"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’ve noticed time and time again, once you drop a gf hard (and according to her, out of nowhere) she eventually emerges victorioulsy with some poor AFC in her jaws, usually singing odes to the nice guy even though it’s you they want more than anything else. They will still try and make you jealous, will still try and make you chase, so she can get some validation - and you know why. Women are far worse at dealing with rejection than men. Use that to your advantage. An ex that's in a relationship with an AFC, while still having feelings for you, can be easily turned into a FWB. The secrecy of it will add extra tingles.

"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.

Excellent post.

Also.. there is nothing more powerful than NC (No Contact). It is truly the atomic bomb of the dating world. Anytime you can't get a woman to act right, NC will pull the rug out from under her feet and devastate her.

Some men are afraid of looking "butt hurt" but that is a load of crap. Whining, b!tching and arguing with a woman is "butt hurt". Ignoring her existence is REJECTION. And its devastating to women (even if they don't like you).

It attacks the 4 main core weaknesses of the modern female:

1. Her need for validation
2. Her need for control (access to you when she wants it)
3. Her need to "know stuff" (ever wonder why women always want to know where you are and what you're doing?)
4. Her need for a happy ending or "closure" (Walking away on good terms and remaining "friends")

NC is the most powerful weapon a man has. Simply doing NOTHING because a girl is not worth the time and effort. The ultimate insult to a woman is.. "you are not important". :yes:

Great thread.

Was about to start a thread of my own about how women have a much much longer memory than men. Sure, we get oneitis, too, but women I think get it longer and much more strongly even if they've seemingly moved on and have their "needs met".

Recently I've run into a couple of women I disappeared on... not necessarily an intentional NC, just I had better options or wasn't that interested. I happened to run into one chick at a bar where she was celebrating her birthday. This was after about 8 months since we hooked up once. I wished her happy birthday on facebook earlier that day. Anyway, she runs up to me and is like "you remembered my birthday!" and then when I was leaving (I was perfectly OK with just leaving without saying bye) "thanks for coming."

Funny thing is, it wasn't even a sarcastic "thanks for coming." She actually was trying to convince herself that somehow I knew she'd be at this bar all the way across town and I was coming to her party.

Women are a trip.

Girl's onetis is tougher because they have to find a better man to get over it. All we have to do is find a hotter chick.
Hypergamy backfires.
 

"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.
