"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 don't know what it is like for you other cubicle jockeys like me that work in a building of 400 plus co-workers

Everytime I get inside or out of a lift I can feel the natural order of things that I am supposed to let the woman/women get in/out first.
Its just kind of expected and both theirs and my bodylanguage let it happen naturally.

But I am thinking now, what the fvck - why not run an experiment. These bytches get paid no more or less than me for doing the same job (at least on my floor), they have all the same workers rights as me - lets see what happens if I just get in and out of the lift first - just to observe their reaction.

Anyone else tried this?
 

"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.

I'm not sure I see what you are trying to get out of this. Is it just a simple social experiment? Or are you expecting these women to start wanting you because you are the only one that doesn't let them in the elevator first?

Want me? I hope not - most of them are butt ugly lard-arses.

No mate - I am just thinking aloud. I guess it just annoys me that it is just EXPECTED that I will make way for them.

Why the fvck should I?

I see your point, but I feel like it is something that is such a minor issue, you could end up causing more harm than it is worth.

It seems like it's bothering you more than it should...

The only reason you let a woman in or out of a lift first is to check out her fine behind.

If it's a hideous behind, you get in and out of that lift first!
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

No mate, not "bothering" me.

Most things relating to women are "minor" - being broke or dead, that would be major.

Its just a post on a forum.

I've been noticing lately how women always expect men to defer to them and get out of their way. Lately I have tried just walking toward them as it they're not there (for instance, forcing them to walk on the RIGHT side of the sidewalk, as a courteous man would).

It's funny to see how shocked some of them look when they realize I'm not going to get out of their way. I have just disturbed the natural order of the universe!

At fertilization, does the sperm seek the egg or the egg seek the sperm? Why?

Funny thing. Where I work, there are a lot of employees, and we have elevators. But I've never noticed any sort of protocol or order that people get in and out of them. I know "ladies first" is considered polite, but I've never seen that being considered around the elevators. Maybe we're just not a very polite bunch.
 

"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.
