"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.

Nancy Pelosi, showing a complete lack of decorum and the petty nature of leftism, rips up her copy of the State of the Union address:

It's time for the nation to get past these childish shenanigans and rally behind President Trump. Let's get back to the business of making America great again.....

It's funny how political arguments were banned on this web site during the impeachment, but now seem to be permitted that it is over.

Trump is trying to have Bolton thrown in jail right now. As soon as he gets away with one crime, he commits a bigger one. In the unlikely event he wins in 2020, polling behind every single top dem candidate at this point, he will just get impeached again.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I wouldn't be surprised if we were entering a period of time where nearly every president gets impeached. Considering how divided the two parties are, and how impeachment is basically just a political tool now.
 

"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.

Should the president be allowed to use extortion and cheat in elections?

Impeachment, much like the "racist, sexist, homophobia, transphobia etc" rhetoric has essentially lost all meaning due to the left's constant wolf crying. If they could impeach Trump for sending mean tweets, they'd do it.

Lol, not getting drawn into that discussion, sure way to get the thread locked.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Actually Forum rules still state no politics. When a political thread becomes an opportunity to spout political propaganda to others and not have an open discussion, then it becomes objectionable and
