"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.

Why is it GUYS who seem to get too emotionally invested?

Because there is a moist movement. Guys are turning into emotional girls while girls are turning into masculine dudes. You can attribute this to TV and the higher divorce rates! You would never see stuff like this happen in Africa or the Middle East. There the men have the women in check.

The men don't have their women in check. They have them enslaved.

And what are these African and Middle Eastern countries accomplishing, now that their "Alpha Males" are free to worry about more important things? Advancing technology and medicine? Global politics? Wealth? No, they're in the same place they were 1,000 years ago.

I'm not breaking your balls. It's over-simplifying the issue to say "This wouldn't happen in the Middle East or Africa." Neither would this conversation. It'd probably be illegal.
 

"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.

It's always a great time to be Alpha. Perhaps now more than ever. Some are arguing that if women had less power,then lesser males could secure them??

in reality, have tiny to no options. A person can dump a woman, but there will consistently be considered a thousand guys who will bend greater than backwards for her. And females know this.
Damn right they know this!

As is usually the case, several reasons:

1.) Guys are NOT less emotional than women. PUA guys like to claim this but it's not true. Guys get angry and depressed just like girls. We may not show it as much but we do. It's controls us just as much too. Our egos run us as much as our wieners.

2.) Guys don't have as many friends as girls and are usually not as close to their families as girls. Guys have drinking buddies and friends to play basketball with. They don't have a network of FRIENDS like girls do. Granted, these guys can help you get over your ills for a couple hours but it's friends and family that help you get PAST your ills by being there.

3.) Girls have other options always.

I am thinking the same thing.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
