"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 lot of women I hear refuse to date men that meet men, give them their number, the guy calls her...makes plans, and flakes.

He calls back 6 months later, pretending nothing ever happened...as if their conversation took place a few days ago.

I am guessing these are the games that men play with women?
 

"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.

They refuse to date men who don't show up?

I'm pretty sure girls don't give out their number and pine for 6 months for a man to call.

So, no, these are not the games that men play with women.

ThisNThat.......I've been onto you from the start. You are a female posing as a male.
You ask way too many questions trying to gain insight into the male mind. In the one above its almost like you slipped and forgot to pretend you were a male with what I highlighted above.

A guy being concerned about the games men play with women is very odd.

Men rarely flake on dates.

At worst, a guy might get a number and not call her. He got busy or cold feet. Then he might call much later. I agree that it's weird to get a number, go ghost, and call her eight weeks later like it was yesterday lol.

It's more common than you think.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I always thought that ThisNThat was a little bit autistic or had some kind of mental handicap lmao. I guess I was wrong. Probably is a woman now that I think about it.
