"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Sometimes I wonder if the posts I keep seeing here are just posts out of frustration, an outlet of aggression to those who are sour grapes perhaps?

The reason I ask this is that I see this rather cringe-worthy verbiage when it comes to bagging women like "I'd smash it" or the end game being "I'd smash it" or other crass lingo that's thrown about which probably is indicative of the frustration of those on this site.

There are others on here that are pretty non-partisan and offer some tips, but I think there's a good amount of former nice guys that have been burned so many times that they really may not possibly act as they do on here, in real life. That this place is more of a soundboard, chest thumbing and such, coming off that they just took a woman home and give their testimony on here what they did with a woman they brought home from a bar and the kind of talent it took to do so.

I'm not offended by it at all, but the verbiage does seem to reflect the two wrongs making a right, yes? No?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

  1. "I'd smash/smashed" is not disturbing verbiage. There's worse shít to say. Stop being sensitive.
  2. Verbiage is a hilarious word. It sounds like a word someone trying to be percieved as insightful would use.
  3. There are bitter men here but they are in the minority. You can usually tell from the ideas they present rather than specific vUrbiAGe

It's just your perception of it, given your age or the generation you are from. Smash is just the
"slang" term the younger generation uses. I want to say it became more popular about 5yrs or so ago, possibly more.

My generation would use banging or hitting it. Getting laid. Tappin that a**. There's plenty of others slang terms.

@ThisNThat is a female poster masquerading as a man. She is 45 years old by her profile. You don't grow up in the era of Wayne's World/Austin Powers and not know what smash a chick, etc means, much less call it "angry" verbiage
 

"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.

Indeed. She has exposed herself as a woman in a post she deleted quickly but this one takes it to another level. Locked for uselessness.
