"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.

Paraguayan President, ex Roman Catholic priest, 57 years old has had at least three women come forrward saying that he has fathered children from them. The women seem to range in age from 26 to 39 years old. The youngest one has moved into the Presidential palace with him.

But, here is the kicker:

Many Paraguayans consider the scandal a black eye for both the government and the Roman Catholic Church, to which 90 percent of Paraguayans belong, but oddly enough, it may enhance his image in the "patriarchal, profoundly macho society," political analyst Alfredo Boccia said.

"Lugo has given proof of his virility and that is an inherent attribute ... that a part of the population expects from its leader," Boccia said.
 

"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.

Good! Hopefully they cut the heads off any American media people who try to take their feminist/homo agenda there.

I've spent a lot of time in latin america and that's par for the course. I said this before on here, but I'm pretty sure there is no SOSUAVE for them down there. There is no need for it. But it's making a gradual shift to feminism down there too. I've spent a ton of time with locals in Costa Rican, Panamanian, and Mexican bars, and if a guy didn't have 2 girls pregnant and if his wife didnt have a black eye, he wasn't a man. I'm not kidding. Total other end of spectrum from AFC. Pinche cabrones.

So, presumably, a guy is not an AFC, but not a total a'hole either would have his pick of women down there.

If you had a few dollars you would understand what it is to be Hugh Heffner.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
