"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.

When you look at a woman.. Do you look at her as a sex object first?

"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.

It’s a biological response that is hard, if not impossible to turn off. First glance is an evaluation of sexual attraction, If this is not the case, maybe you are batting for the other team. After the initial glance, then the next step is to figure out what is wrong with her :rofl:

Just curious. Not going to lie, I still look at women as sex objects first. It's just how I'm wired I guess.
Yes, so long as they young & attractive. Just today I was in a Clerk of Court's office, and there was this hot chick and her fiancé getting their marriage license. Even then, I looked upon her a sexual object.

Women often will preemptively dump a guy who is dating down. I tried dating a few I wasn’t really attracted to. Every time, they picked up on the low interest and dumped me first.
It's OVER for Can'tEvenDateUglyCels.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Loaded question.

It depends on how old she is. and the man’s situation.

I dont think many guys would look at 42 year old single mother as sex objects, but they will look at them for maid services; to cook and clean for them

Same guys would smash a 26 year old woman in 2 seconds.

Other guys who want a family would take their time with the 26 year old, work on her to build something.

Any man who is married and has kids, would look at any hot women under 30 as sex object, no questions asked.
Depends. I've seen some 42 year old women look amazing. Granted, this was in NYC, but still drop dead gorgeous. I'm sure though, with make up, I wouldn't be surprised if she looked different. For sh!ts and giggles, I looked at one of those getting ready make up videos. It truly is amazing what fake up can do nowadays. It's crazy.

When I look at women. Yeah they are all sex objects, as in when I'm just going about my day, talking to random people e.t.c.

BUT when going for a woman as in perusing/escalating, nah it's deeper than that.

And, for better or worse, most heterosexual women/people more generally look at men as "success objects", when they're initially sizing us up:

Thus, the guy who at least APPEARS to be doing well in life gets the panties a'drenchin' and staff that's highly accommodating whenever he walks into a restaurant or retailer, than does the fella who fits the image that flashes through each of our minds, when we hear the word "homeless". I remain baffled as to why we've spent the past decade or so pretending this is tough to comprehend, or(if you're an MRA)thinking that It's vital for us to create a utopia where this is NO LONGER the case


Such wholesale moronicism is The Manosphere equivalent of Feminists lamenting the "injustice" of Drew Barrymore's acting career sputtering out, once we were deep into The 2000s and she no longer looked like https://youtube.com/shorts/zxvKJMS3o5Q?si=67ChDcXtKL9HWj4J , was forced to rely on her (non-existent)ability to play a scene instead

"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.

The reality is if they are capable of it most women want to position themselves in the world as sexual temptresses you can see this clearly in women's fashion

Everything is designed to attract attention to her figure , her t1ts , her A$$ whatever , 30 years ago they would have claimed it was men designing all these hyper sexualised garments

But its not , its women designing them for women they want to attract attention & desire its undeniable

I was in the gym yesterday there was a chick who's tit's were literally spilling out of her top and leggings so tight you could see her Pu$$y

I mean its completely unnecessary yet they do it anyway and to be honest if its on display I'm going too check it out I don't see the problem

Sexual attention to women is like oxygen , the only problem is they can't control who the attention is coming from

So when Micky the Bricky with a beer gut and his pants hanging down his Ass leers , they don't like it

But when Austin the in shape real estate agent has a look it gets them excited.

At 31 I did. At 41 there’s a little more space. I’m more judgmental. I’m usually thinking about how old she is, whether or not she’s my type. And whether or not she’s the high maintenance type. The stuff I used to put up with at 31 I cannot imagine putting up with at 41.

But of course this is probably just a product of being more jaded, lowered testosterone, and perhaps having more options than I did at 31.

But honestly it has to be more hormonal than anything. In my 30’s there was no such thing as a needy and neurotic attractive woman. At 41, I can usually see it a mile away because I no longer have those rose colored goggles on amplified with raging hormones.
I’ve arrived where you are already and I’m 31 lol. Put up with the high maintenance thing in my twenties wouldn’t consider it now. Bull**** meter goes off and I’m out right away, don’t tolerate it for casual sex either

Honestly, yeah. It’s the initial split-second assessment. It's biology. Anyone who pretends that the very first thought isn't about physical attraction or potential in that way is lying to themselves or trying too hard to sound woke. You process the physical data first, then the human part kicks in.
