"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.

Just had to pop in to give you this quick warning. Guru1000 comes like a wolf in sheep's clothing. It looks like he wants to help you but his threads usually end up in arguments and put downs from him. His agenda is not to build you up but to tear you down and then to make it look like its your fault for not following his advice. Ask him a simple question and you'll get a very complicated sophistical, irrelevant answer designed to evade your question. He is a monster and a sociopath. You have been warned.

A typical Guru1000 thread goes something like this:

"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.

This is my last post under this username. With max rep points I have gone as far with this character as I'm going to go as I did with my previous incarnation Sylvester The Cat. So as I take a bow and leave you as smileyface let me leave you with this final post:
Be a man of your word and go away; stop acting like a child.
 

"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.

angry kid got his feels hurt. Time for him to tantrum.
 

"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.

More sosuave drama, great.

When you start from ground zero, you create whatever the hell you want to create out of yourself. Granted, I still don't see how he tears me down because I understand what transcention is though. Perhaps you are too narrowminded? Or ignorant? We could say that you just like to start drama on internet forums too, simply because you're bored. Especially how you even posted a link to prove that this isn't your first time denouncing someone else.

Also, what the **** does your opinion matter to us? Why should it? And what have you personally done to give back to the forum?

You suck.

G1000 is a prolific poster who tries to help guys in his way. Not everyone likes his philosophy but I suspect he would take Voltaire's position on that matter. Definitely a huge asset to the community.

Actually you can use a text-to-speech device and listen to his posts, but then again when smiley warns you that you shouldn't listen to him then you have to nod your head and listen to other stuff.
 

"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.

Give examples. Why can't you look through is post history and show us what you mean. When you make a claim you need to back up your claim with evidence. Not post a youtube video.
