"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.

This isn't a great revelation by any means, but I've recently become very bothered with news.

Television news is just a bunch of midwestern prom queens and ex-high school quarterbacks(with a little asian/indian flavor (but never middle eastern)thrown in there for good measure) letting us know about terrible crimes that happen nowhere near us and do not concern us in the least, how we should be paranoid about video games and music, and a bunch of other stuff that reminds the average man that he is a useless ape and lives among other useless apes.

The only sections(of TV and newspaper) that consistently have "good" news in them are the sports and entertainment section. It's like implying that the only people capable of achievement worth noting are millionaire actors and athletes - everyone else is a criminal or should be paranoid about being victimized by one.

Terrible.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I'm sick of people supporting celebrities and making them richer. I'd much rather hear about real news, instead of the Hollywood nonsense that plagues the media outlets.

If you're interested in "intellectual news" (aka. nerd news), try specialist magazines and publications. Many will have 100-page essays on the reasoning behind the growth of decentralization in East Africa or the specifics of Russia's present biological weapons status.

Personally I never read the news. A politician signing some papers in Afghanistan or Albania's 25.13415% growth in the cottage cheese industry doesn't concern me. And frankly, people who read the news just to pretend they're "intellectual" annoy me.

ya.. I stopped watching news.. it was so unproductive.

So what if they are convo topics? I'll prefer to let real people fill me in instead of some electronic image.
 

"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.

television news (at least in the US) is for mental infants
