crap .. baltimore must really suck... I used to think Portland, Oregon was bad, but at least the crime isn't through the roof. (panhandlers everywhere though)
"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.
And the worst city in America is . . .

"She's Out of Your League"
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.

Portland is the cleanest, most beautiful city I have ever seen.
I'll second Camden NJ.
I swear that there are blocks there that look like the Air force bombed it.
And I'll throw Atlantic City in the mix too, Pacific Avenue is ok, not great though. But if you get a few streets off of it, it real bad. Mediterranian ave. is the cheapest space in Monopoly for a reason, apparently.
Whitepimp where are you from? I live near Vineland.

Do a search for "portland sucks"
people write about how portland sucks.. ha
Portland is good for artists, calling center specialists, customer service specialists, collections specialists, and white trash who put couches on their front lawns in SE Portland.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
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.

Detroit, are you guys kidding? Have you been there?
It's got a fantastic music scene (including a world-class symphony orchestra, as well as diverse pop, rock, electronica, rap, and avant-garde acts), world-class museums and tourist attractions, casinos, sports teams that are contending for the championships, universities, and outdoor attractions, including some of the best walleye and musky fishing on the planet right in the city in the Detroit River and nearby in Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie.
And it's dirt cheap. My house payment is $240 per month for a detached house.
Yeah, I know there's a lot wrong with the city: much of it is a cesspool of crime, the economy is rough to say the least, and city government really sucks, but there's also a real lot that's good about it.
Flint, on the other hand, is pretty dire in just about all respects.

We only have 4 or 5 major cities in Australia

there are one or two areas in each of our cities that a crap holes, but an entire city??

any city that has lost 1/2 of its population over the last 40 years = sh!thole.
roughly off the top of my head, the ones that have lost 1/2 would be...
st. louis
baltimore
detroit
new orleans
pittsburg
philadelphia
washington DC
many others.
ive been to most of them. i would say pittsburg and detroit are the worst of the lot.
detroit has the best ruins this side of Rome. 5 story blgs that have been abandoned long ago, crumbling, with TREES GROWING FROM THE INSIDE!
@ lordson...these are all generalizations. every one of those cities is within quite a large metropoliton area, and everyone of them has 'suburb' sprawls that are very nice, $million+ homes. every city has its crapholes. several of the districts of Paris (the ones NOT on the postcards) smell like piss.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I am from NJ and I will have to agree Camden is one of the worst. I got lost in there once and it just looked like the City of Stalingrad after its big battle.
Newark is not completely bad. It is quite nice and safe by the train station. There is the ironbound section there with all of the great Portuguese restaurants.

The best thing to come out of Baltimore was the TV series... and even that was named 'Homicide'.
I've never been to Houston, but apparently it's the ugliest, smoggiest, worst-designed place in the country.

Man, I agree. I was in Camden about 2 weeks ago. Holy sh1t. Every red light I hit I was tempted to run. It looks like the earth swallowed the city and puked it back up.Das said:

That is a racist comment to make on several levels. I don't think you did it intentionally, but it just shows how men have been pvssified thru education, media and propaganda - white men in particular.Phyzzle said:
The statement implies white = weak boy, while simultaneously implying blacks are violent and prone to attack whites.
The true test is switching how races are labeled, i.e. giving TobaccoChaw Arkansas the backwoods award for "you gonna die black boy"
Ugly either way

Newark. Hands down.
I once got arrested for looking like a criminal there. Apparently some dude with my same jacket robbed a liquor store and I spent the night in jail, after the cops roughed me up some. I didn't even get an apology.
Then there was the time I got attacked by homo thugs (yes they exist) Thankfully they were all drunk and I am a fast runner.
Oh, and what about the time I got stranded in the airport because the ticketing agent screwed up my reservation, and I spent Christmas night sleeping in the airport? That was fun.
Toss in the horrible aesthetics, fowl smell, rampant crime and lack of anything resembling culture and there you have it.. America's sh!ttiest city.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
