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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
A girl becomes a slut when she sleeps with everyone but me.Zarky said:BUT on the other hand I like to see women who aren't afraid of having sex. What would you rather have, a world full of prudes or a world full of sluts?
How about neither? Just because a particular female is a slut doesn't mean that she is less picky. Most males DO have a problem with women who think they can get banged by an army of alpha's only to pick out a beta to settle down with once the old c*nt becomes practically useless.Zarky said:What would you rather have, a world full of prudes or a world full of sluts?
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.
Women being afraid of "being judged" is a piss poor excuse as to why they don't put out often. First of all women don't have anywhere near the sex drive that a male does. Secondly they're the only ones who willingly and easily use sex as a tool for manipulation. When was the last time you heard of a male doing this? Men just want sex for the sake of pleasure itself. The two genders are so vastly different physically and mentally that it's just stupid to make such a linear overly simplified comparison between the two.r0cky said:A girl becomes a slut when she sleeps with everyone but me.
I think the main reason why girls dont act on their sexual urges as much as men is because they will be judged. If we as men stopped judging them for enjoying sex and instead encouraged them, like we do to other males, to be promiscuous, girls would be more open to casual sex.

EDIT: makes me think....are all single girls like this or similar?
I dont agree with women having a lower sex drive than men. Men are just more agressive and more free to show they want sex. Women hide it because, like I said, they don't want to be judged.C-quenced said:Women being afraid of "being judged" is a piss poor excuse as to why they don't put out often.

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.
