"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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I was 16 in 2002. About my Sophomore year. I remember still having AIM and talking to some of the oldschool DJs from here, like Jester, PenKitten, etc. I remember having one-itis and them telling me to make them run circles around me instead.

Would I have run into red-pill material somewhere else? Probably. But I'm pretty thankful for having found this forum at that age at that time. It gave me a lot of time to put some deep thought into the things being said, experiencing things that were being talked about, being able to identify what an SJW and beta-male was (alpha and beta terminology weren't that popular back then) because you could see them everywhere in high-school, and it gradually shaped me into being who I am today.

I didn't always agree with everything everyone said, but the general message was always pretty much the same. The ultimate lesson that has stayed true from now until then is that the one who cares less always wins. So I tried to live my life trying to act as if I didn't care as much as possible. People always see through it. It was only with decades of life experience that one is actually able to cultivate sincere IDGAFness.
