Some chick I've been talking to recently told me I had a "weakness of character." She wouldn't explain what the hell she meant and I don't see what I did to deserve this comment. But what does a "weakness of character" actually mean? What was she trying to imply?
"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.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
In hindsight, yeah, I should have said something like that, but I didn't understand what she was implying. She didn't say it in like areally mean way or anything, but I just couldn't figure out why she was saying that. I knew that term meant something negative but I couldn't figure it out.
For me to say "you have a weakness of character" out of the blue, is the same as saying "theres gold in them there hills". It begs the obvious question "...where?".
What were you talking about at the time? Did you express an opinion about something that she didnt agree with? Again, "shut you're beak woman!"

We were talking about school and finsihing up and all, and I talked about how I had gone by to talk to some of my teachers about my grades. She said something about me having "weakness of character" and that people like teachers and I guess others in power like that would not respect me for this. She's someone I'm hoping to date (or was) so now I'm not sure after that comment.
I think you're right about the "shut your beak" response though.

"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.
Never underestimate the power of "shut your beak". It is funny, insulting, disarming and totally unexpected.
Im not sure she understands the term "weakness of character" either, by what you are saying here. Talking to your teachers about your grades is quite a normal thing to do.
Ironicaly, her using this phrase to put you down in some way, for doing something completley normal, shows "weakness of character".
Go figure

You are weak if you do not stand up to your values, if you tolerate someone abusing you, if you do not have perseverance to endure under difficult circumstances, if you cannot face up to adversity, if you are not honest, if you do not have self control, ...
By going to your teachers to obtain some answers regarding your grading, you are on the contrary demonstrating that you are strong, that you will stand up to your rights, that you demand answers to unfair grading. It keeps the teachers on their toes and they will know that you have zero tolerance for unfair grading.
