You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
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.
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.
Under contemporary thinking, yes. But from an evolutionary and biological standpoint, we have sex to spread our seed around as much as possible.Kerpal said:No, we have sex because it feels good.
the "we have sex to spread our seed" myth is one of the most wrong yet most believed "science" myths in the world. true with just about all aminals but in particualr with monkeys/great apes (humans are great apes).Rhino said:Under contemporary thinking, yes.

It is still about procreation. That's why the urge to have sex in the first place exists. The social status comes after.backbreaker said:the "we have sex to spread our seed" myth is one of the most wrong yet most believed "science" myths in the world. true with just about all aminals but in particualr with monkeys/great apes (humans are great apes).
sex has for literally, millions of years, going back to as far as ardipithecus (4 million years ago give or take, one of the many forrunners to current humans) it's been proven that sex and petting was as much about social status in the tribe/clan as much as it was for reproduction. female apes looking for a tribe to run with would let the dominant male ape **** her, etc, but he still had to keep the peace between the other female apes in the tribe so he would spend time with them as well. it's was a pretty pimp setup if you could be the dominant male lol. hell lol one of the reasons apes started walking on 2 legs was because it was easer to **** (ture story)
