"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.

Don't people think you are weird and ask you "who are you here with"

"Oh myself, I like to roll solo"

"Why is that"

"Because I am a Loner"

"Wow, that is so cool"

That's some deep ish right there. Really gives me something to think about. Thanks! :up:
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Interesting Poll Results:

Approximately half of the people who voted are staying home alone because they have no friends or going out alone because they have no friends.

The other half of the people actually have friends.

So 50% of all people are loners like myself?
There's a fine line between loners who are comfortable in their own skin who don't need validation from other people to have a good time and loners who cry woe is me everywhere they go. Be the former.

I work full time and go to school slightly over half time (soon to be full time).

I somehow manage to shoehorn getting dates into all of this. I work weekends, though, so I might just go poon hunting with my roommate.

Going out with friends, and maybe with a HB - I am actually contemplating cancelling the date with the HB because, well, I feel like it..

Hey guys when are we getting dis party started!!!!!!!!!!?????
 

"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.

I tried to bring "Alexander" and "Kim" from my soccer team, they told me "they might show up" and then texted me "Hey I can't make it, see you in practice".

So, at least they acknowledged my pathetic existence,

but I will have to cancel.

It is Friday Night!!! And I am all by myself. Just like every other Friday Night :)

Homework, writing papers, but also find time to go out with my buddy and crash parties. At the parties (or while out), we come accross HB's. When we come across Hb's, we approach them. When we approach them...see where this is going? Haha!

"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.

Until about two hours ago, I wasn't even aware that it was the weekend. Just lucky I hooked up last night or else I might be . . . The Loner too.

Let's see. Stinko De Mayo and the K-Y Derby are coming up. I wonder if The Loner has major plans to buy friends for those events?
