"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.

Is there like a glossary of terms for this forum? I've gotten most but I see women being ranked, eg HB8 ... meaning?
 

"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.

HB stands for hot babe. However, it is used generically for any decent looking female. She doesn't necessarily have to be hot. Her hotness or lack thereof is given by the number after HB. It's the classic one through 10 scale. 7 is considered cute and doable. 8 is very cute. 9 is smoking hot. 10 is supermodel perfection. Below 7 can be doable. Just don't tell your friends lol. Finally, these appraisals are best performed sober lol.

So an HB8 is a very cute, bordering on hot female.

This system is not necessarily meant to objectify women, but to put the pickup attempt in context for the readers. If for example, a guy writes that he made out with some HB (and no number is included), the reader will wonder what she looked like.

Ha so anything under 7 would be a MB (moderate babe) and below 5 a UB (ugly). Just kidding.

Thanks.

5 should be moderate cause 5 is the middle of 1 and 10 then anything above 5 is doable in my opinion

pualingo.com and urbandictionary.com are good resources for pickup terminology
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

B+8 = bait so it means "hot bait"

I don't really understand the point of the term, TBH.

But apparently it's still in use
