The plates get cleared and the silence lands like a brick. You can feel her waiting. Your brain offers up your commute, your job, the weather — topics that have ended more second dates than bad breath.
Here's what most guys never learn: women hand out free conversational material all night long. Tiny clues about what they actually want to discuss. Catch them and you never run out of things to say — because she's telling you what to say next.
Rule 4 of the "22 Rules" trains your ear to catch every single one.
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.
It's bad for them, maybe. For some though, it's probably a good thing. Better to be single than having to deal with a crazy biatch.And do you even consider this to be a bad thing?
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.
I agree complaining about it won't do much, but instead of trying to domesticate a buffalo and telling men they are all bad/boring we should start telling men to filter out these toxic women from the get to.Another day another thread about how jaded the dating market is against men!
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.
Higher barrier of entry means higher competition. This girl could be flaking on you on some NFL player not some average joe on the street that you think you are competing against. Girls are now dating dudes 3 notches above them, so that 5 you are trying to game could be talking to an 8 or 9. However, these dudes will never submit to a 5, so they are essentially just wasting everyone's time lol.Social media and the internet, gave women way more options then they should of had. As a result their egos have sky-rocketed higher then mt Everest.
The barrier of entry for the average man just keeps getting higher and higher.
