"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.

Good or bad idea?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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 brought the idea up in the Moderator Corner. It was met with a different idea by Survivor, which is a lot better.

Don't call it a "Boot Camp" forum, but rather a "Field Reports" forum. We don't want to limit people to only MOTU's "Boot Camp".

I think the reason the "Success Stories" forum failed is because, no offense, it was unrealistic. If you take a good look at the general discussion forum, you'll see that over 95% of what is discussed entails failure, not success.

So if a Field Reports forum is established, we must encourage guys to post their failures as well as their successes. The key difference between this new forum and the discussion forum would have to be ACTION. No questions, no general debates, no polls, no flaming, just action and trading notes from each other's field reports.

Plus the forum would help out the moderators by making it easier to identify the posters who may be taking real life action.

Such a forum would have to STRICTLY moderated though.
