"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.

So who here can't fall asleep without having some sort of noise in the background (tv, radio, fan/a.c.)??
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

*Raises hand*

I typically leave my tv, fan or both on in order to get to sleep.

The fan serves the duel purpose of white noise and to not wake up hot or sweating.

Good for comfort all around basically.

I try not to sleep with my fan on. Fans, Airconditioners, running cars, the sound of wheels on the road while in a car, air planes, buzzing lights in drunk tanks etc etc. These things put me in to a virtual coma and I have EXTREME difficulty waking up. I literally have to force myself up for work if I leave my ceiling fan on. On my days off I definatly leave it on medium though! That kind of sleep is like drugs!

If I don't have my fan on mosquitoes will eat me alive.
 

"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.

When I'm ready to crash, I'll sleep over anything from dead silence to world War III... but the noise most likely to keep me awake is a ticking clock with hardly any sound around it: I'm accustomed to clocks that make light grinding noises.

My girlfrind has that problem, too. It will be in the dead of winter, blowing snow and ice and **** like crazy outside and she always has to leave the fan running at the foot of the bed all nite long so that she can sleep. The only problem is that it freezes the **** out of my feet, so I'm always having to get up and turn the damn thing off... then she wakes up and turns it back on again!:crazy:

I personally havn't ever had much of a problem falling asleep... :yawn:

I like falling to sleep to the sound of a ticking time bomb!! So I made a alarm clock contraption whereby It constantly ticks like a bomb and then when the alarm goes off - the sound of a bomb goes off!! Kaboom!!!!!

As you can imagine - I wake up with a bang and quite frantic, and I am too alarmed to hit the "snooze" button! As an "alarm" clock, it gets the job done and fulfills its' intended purpose!!

I've slept through alarm clocks. Really.

And sometimes woke up "recalling a dream" in which I turned off an alarm clock.

I should start marketing and selling my "Kaboom" alarm clock! If you had the Kaboom alarm, you'll be looking for your gun instead of trying to hit the snooze button!

I used to have dreams that an alarm was going off in my dream so I thought it was part of my dream and not the real world!, so I never woke up! This is why I invented the ticking time bomb alarm clock!! Did I tell you it makes a "Kaboom" bomb alarm sound? You will be too scared to go back to sleep!!
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"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.

I have the sound of the waves and birds chirping playing on my stereo. It helps me to sleep and at exactly 07h30, the sound of elephants stomping and running wild will wake me up. I need new sounds to wake me up.
