"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"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.

Shaming your own kid and putting the video up on FB. A$$hole father just got a new definition.

I'm with Moroder on this one. What kind of a dad would humiliate his son in front of a camera and then put it of facebook? That's some low TNB sh!t right there...Moroder said:

What that father wants and what the kid wants to do are 2 different things. My father didn't want me smoking and drinking. Do you think that stopped me from not doing it? People are independent enough to do what want not what their parents believe they should do.Last of the Alphas said:
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

It's one thing to ridicule him in private. But publicly humiliating your son on the Internet? What purpose does that serve?Last of the Alphas said:

It's as a punishment. The kid is a f@ggot if he wears those jeans. Not saying it needs to be 40 sizes too big, but not tight. That is gay, and it doesn't even feel comfortable.
Everyone has their own opinions though so hey, whatever.
(The Constitution was a bad example though. This nation is a democracy of hypocracy. The people who wrote it said "All men are created equal" while they are whipping their slaves and providing them with poor conditions.)

That is cruel punishment. Especially in this day & age where videos go viral worldwide in hours.
Its poor parenting anyway you slice it.
There are better ways to teach your child something.
Then they wonder why these kids keep getting cyber bullied, and killing themsves.

Wow at times have changed. I still remember the time I told my Dad I wasn't going to take a bath at about that same age... and that's the last thing I remember for awhile. He was right, I was wrong.
Now it's some "abusive" human rights violation to give a son some crap for two minutes...while he laughs... and put it on facebook. Thank goodness I don't have kids or I would almost surely be in jail right now in gynoworld. What delicate little special snowflakes we have created.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Cruel parenting? This is more like "tough love" to me. Kids misbehave mainly because their parents don't step up to put them in their place.
Without proper parenting techniques, kids will become raging narcissists incapable of functioning in society.

"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.
