"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'm thinking of moving West. My city criteria is that it have good growth in jobs and wages (and popluation). I prefer a large city, but will accept metro of less than 1m if there is good stuff there. I found a census site that gives breakdowns of m-f ratios by age.

http://www.censusscope.org/us/metro_rank_age_percent_female_2000.html

But, what I need to know is the HB ratio.

I'll give you examples:

St. Louis: 1:30 (one out of 30 is really hot.)

New Orleans: 2:10

Washington D.C.: 4:10

L.A: 5:10

Buenos Aires: 5:10

Melbourne: 5:20

Miami: 4:10

Boston (during school year): 7:20
Boston(when school is out): 2:20

These ratios are based on daily encounters while out and about around town: walking the boulevard, driving down the street, in CBD's, at the grocery. True, every town has its share of UGs, but some are worse than others.

Anyone know about Salt Lake City, Denver, Boulder, Reno...??
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

New Orleans - 7:10 based on definitive scientific research and conclusive tests conducted by independent agencies.

By the way, N'awlins is in the South - y'all Westerners can stay away.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
