"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.

Good points but I would add a corollary to that rule. A man who LOOKS like he can fight to women is attractive to them. The tall athletic dude will still get women irrespective of his actual fighting ability.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Agree but sadly for most of us the opposite is true as well, the 5'8 ufc light weight champions with his shirt on wouldnt exactly impress any woman.

boxers are essentially helpless if you attack or defend against them from the ground. They don't have a CLUE how to defend or attack a guy who is down there.:)On your back, sort of, palms on the ground,but also on your feet, "crab" sort of movement by pressing down with hands. You can sort of scuttle towards a guy, he is unaware of the risk, then you use bottom of your foot, turned sideways, in stomping sort of motion, to bend his knee backwards. :) you can "bicycle" kick to keep him off of you, one foot then the other, you use hands to swivel around on your butt, stay facing him. If he bends over, kick at his face or chest, if he sidesteps, use ball of the foot roundhouse kicks, if he gets close enough, use your spear hand to his face, or ridgehand to his temple. VERY few people know how to REALLY hurt you. Most hurt their HANDS a LOT worse than their little wussy punches hurt your head. :) Once you REALLY understand that, and have learned to block, twist, cover up, etc, and have REALLY hardened your abs, you will laugh at unarmed people. But it's always best to ccw a pistol, in case one or more of them snatches up a chair or pulls a knife, breaks a bottle, etc. Then it's perfectly ok (legally) to shoot him, as long as he's within 10-12 ft, that is.
 

"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.
