"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.

All you have to be to get in the top 30% of each gender is to be a Healthy Weight & Average looking face. But that 30% woman doesn't want a 30% man.

Truth... we 'boomers' have raised a generation of victims. We like to b1tch about younger people, but we created this sh1t
Those who assert that The US/Western Civilization more generally is founded on Christian values may be onto something... Decades worth of us have been desperate for a savior to swoop down from on high and "save" us. The 20th Century-today has been unique, in that we know expect The System to do that, rather an itinerant preacher from Galilee who died back in antiquity
 

"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.

Bro, think of the mathematical fallacy you're saying. Even if the top 30% of women only want the top 10% of men, there aren't enough men for all of them. Only one-third will suceed.
These chicks will succeed 1/3 of the time. :rolleyes: They will make rules for the 90%Cels, but break those rules with the 10%. :mad:

I really think the meme of men no longer being interested in women is simply that they are tired of having to hew to a ruleset that Chads don't have to.
 

"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.

It's more the issue that most women are now obese and tattooed imo.

For a healthy-weight, average looking man, the practical reality is:

Stay fit.
Dress well.
Be socially competent.
Have a stable life.
Meet people in real life, not only on apps.

That doesn't guarantee a model level partner, but it puts someone in a much stronger position than obsessing over whether they're in the 25th, 30th, or 40th percentile.

you just gotta looksmaxx man , as much as possible. Face, fashion and body.

I would go so far as to say, spend most of your disposable income on this - only wear designer clothes and nice suits if you can afford it.

maybe consider tattoos also. Because this is what is trending for attraction.

And you are older - stop looking at data for younger age brackets. Look at the dating landscape for YOUR age bracket.

Godspeed brother.

First step bro for you is stopping drinking most nights.

Think about it..... 70% of men and women are overweight or obese in the USA (similar in UK), so no higher than a 4/10. So just being a healthy weight, somewhat slim/fit and having an average face gets you in the top 30%, perhaps even top 25% because there's always guys and gals who are of healthy BMI's but have butt-ugly faces.
I'm always interested in hearing these percentages, at least you give some reason behind your statement. I did a quick check on Google AI, and it said 75% men were overweight in the US. I didn't realize things were that grim here in the West.

I remember Coach Corey Wayne used to talk about the 3% man, basically I think he said all you had to do was follow his system and you'd be in that top 3% Rich Cooper, who wrote "The Unplugged Alpha", talks about the top 1% or 5% - follow his advice and you're basically a 1% or 5% man already because so many guys are Betas or plugged in or whatever.

Somehow I get the feeling most of that misses the point, but whatever.
