"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.

A better place, a better time.
So I was having a conversation with my friend the other day. I said,

"The problem with this place isn't that there's not enough girls around. There's plenty of girls. The problem is that the male to female ratio is so terrible that all the girls are in such high demand, they all think they're ****ing goddesses and therefore consider themselves to be too good for most of us. This, in turn, causes most of them to remain single despite the fact that there's plenty to choose from."

My friend thinks this is a known occurrence with a distinct name. I was wondering if anyone knows the actual term for it.

And also how the **** do you combat it?
 

"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.

Supply and Demand to be technical. But for the fun of creating a new phrase. Female Ego Inflation.

How to combat it: Find different females to flaunt in front of the other females. Let them get jealous and suddenly you become the one in demand. Because all women secretly hate each other.

It's quite understandable they think they are too good for the most of us. They get to choose and hence go for the "best" guy, be it good-looking or whatever.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Its called "Limiting belief".

The best you can do is be a non-needy unaffected by emotions kinda guy, and have a vibe which demonstrates FUN and NON-NEEDYness.

You should ideally shine out among the sea of AFC guys if your vibe is right.

Regardless of the Supply to demand ratio, if a guys doesn't fvcking want anything, is just enjoying the vibe, putting out great positive energy, and giving love to people, nobody in his/her sane civil mind can really fvck with a guy like that.
