"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.

Is it normal to root for the bad guys while watching tv shows?

Currently watching narcos mexico, an example among the many, I find myself liking the "bad guys" a lot and finding the "good guys" kinda annoying.

It happened the same while watching Heat despite I didnt have any dislike toward Al Pacinos character.

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.

The bad guys tend to be more human and relatable. I find them to be more interesting and I do at times root for em

I think the master, in the latest Doctor Who, (an Indian guy is portraying him) is too goofy to feel threatening. The master is one of the most terrible villians in the Doctor Who franchise. Like a crafty darth vader.

yeah because the heroes tend to have plot armor and a dumb story line. They expect you to root for the good guy because he’s the good guy “derp”’. Game of Thrones is a good example of where they played the bad guys so bad that I was glad they died….except season 8

I generally root for the bad guys in pro wrestling. Usually it seems like the good guys have been washed clean of all character traits and just pander to the audience. Even worse, sometimes I feel like I'm being told I'm supposed to root for the good guy, which I resent. And if they're the type that wins all the time, they can be boring because it's so predictable.

The “bad guys” are the guys who get it. Society doesn’t want you to get it so they vilify such people to brainwash you to be a beta
 

"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.
