"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.

Would you rather:

1. Have a rather unattractive girlfriend who's obese and has, let's say, crooked and yellow teeth etc. But you drank a magic potion so you see and feel her as a perfectly fine HB10.

2. Have a legitimate HB10 which can also seen as such by other men. In this case though she has drank a magic potion that makes her obsessed with you. This means she won't even think about acting up or leaving you.

I'm sure you guys know where I'm getting at. I'm curious about your choices.
 

"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.

Isn't this the plot of Shallow Hal?

Anyway, I pick #2. Because loyalty is by far the rarest trait in women.

Never saw that one. But wouldn't you think that the "ugly" one would be loyal as well?

It's not a sure thing with any woman. #1 also has the drawback of you not seeing reality.
The main problem with #2 is the obsession, that could be a very big issue. But removing the disloyalty problem gets rid of a horde of female problems.
Neither option is ideal, but the rarity of loyalty, plus the rarity of 10s (which I don't even believe in) is too good for me to pass up.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
