"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.
Whats the Most heart wrenching pics you ever seen

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
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.
If you want GUT WRETCHING try looking for Two Girls, One Cup- that's currently the most disgusting, gnarliest video on the internet.
Even shock-proof Joe Rogan had a hard time watching it!
WARNING- Not for the faint-hearted.

On the beach in Surfer´s, Australia.. Little japanese guy, about 5 or 6 y.o., standing beside his parents, both all bloated and shYt from water, both drowned trying to pull him out of the 3 m high waves. Paramedics worked at them for qute some time, but...
Picture from hell.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

dont know if this is true but from what I have heard the person who photographed this commited suicide a few months after this photo hit the front page of, I think it was national geographic or something like that.
The kid in the photo was walking to a town a few miles away for food but never made it.

I did some searching on that Skel and it seems it probably is true.
What I found said a young photographer taking pictures regarding the famine in Sudan won a Pulitzer prize or something for it and then a few months later he became despondent and committed suicide.
Just goes to show if you aren't mentally hardened and gaze into the abyss straight away it will consume you.
The guy in my guess was simply too young and probably had not had enough life experience and familiarity with real life horrors to be properly desensitized to this stuff for his own mental survival.
Anyway as for the most heart wrenching pictures I've ever seen well one is real and one is from a movie.
1. JFK autopsy photos.
2. The famous scene from Platoon where Elias gets gunned down by the VC and has his arms up in the air looking to be saved.

i think when they say heart wrenching they don't mean disgusting.
in the early part of the war, when the terrorists' first video of cutting someones head off... i watched that. 'heart' wrenching and pretty gut wrenching also.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Most of these pictures here are really heart wrenching, but that 9/11 picture with the guy jumping out of the WTC made me laugh. Maybe because I have a morbid humour. Thanks I needed that.
