"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.

Less attractive guys with great personalities will always have HUGE advantages over attractive guys with bad personalities.

Women may be attracted to you by your looks and give you more auditions, but it is the personality that keeps them.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Remember its hard to be a gentileman, but that doesn't mean it's not fun

True, true. Looks only get you in the door, they can't keep you there. I don't know if I'm abnormal but I don't even find really hot women desirable (I find them attractive, just not desirable) if their personalities are crap. On the other hand I've found women that weigh 190+ lbs with bad skin desirable if their personalities meshed well with mine.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Stink? Deodorant, my friend. Deodorant. Also, find trustworthy female advice on different male colognes.

Bad breath? Breath mints, my friend. Breath mints. (See a dentist if your bad breath is clinical.)

Hmm... I have issue with some of these. For example, acne, I don't believe topical treatments work, and would rather cure the problem nutritionally rather than slashering on creams every bloody day. Too troublesome.

Bad clothes? Hmmm I'm open to suggestions, but not if it's tight or uncomfortable or something I really hate.

As long as it doesn't involve cutting it in any way! Also, I like going a bit without washing it to let the natural oils build up. Not only is it healthier but you can actually feel the difference when you wash it. If you wash every day or two it's just usual.

Hmmm I like my natural musk... perhaps I can make it smell better through a change in diet?

As for breath, same as above. Though I'm not sure mine's that bad.

I rated very very poorly on hotornot.com, and women often scowl and pull up a bit when I smile at them at a stoplight...
But...

I have dated women that other guys have said, "you're with her?" but in a good way...

Remember that ugly/beauty is rather subjective, but that it's also a "numbers game" - there are attractive women out there that are/will be attracted to a guy that isn't "all that" but there's something in him that's a draw...

Looks are only a small fraction of the whole package. You have to have tons of personality traits that are attractive. Personality is more of the deciding factor for women.
