"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Him:

- 45 years old
- 1 divorce
- 0 kids
- decent looking
- has money
- 6’5

Her:

- 43 years old (not fertile)
- 2 divorces
- 2 kids
- good looking for age
- has money



Why would a 45 year old 6’5 actor with 0 children ask a non-fertile twice divorced single mom of 2 small kids to be his wife?

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Why would anyone who has already been divorced once want to be married again, let alone to someone who has already been divorced TWICE!?!

Once, OK...you made a mistake I get it...twice, is a pattern of not being suitable to be with someone long term and not marriage material.

Hollywood.

It is what these people do to garner publicity. And when that runs it's course... have a nice nasty @ss divorce complete with infidelity with co-stars... or better yet, one of them sudden decide they are homosexual. That and adopt a rainbow collection of children that are actually raised by nannies. If you are a Hollywood man in his 70s, and the 'plumbing' no longer works anyway, just chop the sucker off, change your name to "Kaitlin" suddenly you are all the rage again with people declaring you 'brave and beautiful'.

These people live in a completely different world.

I think this is an example of being a glutton for punishment. He surely has some internal issues, maybe fear of being alone, a feeling he's not good enough, who knows what exactly. :rolleyes:
If he was fully secure in who he is and his masculinity he'd look at it as a joke to get engaged to that woman.

So true
 

"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.

This guy is insane for proposing marriage to a twice divorced single mom with 2 children under 10.
 

"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.
