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.

WE WANT AVATARS!
I think I made myself clear.![]()
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I've seen on other forums they put a limit like a 100x100 pixels image at max. and jpg of course. Well they are like 10kb size..
It's not the brandwidth.

40x40 is a good size. 100x100 is way too big. You only see those sizes on poorly managed forums.
As for porn and flashing images, the most porn you can get on a 40x40 image is a tit and that's not even porn. It's nude art. Even so, I participate in around 8 forums at any one time, and I've yet to see a rated X avatar. A lot of people don't waste their precious avatar spot for nudity/porn.
If avatars were restricted to jpegs and non-animated image formats, there'd be no flashing images. I think .swf and .gif are the only formats that support animation.
Me too. I'd like to have an avatar, don't really care about the size...Originally posted by Hot Ice

Avatars are good!
Helps recognise people easier.
They'd probably also make this place look like a damn trailer park, they're so tacky. They serve no real purpose at all: they're a diversion, they're ugly.Originally posted by Dee-Zy
not professional.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
