maintenace
- No real responsibility - you can do whatever you want with your free time!
- You can do something dumb and its "OK" because you're young where as if you got in a few years from now you're expected to know better
- Home cooked meals!
- Mom does all the cleanning around the house
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I've tried to hang out with kids in high school, but that's just it.
I'm beyond my age in wisdom, which is egotistical to say, and these kids literally look like children in my eyes. I can't stand to be around them. All they want to do is vandalize sh!t or smoke weed (I can be okay with the second option on occasion).

It's just boring to me. I'd rather hang with people who have fun in... fun ways.
