"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'm probably the biggest feminist in the world. I want women to earn atlest twice as much money as men do, actually I want them to earn so much more that it isn't even any point for me to get a job. I'd just sit at home eating cheetos and mooching off my girlfriends.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Thats when you tell her you are too, and compliment her ass.

Hehe this reminded me of my last girlfriend of two years. Great girl. Funny as hell. But in the end, the long distance thing was too much for me. Anyways she told me she was a feminist. When asked what feminism ment to her, she basicly said she wants to controll her own life, make her own decitions, career, education etc and not be grounded to the kitchen sink like a 1950's housewife. If that's feminism to them, then I have no problem with women calling themselves feminists. They don't know what it is, but like to throw labels around cause it's empowering them and giving them an identity.

Same thing with styles like the feminine man (metrosexual). In the beginning, only homosexuals were metrosexuals. Then it became increasingly popular and reached a peak. Slowly it's dampening and its going back to more masculine ideals.

In the end, it doesn't really matter. We are a product of or parents. Ritch parents, rich kids. Broke parents, broke kids. Happy parents, happy kids. We model our parents in one way or another. Females have allways had gender roles and males have allways had gender roles no matter wich popular labels are thrown around. Humans and animals alike, we have instincts.

Crimson is making a good point, based off of the Seductive Reasoning.
I make this point quite often when i get into feminism conversations.
