"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.

Why isn't there a contraceptive pill for men?

It would certainly make things easier because I hate condoms.
 

"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 think part of it is getting the science right, and also part of it is putting the burden on women. Women's pill do a sh!t ton of things to their bodies...with hormones doing all sorts of stuff. But as soon as side effects are just a little too high of a percentage in trials for a male pill, then it gets axed.

From what Ive read the last 5 years, it doesnt seem like the big boys in the pharma community arent allowing enough progress with the male pill. Now, granted the hormonal side effects for men may suck a lot, and theres a different challenge when compared to the female body, but its 2015....we should have had one a while ago.

There are a bunch of science articles that would lead one to believe the old school view of birth control being the womans responsibility, is something that permeates the pharmacuetical community. But these dudes need to hurry up. Imagine if guys had a pill? Let a b!tch try to trap a guy once he has a condom and a pill in his arsenal.

I could see a male pill causing a whole new set of problems. Gyno, low testosterone, permanent infertility. Lol I can hear it now.

"Its been 4 months since I took my pill and I still can't get my girl pregnant!"

IMO, I think we're better off where we're at. Where a condom and if you don't like that get the extra thin joints. Or pull out. You can't have a baby if you pull out. Haha

Also, the lastest article I read on the topic says they haven't gotten the science quite right yet. I'm sure we'll have one pretty soon.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
