"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.

To tell you the honest truth, I saw Iqqi's rant thread and I was extremely tempted to post in it. Instead, I thought I would start a thread about what I am grateful for.

I am grateful that I have a family who loves and cares for me.

I am grateful that I have a few close friends who will be there when fail and cheer me on when I succeed.

I am grateful that I have a decent job and an awesome boss who has kept me on even though I should have been fired LONG ago.

I am grateful that I am in the best shape of my life and that even though I am in my 30s, I still pass for someone in their early 20s.

I am grateful that I live in one of the best countries in the world (no, its not the US).

So, what are YOU grateful for?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I am grateful for

-Only having to take 2 more final exams this semester and I'm officially done w/my current institution
-My family who raised me right and have allowed me to thrive
-Being able to say that I have seen superstars in person the other night who have inspired me to keep training and a mass of other ppl worldwide
-The greatest sense of self, happiness and confidence I've fine-tuned w/SS over the years
-Cute brunettes
-The fact that I know what it is I want to do with my life over the next decade
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Beyond your peripheral vision
Why are you taking my rant so seriously? It was just a rant. I am a bit surprised it is still going strong...

Anyways, I am grateful that ppl contributed to it, and got whatever was irritating them off of their chests.

I am grateful noone (well not a lot of ppl) took cheap shots at me like I was expecting, because I did kind of put myself and my current vulnerable feelings out there. I checked on the thread that next day with mucho trepidation...

I am grateful that Nyquil has made my cough more productive.

I am grateful that my friend was able to give me a ride today when my car broke down at the gas station pump.

I am grateful my mechanic found me a cheap tow all the way from where I was at back to his place. I am glad the repair will only cost around $200 instead of $1000, because I found such a great, cheap mechanic who knows his sh!t and doesn't charge me much.

I am grateful my laptop started today, a miracle since it wouldn't start yesterday. I am grateful that I have a warranty still, so even if it didn't, it's still all good!

I am grateful that I've been semi offered a job as a bartender, because it is a skill I need to pick up if I am going to skip off to another country, and try to get easy under the table work while I am there.

I am grateful to be reading a book that is inspiring me to write again.

I am grateful that even though my friends have some loser issues, there is always ONE that comes through for me right when I need them.

I am grateful that I make friends so easily now, which is actually totally against my true nature.

I am grateful that my mother had no rules in her life, which translated to me not having any rules growing up, which translates to me now being able to think waaaay outside the box, and survive when sh!t hits the fan, when most people would just give up and die.

I am grateful that I can think of tons of ways to make money and none of them involve working for someone else.

I am grateful that one day I know I will have more self discipline than I do now, to actually follow through with my ideas and visions.

I am glad that it is so very easy to make me happy.

“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.

First and foremost I am grateful for my health, well being, me just being able to wake up everyday and not have any debilitating illnesses. I am grateful that I appreciate the abundance life has to offer and how far I have actually managed to survive. I am grateful for the oppurtunities and resources that have been offered to me and my ability to take advantage of them. I am grateful for the fact that I have been exposed to many things in this world that most people don't ever get to experience which has given me much more insight as to what type of a person I am and has strengthened my core to the max. I am grateful that I realize where I actually came from and have become humble enough to tell people other-wise. I am grateful that even with all the bullsh** I seem to keep moving forward and stay positive (which boggles my mind sometimes) and haven't given up an ounce of hope. I am grateful that I have both my parents who despite my opinions and their questionable decisions have stuck by me even though they might or don't understand some things about me, somethings they never will nevertheless I am grateful that their presence alone is enough. I am grateful for the sacrifices they have made and now realize how tough those sacrifices have been. I am grateful that I am actually a very intelligent, sexy, hardworking and honest MAN who continues to improve everyday and mature as a person. I am grateful that their are incredible posters on this board who have inspired me and helped me during SOME of my problems and who I can never thank enough but they do and will always have my respect.

...but most of all I am grateful for everything. :up:
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.
