"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.

France is a nice language because you can use it in so many countries. I can't believe someone likes what they saw in France. Paris is one of my favorite cities on earth. I am a big fan of Hausmann architecture. However, the girls there are really blah. Much too short and plain looking for my tastes. But more power to you if you like them. I must say that they tend to be well-cultured. That is a major plus in my book.

I would agree with Otter that German girls are more attractive than French girls. German women age poorly though (but who cares). In saying this, if you are in Germany and simply want to see pretty girls you should visit Poland. If you are in Poland and want to see prettier girls you should visit Lithuania/Latvia/Estonia. If you still are not satisfied try Ukraine/Russia. If you still are having problems you are probably dead.
 

"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.

LEARN IRISH, HELP SAVE THE LANGUAGE

Actually, learn French. It's much prettier than German, and whoever said German girls are better looking should spend a few days in Paris or Nice. HOOOOOOT
What the hell? Isn't Irish just a dialect of English?

Don't even bother learning Japanese, as a business guy if you want to invest in your own future, learn Chinese aka the Mandarin dialect. China is going to be big down the road. Spanish should be next on the list because it is a common language.

French is a bit more difficult to learn compared to Spanish, if you can pick it up, picking up Spanish is even easier down the road. I have no experience with German. The French they teach in Canada is different and more difficult than the one taught in France :( god damn Quebec

Irish Gaelic is a completely different language from English. It's dying!
 

"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.

By the looks of it everything is getting outsourced to China (probably for the next 10-15 years) so as a CEO, knowing the language would probably help.
Spanish would help too....when talking to mexicans.

The grammar structure of French is pretty easy to pick up like all the romance languages, however pronouncing the words is really difficult. I say learn either spanish or german.
