"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.

I am a huge fan of gothic girls, but unfortunately they tend to be tattooed as well. However, at least there tends to be an artistic side to it.
At the end of the day though, I'm not a fan most of the time.
A good screening tool is to ask her about the story behind her tattoo. Hopefully it doesn't start with "I was drunk on spring break..."
Lastly, feels good to be back on SoSuave.

Ya'll are crazy. Fvxk tattoos.
"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.

"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.

only for a few years until they expire loll
"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.
Those poor butterflies on a withered ass...noooooo !

This will go into my "TO FAP TO LATER" directory.
Yea, most of the guys here who hate tattoos are squares. Probably partly why they have problems with women, they are boring af.
Shhh....you'll rouse the no-fap fan boys into some delirious hyperactivity, let's keep them on a quiet delirious mode for a few months.This will go into my "TO FAP TO LATER" directory.

If your idea of excitement is putting some ink on your skin, I believe it’s you who is the boring one. Tattoos present an image of excitement, not necessarily correlating with an actual exciting lifestyle.
I’ve seen guys in the special operations field who live actual interesting lives have mannerisms, swagger, vocal projection, and overall charisma without feeling the need to tattoo themselves. They make Johnny the tatted hipster look like a tryhard pansy without even trying.
Anyway, this is a discussion of preference; some guys like it for aesthetic reasons, some guys don’t for the underlying behavioral indications having tattoos tends to have. Some fall somewhere in between.
"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.
