"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.

Ok, guys, I gottta ask.

I see more and more men preceding their posts with this mysterious "meh" word, and I don't fully understand the meaning of it. Obviously I'm from an older generation, but this "meh" preamble seems kind of femminine to me. In other words, it has a subtle flavor of weakening the strength of a statement. If I'm missing the point of it please correct me.

Meh, I could be wrong in my impression of it, expecially since I'm not even sure what it means.
 

"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.

ya i think i'd lean more towards "Whatever".
 

"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.

But "meh" definitely has feminine roots, it's sisters include "jk" and "lol".

I hate instant messaging and cell phones, they are retarding the king's english.
 

"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.

SARGE
The act of explicitly going out and picking up women using pick-up and seduction techniques.
I already knew that.

I'm asking what the letters stand for. And if they don't stand for anything in particular, why is it called a "sarge"? Just seems like an odd, random name to me.
:confused:

This post is truth.

"meh" means you've just handed your balls over to some woman, and you don't care.

When you text, your balls shrink too. Any online myspace lovin' is shrinkage as well.

Our information loving society is for women, and those women need our sacks to shrink to fit.
