"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.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

just go to college and work part time. If you work first you're just going to be working a job that you hate and probably making no more than $15 an hour. Just go to school for 4 years, get a job you love, and wind up making more than that. When you start school late (like me) you're gonna wind up graduating when you're 25 when you could have a masters by that age.

Do what you prefer or what you're obligated to.. But if I had the oppurtunity I would definitely just do school first.

Are your peers the type of people who have career goals, or are your peers the type who want to get married at 22 and start popping out 10 kids to live in their 2-bedroom house?

College, by no means, is a guarantee of success. But a college degree provides you with options. I feel that skipping college might limit you.

But, do whatever suits your lifestyle.

Yup, you can get a degree.. But if you don't know how to market yourself with that degree and network, it'll get you nowhere.
 

"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.

everyone's right, school should be done first... If you'll get an associate/bachelor's/masters degree you'll get higher pay... If you have financial concerns, don't worry about it... There are a lot of scholarships you can take advantage of... Try surfing the net for financial assistance for school.. One you can try out is collegeoptions.us and their college representatives will help you out... Do good in school and you'll see success in the future... Smiley
