"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.

I'm in the process of focusing on launching the website for me and my friends own buisness which is a SEO marketing agency and at the same time I'm applying for more higher end jobs since my current one just doesn't pay enough.

At the same time i have signed up for a Gym membership, I'm thinking of taking a 6 month break from game and cold approach to focus and improve myself before i get back out there.

Anyone else done this before?
 

"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.

Good man.

I doubt more than 5% of men consistently cold approach for any significant period of time in their lives. It's not a commonplace activity. Social circles allow for more trust and comfort, and online dating at least spares you the embarrassment of public rejection.

If you're asking if I've ever been too busy for dating, absolutely. Higher priorities and all.

Yep! Don't talk to anyone. It resents your mindset to what is important to YOU.

In the days when I was single , I have took some rest from the game and women in general, I felt my self esteem improved, and start seeing my self more of value. Learned read some books ,improved my health.
I think in today life when playing dating game for most men is like playing on hard mode, you really need some rest to re-charge and re-discover yourself.

Where you able to reinject yourself back into women after being away for some time WITHOUT losing confidence and energy?

Yeah you can burnt out pretty quickly, I knew one guy who did it daily for years and now he hates women. It's not healthy.

Yes, actually that period changed my personality, while I lost some of my social confidant due to less going out , but I gained a more feeling of self worth. Also I start recovering my old hobbies that were making me happy.
Started improving my self like running everyday, eating healthy , etc .
Was I happy ? no, as I know I am missing having the family , but this time I was swallowing it like a man, I continued my productive life and pushing to my best self, until I started again meeting women , but this time women were more open and make it more easy for me, also I was more selective and looking more realistically on the chances not like just mass approaching
 

"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.
