"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"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.

i think the one in the blue shirt in the mid is actually pretty cool...but all others have horrible posture.

This reminds me very much of my undergrad days.
Let me just guess, they are engineering students.

Guys, this is why we grow beards.
"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.

I did engineering for my undergrad and there were quite a few cool guys in it. Lots of them pulled regularly.
Now I'm doing a computer science degree (want to get into the data security field) and more than half my class looks like that picture.

They look scared of their penises.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

At least they look quite friendly. And only that counts for me... Plus there are more women left for us Don Juans

I'm just saying that if you have the capability to grow a beard, it doesn't hurt to show off that manly side of you. Some of my cool guy friends can't do it, but they don't have that "I'm a virgin" look plastered all over their bare, shiny faces.spinaroonie said:
These guys look just like the students that go in and out of the Engineering building at my college (one of which is my roommate.) Always awkwardly dressed, no sense of posture or way to carry themselves confidently. They slump over and avoid any possible interaction with these strange "females" that some of their bolder friends attempt to befriend.
But hey, these are the guys who are going to be making BANK, so they'll be the ones laughing at some of us down the line.

They become cogs in the system like the rest of society...They'll working 40 a week the rest of their lives just like you, only difference is they'll have bigger cars. High paying jobs (As in over $100,000 a year) don't make a person rich.JCballin88 said:

Looks pathetic, they need someone to show them how to spruce themselves up. If they all started hitting the gym, got new clothes, and new haircuts it would help a lot for starters.
