"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Joe, you have answers for everything don't you? that describes it exackly. Am in this computer most of the day, most of my talking is done through text. Its funny, when I do go out I forgot how to talk. I just mumble some words and had to repeat myself many times.

I know what I have to do, just gotta get off my as s and do it!
definitely dont have the answers for everything :p (VU and Rollo tend to have better insights all in all than myself - but they are older so they've earned those insights). but i tend to always have a few thoughts at hand.

the other thing i forgot to mention in my post is that despite how difficult life may often be - it could always be a lost worse. as hard as anyone may have it, you always have a lot to be thankful for - there are always lots of people much much worse off.

get off your *ss if you want to, or even if you don't it doesn't matter. what matters is that you do what you want to do - figure that out first, then overcome the fears you have with chasing after that life.

oh, and most importantly, enjoy the ride - who cares if you succeed, just experience life, because ultimately thats all there is for any of us to do.

"success" is an illusion anyway - a temporary state where we feel a heightened sense of safety, security and value in comparison to others - all of which is taken away if you live long enough.

we are but ashes and dust my friend, so live your life before the wind comes and you are no more.
 

"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.
