"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.

Who was your favorite president, and why?

Me? Benjamin Franklin. He discovered electricity, and he's on the 100 dollar bill. Not a coincidence.
Aaaah...yes. The US educational system at its greatest....
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Definitely the two non-Freemason Presidents, JFK, and Lincoln. It's NO MISTAKE why they were both assassinated....

Create Reality. While they were drafting the constitution, and at the constitution convention, Franklin was very old and had declining health. He was too old to become a president. Maybe if under the Articles of Confederation there were presidents, he would have been elected. But, there weren't. He was just too old to run for president. I believe the constitution was drafted in 1787? Franklin as you can see died in 1790.

Jimmy Carter. I'm sure he would have discovered electricity too if President Franklin hadn't already.

Bush and Clinton are Freemasons?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Yeah public primary and secondary schools over here aren't the best; many are funded enough but the teachers are too afraid to hand out some punishment when necessary. Higher education is great though if people take advantage of it.

Back to topic: Favorite president of mine is Lincoln, and Washington second.

Not a JFK fan at all. Seriously, he and his brother came up with the bright idea of putting a bunch of disgruntled Cuban ex-pats on boats, giving them some guns and a crash-course military boot camp, and then sent them off to "invade" Cuba and depose of Fidel Castro. Of course they were all decimated because Castro had something called an army; US military support wasn't present because it wasn't "supposed" to look like a US operation...but somehow hundreds of boats coming from Miami doesn't look suspicious at all. JFK was a great public speaker and had a hot wife, but wasn't the best leader. If he wasn't assassinated, he probably would have just ended up as a minor footnote in US political history instead of a big figure.

Old Hickory was a douche bag.

FDR was the man. Lincoln and Jefferson also.

Didn't the CIA do that whole cuba thing without JFK's knowledge??

FDR: socialist tyrant that brought us modern-day liberalism.

Lincoln: anti-States rights tyrant. Slavery was a non-issue and the emancipation proclamation only applied to confederate slave states.

My favorites:

Washington, Jefferson and hopefully Ron Paul!

I agree, "Honest Abe" was the best.

Alot of historians will tell you Warren G. Harding was one of the worst.

Weird guy on internet makes a crappy attempt to insult me by calling me a "douchebag" (whatever the hell that is).

"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.
