"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.

Recently i've started chatting with a few VERY beautiful girls..and the more i realized how great they looked, the more i started feeling like i am falling into this trap of "She looks amazing, how hard will it be to get with her.. how good are my chances comparing to her standards?" This hits you fast and leaves you less secure and confident... so gentelman, and this is a big reminder to all of you, as well as to myself..


Do not let woman's looks affect you

Do not let her looks affect the way you treat her:

If she is a model, great, treat her like a girl.
If she is a stripper, great, treat her like a girl.
If she is an ugly hag, great, treat her like a girl.



Do not be a jerk to ugly girls and dont be a push over to great girls.. keep it the same, and you will not fall into this trap of insecurity.
 

"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.

So true

And the flip side is they tend to be attracted to you when you do treat them like any other girl.

I was never really one to give hot girls compliments upon just SEEING them..... I think i actually despised them more growing up cus they had so much more than i could evr have just cus they were so beautiful.....but now i know how to deal without being a belligerent bastard.

It's all about controlling emotions man, it's weird cus that use to be one of my least concerns even though it was one of my biggest problems

The key is to realize that balance is EVERYTHING.
 

"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.

This is a great point and I'm getting better at this as time goes by. I hope I never stop getting better at this actually.

If you're afraid of girls then you're giving off weak signals. Pretty obvious really.

Wimpiness is poison. Be less wimpy lol.

When I am with a 9 to 10 and I start feeling that feeling, I picture her with about 100 lbs added on, scraggly unwashed hair, poor complexion and it all goes away. I even giggle after I think that and the girl usually asks, "What?" That's usually a great in for some story...
