"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.

When you are REALLY confident about yourself,

you need no:

rules
knowledge about attraction between men and women
pickup lines
"special" behaviour
NLP
any tricks to create attraction

Because you are ok the way you are. There is nothing to remove, nothing to add and nothing to hide.

This should be your primary goal. Find your "true self" and learn to become the best friend of yours.

"As long as you are insecure about yourself, ALL YOUR EFFORTS WILL BE FUTILE".

Good luck to all of you.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Yea this guys completely right. Sorry to those of you who are writing all these dating tips down in your notebooks - they wont get you very far at all. Seriously, you have to be completely reliant on yourself, or your just gonna come off as a sketchy awkward character.

i agree to a point... you should be completely confident in your self and also your abilities. However there should ALWAYS be something to add.

I am strongly confident in myself, however i come to theses forums for self improvement, experiences, and self progression.

Knowledge to better myself is something i always strive for. Being "complacant" i feel is doom.

i haven't posted in years, but i had to log on just to say that, this is probably the best thing posted in the tips section within the past few months.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
