"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.
What do you rate this chick? 1-10
- Thread starter Tornado2
- Start date
"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.

I'd be willing to bet that most guys here who found the CNN girl attractive (8-9), would rate your girls the same as I did. Why? Because those girls exhibit more masculine facial features (strong jawline - high cheek bones etc.).
Most guys will find your girls more attractive (as most guys are of average masculinity), but guys who exhibit more masculinity naturally will find the CNN girl attractive.
Take it for what you will, but is the most natural explanation for attraction and variations thereof between the sexes. It's really surprising how true to form it is.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

And I'd give Alicia Silverstone the same rating, for the same reasons. Plus, I'm into blondes. And those lips. Damn.

Swoop, that girl from Mystery's website is probably the hottest I've even seen a picture of in months.
The news girl, man she is not very good looking - her face alone looks aged poorly, like it's been caked by too many llayers of makeup which has then been covered with more makeup to hide the aging. Plus, her smile is weird, it looks like she has something in her eye. I give her an HB6 assuming she has a decent body. I'm not extremely picky either, but she loses a lot of points for being too old for me.

People look for the opposite in a partner. If a guy is very masculine, he looks for a woman who lacks it, looks wise and personality. Also as he said, guys who aren't as masculine dig the chicks who have masculine features and personality.
And yes - the chicks you rated low I would as well.

Absolutely beautiful.
Remember, never defend your tastes. If the girl is absoluely beautiful to you, that's all that matters. I have been attracted to girls that are realistically a 5 but to me, they are 8. It's something special about their features that just captivates me. I wouldn't care if someone thinks she is normal. In fact it might even be a good thing.
"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.

That's the biggest load of crap i've read all day.
Your masculinity has nothing to do with how you rate women. Like I keep saying over and over and over again each of us has a preferance as to what we like and thusly we each rate women differently. A 10 to me could be a 2 to you and vica versa. Some times we'll agree as to level of attractiveness but how it's reached can not be disected or explained.
Everybody get this through your f*cking heads now because I'm not going to say it again.
YOU CAN'T ARGUE TASTE! Asking other people whether they think a girl is hot or not is an arbitrary waste of time! If you think a girl is smoking hot and nobody's impressed GET OVER IT! Not like their opinion should count anyway because they won't be dating the same people you will anyway. The only reason you should really use a rating system is to show us the gravity of the situation like if you're going after a HB9 that usually means you're really interest/attracted to her where as in another situation if you saw a HB4 you obviously weren't taking her very seriously.
I could go on but I think I've made my point...and although I said I wouldn't i'll probably end up saying it again in a month or so

the CNN reporter?
she's okay I've never seen her in person (which by the way is the ultimate determinate especially when someones job is to be on seen as in this case) but like I said it doesn't matter because you can't argue taste. Didn't you learn that in highschool?
Think of girls as motorcycles. If I like street bikes and you like cruisers there's nothing you can say that would make me like cruisers, they're just not to my taste. Infact if I like street bikes and you like another type of street bike there's still no way you could argue that either because again it's simply not to my taste.
Are you getting it yet? It's all in your mind it has nothing to do with what myself or anybody else thinks. Seeking approval from anybody else about what you personally like is stupid
The female shown looks like your typical TV anchorwoman. So much makeup that I really have to wonder what she looks like in person. Plus, she looks like she should be home raising her two 1/2 children.
