"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 few months ago I saw an article on Neil Strauss and his book 'The Game'. There is a photo of what he looks like before he became a pickup artist, I was absolutely amazed that world renowned pickup artist 'Style' used to look like a derelict.

I've uploaded the pic (page2_2.jpg) and linked it on modblog for anyone that hasn't seen it before.

It definately makes you realise that anyone should be able to make positive improvements to themselves.

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.

I don't know how to access the pic, but I've seen it before and it shows that looks do matter to some extent. He's not a great looking guy, but he looks well groomed and more modern, which makes all the difference.

Now imagine if he was to pack on a load of muscle and get ripped. He'd be unstoppable!

A lot of people confuse looking good with being genetically handsome, but making the most of what you have can make all the difference.

LOL what you mean he'd be unstoppable?? He's ranked the best in the world, that gives him a tiny bit of credit dont you think?
