"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.

Here are some pictures from the trip I just finished (Amsterdam and Egypt). Some are better than others - while I tried to keep away from taking "snapshots", sometimes I couldn't help myself and just took it anyway. I edited them down so you wouldn't have to wade through random crap... Let me know which ones you think are best - my favorites (and what I'm thinking of adding to my portfolio) are below the link to the photo gallery:

Awesome photography. You are very talented. I wish I could have been there.

Man, I need to get out of America for a few weeks.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Can you share your experiences and reactions? How did you like egypt, what was wierd/ different.

For the pics, i would love to see a human in one of those sphinx fotos to see the size comparison. I cant believe people 3000+ years ago were building these great monuments, the emprerors, the outrageous god worshiping, the gladiator fights... that is where we belong, not in our plastic SUV's with morgages and dead end jobs!

I want adventure, i want glory, i want to live the life and tell about it as if it was a great legend! What are we going to impress our kids with.. "You know, your dad went to Cub Foods today, all by himself!"
