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.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Those are the girls I like.Originally posted by LuvMyArmyMan
whomever said those girls are fat must be smoking something....if they're fat, then you must like girls that look like holocaust survivors.
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.
Okay the one on the left isn't all that hefty. But the one on the right (titani-tits) would definately give my back some issues if I were to try to lift her. That's hefty enough for me. How do you confuse fat (breat is mostly fat as pointed out) with muscle?Originally posted by LuvMyArmyMan
hey i'm a girl and even i wouldn't want to bone a boney chick.
and no, those girls are NOT on the hefty side. Since when is muscular hefty?
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
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.
Is she you by any chance? U seem to be getting kinda defencive hereOriginally posted by LuvMyArmyMan
Well she isn't pretty but she isn't fat.
You guys are helpless.
Why is that? I mean our society conditions us (women and men) to be very superficial about what we find attractive. Look at the light that supermodels are put in. Countless magazines, Television, Movies, Advertizing just about every form of media depicts thin women as the ideal woman.Originally posted by LuvMyArmyMan
haha no way in hell that is me. I'm just stunned at what guys think is fat these days. Personally, i dont think she's fat. but whatever.
Her boobs look unnatural because she is wearing a ****ty bra. My boobs are that size...and they are 100% natural. I'm "thick"...hourglass figure with massive mammaries and wide curvy hips and a waist that is sorta small compared to the rest of me. Boobs that size can be natural on a non-fat girl as long as her ass/hips are curvy enough to off-set the top-heavyness. It's all about balance...Originally posted by MetalFortress
Fat? pfft stupid
Her breasts are unnatural as hell though. I'd go for the chick on the left, but not the one on the right. Fake boobs suck.
Well, the guys who think any female whose physique doesn't resemble a 12 year old boy is fat have issues. Anorexic looking girls/women look like pre-pubescent boys...no boobs, no curves, just a walking board. They should just save their time and money and go find a tree with a knot hole in it.Originally posted by LuvMyArmyMan

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.
