"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.

The south was no longer part of the Union, therefore it had no right to Fort Sumter as it was the property of the United States of America, not the Confederate States of America. For example, for American soldiers in the south to join the Confederate army they had to surrender to the Confederacy and then enlist in the Confederate army.

And read Alexander Stephens's Cornerstone Speech...it is quoted above. Alexander Stephens was the Vice President of the Confederacy and he states himself that slavery was the main reason for secession.

The South adopted the "Lost Cause" mentality after the war which a lot of people still adhere to today. Basically, the South tried to justify their reason for secession to not appear like they were the aggressor. Namely, they changed their reason for secession to economic problems with the North to save face. By doing so, they tried to support a moral image of the South. In the end though, it was all a facade.

Alexander Stephens is a perfect example of the "Lost Cause." After the war he changed his stance on what caused secession. And if you read his cornerstone speech, he said plain and clearly the reason was slavery. After the war he changed the reason to economic sanctions.

It was all a ploy to make the South look good after defeat. It is all a lie.
 

"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.

Alexander Stephens doesn't speak for the Confederacy.

"The south was no longer part of the Union, therefore it had no right to Fort Sumter as it was the property of the United States of America"

That doesn't explain the fact that the North's basic premise was wrong, which was that the Southern states had no right to secede from the US, when in fact they did.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
