"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 just realized something this morning while cleaning out my walk in closet. Once every 6 months or so I go thru and goodwill all my outdated, not wearing this shirts, pants, etc.

Here's what I realized. That most women that I've dated that had too much baggage....also had the most CLUTTERED, hold on to everything they've ever worn closets. As if they carried their mental baggage trait over to their physical baggage closet. May not be a scientific reason for this, but I have seen it.
How can you use this knowledge you ask? Well somehow in that C & F starter pack you use, drop a question about how many pairs of shoes does she own. If it's a crazy # (use your best judgement here) then you may have just picked up a clue to her bag count.
The bottom line is that (MOST) balanced women that I've dated were not pack rats unable to cleanse themselves of all their past. The balanced ones went thru their closests from time to time and emptied out stuff that could best be donated to a charity. Mentally they did the same thing. They let go of relationship hurts and pains that were unhealthy for them.

My observation,

"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 am compelled to post. Wonderful observation KC. It got me thinking about my last gf. She had issues with drug use, and as a consequence, ended up moving from place to place in order to "run away" from her issues. However, through all these moves, she kept all her shoes and old random ****. Man, great food for thought. She had something like 20-30 pairs of shoes.

Let's not for forget that correlation does not necessarily imply causation. Some chicks just like shoes, but in my experience with this woman, your hypothesis could prove true.

Interesting...
