"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.

"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.

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 Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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.

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!
 

"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.

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).

WOW I AM OFFENDED
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
