"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.

IF TWO PEOPLE WHO MET ONLINE WANT TO GET MARRIED IT REQUIRES GOING ON ALMOST *1400 DATES..........Bad Boy Danny Bonaducci met his ex-wife and married her on the same night.

She claimed she was saving herself 'til marriage.........so he proposed and they got married that same night. So you tell me which guy would you rather be........the 1400 date nice guy.......or the bad boy?

*stats according to match.com research.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I wouldnt trust those stats. Many of todays stats are made up out of thin air just to make a company look better.

Its called advertising.

Did he meet his ex-wife on match.com? If he did, then match.com is shooting them selfs in the foot, by saying: "You will find the love of your life on Match.com, but she will be your ex-wife".
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

I think those stats are the amount of dates someone goes on before they get married in total, not just with that one person. And if that's the case it might make some sense. But yeah, they are bs a bit.

WELL............it equates to about 4 years and that is basically dead on.

Lots or people date 4 years then get married...........

ONLY A FOOL would marry someone in less time..........

The stat is based upon when two compatible people who met online (clock started) to when they got married (clock stopped) on average it took aprox 1369 dates.

I did the math........thats about 5 dates per week for a few years........

They claim 12% of all marriages are attributed to match, E-harmony is just over 3%, POF claims its responsible for 180000 so far.

who goes on 5 dates a week? I only go on 2, maybe 3 a week since I have a job/life outside of the girl I'm seeing.

sucks to be you then
 

"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.

Holy crap! 1369 dates!

Meh, I won't go through that. I don't think I have the patience nor need to do so.

1400 dates * no telling how much money you spend each time on gas, food, entertainment. Funk that! Unless every single one of those dates is a free walk in the park and spread out of more like 10 years. lol
