"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.

male friends of hers who I heard talking sh1t about her and basically she said I was stirring sh1t and went off at me.

The bolded part is the core of your disagreement, because male-female friendship does not exist. Both men and women often like to pretend that it does. Men are using the lie to try to get laid, and women are just delusional about it. I guess it's flattering.

Never allow the concept of male-female friendship to exist in any relationship of yours. I refer to every guy in my gf's life that she's not related to as "that guy who wants to fvck you." Because it's true! I don't get mad, pissy, or jealous about it; I just state it matter-of-factly. I'm not going to pretend that something so obvious does not exist.

You were trying to destroy the m/f friendship frame by telling her what these guys said, but it was far too late, because you had already allowed that frame to be established. If the other guys were seen as just typical guys trying to fvck her, then it would not have mattered what they said when she wasn't around, and this argument never would have happened.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
