"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.

Very interesting statistics about fatherhood, marriage, etc.

"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.

I've seen these kinds of statistics before and it makes me wonder, does this:

* 85% of all children that exhibit behavioral disorders come from fatherless homes.
* 90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes.
* 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes.

... vanish when the single parent home is where the FATHER gets the children.

So, do children from single-father homes turn out fine, but from single-mother homes they implode?

Seeings these kinds of numbers makes me think that.

"Judge Hanlon said that awarding exemplary damages would have disregarded the complexities of the situation that confronted Mrs Magill."

What complexities? Being responsible for your own actions?

There's some pretty interesting data over there. Really makes you think about how screwed up our family courts are wrt to being sexist against men. Nothing I didn't already know on that front, but now I know the fallout of said discrimination from reading those statistics.
 

"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.

I agree that these numbers seem to be against giving the kids to the mother. Christian web sites are rarely a reliable source of accurate statistical information.
