"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 would like to create a new series of posts on sosuave called the "Renaissance man" about the perfect renaissance man. And by that I mean, talented in all areas. I'd like to teach things besides seduction (won't teach any seduction). This site is about creating men, and that's exactly what this will do by discovering talents and instilling values. What do you guys think?
 

"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.

It sounds really good to me. After all, the perfect Don Juan is a real man. What better way to go about becoming such a man.

Since seduction is out, what other things would be taught? Just cusrious whether you're another Doogie Hauser or something else.
 

"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.

Thanks for the positve replies guys. And concernign Francisco d'Anconia, I was thinking on such things as finding your own personal religious beliefs (whatever they are, im very open), better fitness, better knowledge of business, etiquete, philosphy, and tons and tons of things im not mentioning.

And btw, is doogie hauser that doctor on TV (if so i watched that in kindergarten but I completely forgot about him, thanks for reminding me haha)

I'd like to see some posts on dancing and etiquette, not to mention various card games and little bits of trivia. Why wine A is better than wine B or what distinguishes a great picaso from a marginal one.
