"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.

So I walked up to this woman at a bookstore here in Philadelphia last Friday and made a move on her. I supposedly got her phone number. She told me her name was Pam. Called her yesterday afternoon. The phone rang. I got her voice mail. The woman on the phone not only sounded different, but said in her voice mail that her name was Liz. I wasn't exactly sure what to do, but I left a message and my phone number nonetheless. Now, I'm not exactly sure what's going on here, but rather than give me a wrong phone number, if this were the case here, why not just tell me you have a boyfriend?
 

"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.

She didn't tell you that she had a boyfriend for the same reason she didn't tell you straight away that she wasn't interested in you.

Well, what's the difference - both are excuses and either one works.

And, this is actually pretty standard procedure for women in this country - so get used to it, lol.

Re:

I think I'm getting really fared up with American women and their attitudes and superficiality at this point. I've been dealing with this crap for almost 10 straight years now. I think I should start searching for women of other ethnicities.
 

"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.

How could you possibly determine whether or not you're interested in a guy when you don't even yet know anything about him? Very stupid.
