"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.

Don't worry about it
I heard it's the highest paying degree out of college, any thoughts on this? How hard, job market, yadayadayada. Thanks.
 

"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.

I majored in computer sci, and am working as a software engineer. I make good money - almost six figures. But if I had to do it again, I would major in something else, possibly business or finance. The job market is too unstable - unless, like me, you have great education and experience. And the work gets really boring. You also have to work with a lot of geeks.

Hmm well according to my CIS teacher, he says to major in cis instead of finance or marketing since everyone else is majoring in that and it's more competitive. And why communications. I think I'm gonna minor in that because it seems inteeresting to me but I want to major in something that pays the bills and then some.

CIS is a lucrative field, at least for accounting related professions. I can tell you about the accounting side of CIS.

Many of the Big 4 want CIS majors and would kill for an accounting & CIS dual major. These guys usually become systems auditors for public companies and evaluate ERP systems, for example. The standard cert for this is CISA, check it out here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certified_Information_System_Auditor

Oh, and communications majors are sh!te... i am not allowed to date communications majors any more, those girls are insane !!!

btw anyone notice how communication teachers are all full of themselves and think the communications field is the most important in the world? and assign a large workload because of it? please... the communications school at my university is only set up for kids who couldn't get in to the journalism school.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

That's cool. I was thinking of obtaining another degree in business, as I think I want to phase into finance.
