"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 disagree. I'm almost exactly the same, even if I drank too much to drive home. The worst thing I've ever done is tell a couple girls that I thought they were "hot," something I'd never do when I'm sober. Thankfully I thought they actually were attractive. My standards don't drop due to alcohol consumption.

That's good, as I won't do anything outrageous. That and the fact that on New Year's Eve I plan to go to a nearby town because from what I've heard the nightlife is better there, and the bars/clubs stay open later (4AM!).

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I do a lot of stupid **** when I'm drunk, but one great thing about being inebriated is I have complete control of when I want to bust a nut. I can bang it out for hours if I want to.

When I am drunk I am either 3 things.

1. Horny and treat women like meat.

2. Quiet and antisocial looking like I am on the verge of grabbing a knife from the table and slitting everyones throat in a rage.

3. Find the biggest looking mofo and sticking my middle finger in his face.

Have you guys ever been drunk in front of your girlfriends and acted stupid? If so how did that go?

Also, have you ever been out with drunken friends that behaved disturbingly bad and made you look bad in front of your girlfriend?
 

"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.

Awhile back one of my lady friends stopped by with a few of her girlfriends and a bottle of Absinthe. A few drinks in I was SH!TFACED. I barely remember leaving my place to go to the clubs.

The funny thing is, my chick friend told me the other day that girl "X" was asking about me.

Apparently I made an impression on one of her friends even when I was fukked up out of my mind. From what I understood I made an ass of myself that night (I was in rare form from the Absinthe). The BAD thing is, I don't remember ever even MEETING her friend. Hmmm.........
