"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.

A confident jerk isn't something you want to be. I went to a school full of confident jerks, guys who held nothing but contempt for me and anyone who didn't live up to the standard they represented. To this day, I can't visualize any of what's taught on this site without recalling how they used it to amuse themselves with my suffering.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I think you're referring to bullies.

Bullies have lots of insecurities actually, the only way they can cover it up and project their anger is to take it out on someone else...preferrably someone they may be jealous of.

There problem was probably insecurity yes. Most jerks are egotistical bas-tards, adn you don't want to be like that. You want to be super confident and playful, but at the same time you have to act human. You can't go around acting like you actually think you're better than everyone else or you will repel people. You have to know you're good, but don't be really obvious about it.... hard to explain.
