"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 whole thread is very sad.

Being a Don Juan is being a Don Juan, not lying to yourself and everyone around you for the possibility of a little poon.

All the time it took to type this could have gone to something productive. Instead, it went into this.
 

"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.

Right, if you're happy with yourself, be yourself. If you're not happy with yourself, pretend to be the man that you're trying to become. In either case, you're at least coming from a position of honesty.

For me, when it comes to women, I like to be appreciated for myself. Not for some ficitional lie where she likes me because she thinks I'm an astronaut or whatever lol. If she likes me for a lie then she's not liking me for me. I know some guys think this idea is ridiculous ("as long as she gives up the pvssy, that's all that matters, dawg").

Aside from that, I see "Be Yourself" as meaning being relaxed and confident enough to show your natural wit, charm, and personality around women. Because there was a time when I would freeze up around beautiful women. I could be very funny and witty around the guys, and around the ugly girls. But when the real beauties came around, I'd clam up, I'd freeze. It took practice for me to learn to be relaxed around the hotties and show my real personality.
