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.
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.
..but yeah, to all the above.hieght ,age, activity level?TheLadiesMan said:...I've got some extra flab from that 220 era. Should I start running? Would like to reduce the amount of flab on me.. see picture. Also I'm addicted to italian ice.

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
good job losing the weight. But HOW did you lose it? Starving yourself???? ..right now, I got the hr long thing down hehe.. but as far as keeping her in the air that long, not yet... 20mins max, and I'm putting her on her knees.Mad Manic said:
At least 3 years of hard training, great diet, full dedication and great genetics then? People on here have very unrealistic expectations you know. They start a routine and a diet and expect to look amazing within 6 months. They then go off the training and diet because they're too busy drinking and going out and eating takeaways. Are you prepared to stop going out?TheLadiesMan said:
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Depends on the dude...8-10 months this guy would look good.Mad Manic said:
I mean 220 to 175? Not bad at all, really. I quit smoking, eating right, etc. Trust and believe me when I say to you, this didn't happen over nite. Suggestion for bulking, please.I-tallionStallion said:
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
You are out of your mind...the only way he's 12 weeks away is if he strips 20 lbs...and thats only a MAYBE...but then he'd weigh a measily and unattractive 155. It takes a lot more dedication than 12 weeks Mr.WISEASSMr. Wise said:
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.
