"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.

One of my best friends, is suddenly becoming a pimp, and Im too proud and competitive to feel good for him. What should I do???

Thanks!
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I'll confess I tend to have this mindset as well. Not with the best friend business, but just with anyone. I tend to think that all women should be aspiring to be with me :) Anyway, when someone comes in and draws more female attention than I do it seriously p!sses me off. Part of this is natural male competitiveness, part of it is just evil and envy.

But like stonetowers says, do your own thing. There are plenty of women to go around for everybody. Well, pretty much almost everybody.

That's what we call jealousy. It's perfectly natural. Get over it.

Use it as motivation to go out and get more/hotter chicks than him. Please, dont **** block, it really isnt fair.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Hey this happens to me too. And i must confess sometimes its overpowering. But yeah, you must realise that he is your friend. Smile and do your thing. I have a very good friend who gets nearly two times the chicks that i get. But the catch is, they range from HB5 to HB8 and lol, thats where my range starts. I go for chicks only above HB8. So i guess it all depends on knowing what you aim for and how much effort you put in it. Bottomline: be detached. Do your thing.

With that attitude, you will always be a bottom-feeder, and play second banana to your friend, and to more skilled guys than you. Yet, the solution is in your environment.

What's wrong with you. Go find out what he's doing and learn his newly found mad skillz!!!! Most of us here don't have friends who are very good at this game. You have a great opportunity to cut your learning process, so Don't Hate, Emulate!

Well, honestly, I wasn't even talking about a friend. What I had in mind specifically in this case is this new dude at work. It's very clear the HB8s and above are very attracted to this guy, he forms very close relationships with them, and they are always off whispering with him and whatnot. I'm not sure what it is that he's doing other than he manages to form very strong connections with them.

This really shouldn't bother me because I'm in a LTR, and very happily so. But this guy is also in a LTR (although he is clearly cheating on her). In any case, it irritates me that he gets all this attention from the hottest women. I think part of it may be that he is willing to cheat (whereas I am not) so he is sending these signals to them that he will get busy with them.

And the other thing is he is closer to their age - you might note I'm starting to get up there in years now, so that helps him connect with them. I guess the age thing is starting to p!ss me off, and that's part of it. Because I've only recently started to get the feeling that I'm actually getting old enough now that it's becoming a disadvantage for me, whereas I've never felt that before.
