"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.

To me terrorism, the environment and high oil prices are all very big issues. However, the biggest issue today is the destruction that feminism is having on the social fabric of the western world

Lets face it. There are many reasons for a man not to get married. He will likely not get sex, his wife will spend all his money that he makes, his wife can leave him and then take 50%+ of his assets, his wife views his work as his spare time so he comes home from and has to do all the housework etc The only enjoyment a married man has out of life is when he goes on his once a year boys weekend away

Lets also face some facts. Women on average have an IQ 4-5 points lower than men, women are physically weaker than men, women do not have strong temporaments, men are better at business than women. What does this tell you? Women were put on this Earth to reproduce and look after the home and men were put on this world to hunt and gather for the family

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about the calamity. So where I am getting to with this post? There are places in the world where feminism has not infiltrated. By way of example, in rural parts of Eastern Europe, beautiful women behave like women should and make great wives. Question is what happens when you bring one of these women to a western country. Do they instantly become Americanised (Australianised for me)?

Please post experiences of any men you know that have imported brides and what has happened
 

"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 won't get into the subject feminism and the role they should take in this world, but I do agree that most problems in male relationships involve women. It's really not their faults, but it is ruining society.

I suggest never thinking about this topic again. That should increase your overall life satisfaction by double.

Slowly the concept of marriage will become valueless and there will be a stray period.

Once the period lapses, i believe Marriage will regain its former glory.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Sort of like the "out of chaos will come order" argument. I think this is valid and historically seems to be the case, i.e., societies collapse because they've lost their way and renew again in a more proper order. Well probably nothing that dramatic will happen in modern times, but I agree with you that there will be some realignment. The only problem is it'll be so long in happening that it won't have much effect on people today.

Yeh, I do agree with you guys. This is part of some sort of social cycle and will eventually correct itself; albeit too late for us

And it is a symptom of capitalism as well

In the mean time, I wonder how guys have gone with women from the eastern european countryside. Maybe some sort of arbitrage available?

It's sad really, simply because there is a part in me somewhere that wants to believe marriage would be great.

But then I know. It does not work in the world today.

Like the sublime tune ball and chain

Marriage doesn't work in the world to day
It's an Institution that is in decay, and If I had some love to portray...

I could surely find another way!

I've travelled to Eastern Europe the last 7 years to a small village that my father is from. It is like night and day from the western, feminized culture we are suffering in every day. It is a more paternal culture where family and tradition are the focal points. If I was to marry I would certainly pick a girl from that part of the world. My chances of happiness would be much better if I choose wisely.
