"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.

Yes, that's exactly what I said.

After spending the week questioning about 10 of my male friends, I assert that there is no less chance of entering into a romantic relationship with a girl who is your friend than there is with any girl you just met.

It just seems that way because we tend to get fixated on ones that are already our friends, if we develop feelings.

And, on the contrary, in many cases, it was easier to develop rapport and trust, AND passion with woman they'd been involved with as friends. It is actually EASIER to ignite passion with a friend then with a stranger!

If a man is just "looking to hook-up" then the Friendzone is no place to look... But the only real risk in querying a friend - is the risk.

And Fvck it! NOTHING GROWS WITHOUT RISK!

That whole "Things will have changed between us" line is complete BS and only valid if you act like a complete lame loser afterward and think you can make her feel sorry into liking you... Otherwise, be man, tell her it's "awesome, and you're not sorry you approached her." Laugh it off and tell her, "It's too bad I make a better lover than a friend."

That line worked for me... and a month later she and I are dating.

Hell, you might actually get an awesome girl you can hang with and have sex with out of it! Risk it!
 

"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 turned friends to friends with benefits. They weren't long time friends. When, I was in high school I was a pot head. So, I would meet chicks who also smoked. What turned into smoking buddys turned into fvck buddies.

Some of you may think its cause I had weed and they only fvcked me for weed. But, thats not the case. They would smoke me out! So, I got pvssy and free weed!! :crackup:

A better place, a better time.
I think there's a difference between Friendzone and Friends. Friendzone is a word that inherently has negative connotations.

The point of the Friendzone is that you've already shown her your intentions and been shot down. Alternatively, you like her but have failed to show her this during your window of opportunity. In any case, you've turned her off completely from the idea of ever going anywhere with you.

If you are a friends with a girl you feel nothing for, that really isn't the same as being put into the Friendzone.

I think the point is,
you want her = friendzone
you don't give a **** = friends.

And yes, girls sometimes do develop attraction for their friends, but you're a moron if you want to waste your time chasing after them.
 

"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 think that's true of ANY woman.

No chasing ... but if feelings come up, it's completely lame to not 'grab the bull by the horns'. :)

yea dude i got ljbf'd by a lot of hoes and still ended up f-closing them. just because she says or feels that it would never go further than friends doesn't mean it will stay that way. a girls mind is like the weather.

Great response.

Two totally different things.

For a real life example :

I am friends with my friend's sister. She wants to bone me (unfortunately). Yes, I would like to bone her. Have I made an desperate attempts to and been shutdown? Hell no. All she is is a piece of ass to me and that isn't hard to come by.

Now, let's say I was friends with a gal and I made an effort at friendship in hopes of getting her into the sack. NOW I have successfully moved into the Friendzone.

It's all in how your mind frames the situation and how you go about it. Remember, the one who wants more is always the most open to being hurt. This is why the one who wants less will most often make the other a friend.

The prize/high value mentality. Be high value and they'll be attracted to you but chase them and make them the prize and they'll get turned off.

Even if you are friendzoned you can break out of it over time.
 

"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.

I can't remember where I heard this, but "women are not your friends, they are the enemy, that's why we want to **** them". Many a true word said in jest.....
