"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.

This man is pathetic!

"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.

Is he like "this is what a feminist looks like" and I'm proud of it. Or is it meant to be a joke at feminists?

Either way, pink and gay looking with gay hi, guy looks gay.

Any man that declares himself a feminist does so because of two obvious reasons:

1) Has had bad relationship with women or almost no relationships at all his entire life from being an AFC. I never met a proud male feminist who was good with women. In a sense he lashes out against masculine men because he is jealous of them and by taking down the masculine men, he thinks he can even out the playing field.

2) He gave up. He is beyond AFC and his only conclusion is to be surronded by women who will embrace his pathetic nature as opposed to masculine men who shun this kind of a man.

YOU're pathetic... who gives a damn about him... or this... seriously?

I'd say I'm a feminist (and a masculinist), I suppose it's up to the Internet to decide whether I'm any good with women or not.
 

"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.
