"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.

This is pretty wild...

Cambridge University has discovered that a pretty face can actually prevent people from gaining a job interview if it is not complemented by a good education.

Likewise, more visually-challenged candidates could end up struggling to be hired if they went to a good university.

Experts at Judge Business School, Cambridge believe the phenomenon occurs because hirers become confused by candidates who do not fit into normal expectations.

Attractive people are generally expected to be better educated, and more successful while the opposite is true for unattractive people. When applicants do not follow the pattern, recruiters assume they will be a bad fit for both high and low status positions.



It's over for HotDumbCels and UglySmartCels.

Guess now we see why those rich people were trying to get their good looking kids into quality schools by paying off the admissions offices.
 

"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.

This is emotional intelligence 101 something I learned early on in the pickup community good looks and average intelligence will always trump ugly looks and a low IQ that's just the way people operate.

I think might more be the case that since society makes it extraordinarily easy for The Beautiful People, from a stochastic POV, there is a higher chance that an Ugly One, that has achieved the same as a Beautiful One, is a higher achiever.

EDIT: Yes, I know that anyone using the term "stochastic" does not get laid. :rolleyes:

I have learned multiple words from you. Stochastic, epicenic, and harridan are 3 words I didn't know prior to SoSuave and @MatureDJ .

I also learned the Pigeonhole Principle from @MatureDJ .

I do not ever plan to mention any of this to a woman in a seduction setting.
