"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.

I know one of my biggest issues; is fear of failure. It made me ask for advice a few times on this forum. Now I am not saying I am perfect and don't need advice, it's nice to ask for oppinions. What I am saying that all my best learning experiences have been from crashing and BURNING. I wouldn't have failed if I didn't act. I wouldn't have learned if I didn't fail. But the right mentality is simple; to quote a disney movie (step tha fu(k back before you judge me :D) "faint heart never won fair maiden". Easy, plain as day. So...

Instead of worrying about being perfect with every situation, just act. You have to accept a failure rate before you get good at anything. The "game" is no different than other games, Baseball or Mario Brothers, in the notion that you only get better if you work at it (DUH).

Failure, is inevitable, but you never have to accept defeat. See the difference?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

All the information we get will never be as good as personal experience, especially with failing. With failing, we test ourselves to see whether or not we just give up or we grow some balls and rise up the ladder waiting for the next fall...not as low as the one before. I agree with you

Sweet!

My posts are as much for me to cement the ideas in my brain as it is for some one to read and hopefully flick that light switch on.
