"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

The running of the bulls: Would you go?

Oh boo hoo, you could get hurt running with the bulls.

Realize that you could die while going to work in the morning. You could die in your sleep. You could die eating lunch from a restaurant. You could die at any time in your life.

If you really want to run with the bulls, do it. At least what's going to kill you is right behind you instead of God knows where. Having said that, when I get some money I plan to do it before I die.
 

"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.

Running with the bulls is the stupist **** Ive ever heard of.

If all you guys are so tough and want to show how hardcore you all are, why dont you go to war or some**** like that. Or would that be a little too dangerous?

So you are saying that inlisted men are fighting just to prove they're hardcore, huh?:rolleyes: Is that why you joined up? You are in the service, aren't you?

I dont know bc someone asking on the internet and i answering on the internet would not be accurate as to what i would really do... right here i might say oh hell yea any day lets go!!! when in reality if im there with the bulls about to be let loose i might change my mind.

I dont think anyone can say until theyre theyre there.

That idea is about as bright as trying to cross the Belt Parkway in NYC during rush hour. Same premise.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I never said that, but if its closeness to death that your searching for then why not join armed forces.

Why do you think Im inlisted?

Just assuming by the way you were speaking about going to war and killing to prove someone was hardcore. So what do you do? Are you hardcore?

I hate bull running or fighting...it's just lame. Fight someone else in a match in a ring...be a man, go freefight...or whatever.
I don't dislike bull running because it is dangerous (hell...I drive motorcycle and sometimes drive 150+ mph (250+ km/h), but hurting animals like that...is just lame.

But a bit more ontopic I guess:

You only lived if you do what you wanted to do. (or at least a few of those things).

No, I was just giving you the benifit of the doubt since I don't believe anyone else thinks so anyway.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Well that's not too difficult since the traffic is many times at a dead stop during rush hour in NY.
