"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.

Cops: 80-year-old kills 81-year-old by grave

Octogenarian gangsta's

TIVERTON, R.I. (AP) — Police say a dispute over an unpaid loan was the motive for an 80-year-old man to kill an 81-year-old man in a Rhode Island cemetery.

Tiverton Police Chief Thomas Blakey says that Edward Acquisto had taken out a "significant" loan in 2011 from a church in Kingston, Massachusetts.

Police say parishioner John Cloud met him June 13 in Pocasset Hill Cemetery to discuss it, and Acquisto shot him to death among the gravestones. Acquisto later led police on a car chase before officers fatally shot him.

Blakey wouldn't say how much money Acquisto borrowed or what he did with it, but he did say Acquisto hadn't repaid any substantial amount.

Acquisto pleaded no contest to manslaughter in 1982 and was convicted of sexual assault in 1981.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Once you hit 80, you stop giving a fvck about dying. My grandparents are like that. It's like geriatric thug life. "You can't kill me. I'm so old that I'm already dead."
