"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 know it might sound strange to say, but many of us grew up without a father figure.
Because of that, we often have to make a deep internal effort to truly become men ourselves.
Finding a mentor doesn’t just help you channel your growth, it also makes life feel much more meaningful and fulfilling.


So how did you go about finding the right men and environments in your own life?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I actually did much self introspection and turned to certain authors. Then from there I stuck with or found the right friends, who are all decent, caring men. Perhaps the suggestion above for mean men would work for some. For me, it wouldn’t.
 

"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.

From such men we receive tutelage in the fine art of finding Biblical justifications for littering the nation with the corpses of a few hundred strangled hookers, and mistaking F-cker Carlson for a modern-day Mark Twain

Gardeners, Manual Workers, Electricians, Plumbers.
I have many examples, and they are all men with risky finances.

Why them and not the office ones?
generally those manual workers will be in better physical health. That in turn affects how the pretense and mind work. They usually will be more in tune with emotions.
Emotions are everything.

its also perfectly possible that an office worker who trains hard in some physical thing such as boxing or other.. will be the same, and then they also have the money.
