"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.

Here are the top six reasons not to compliment women:
I've got to say, I still haven't made up my mind about giving women compliments. I know there are two contradictory sides here. Reasons #1 & #2 makes sense to me (they know they're attractive, they hear it all the time). But if you look at the featured articles on the top of the page, several advocate opening with a compliment. Deesade, among other guys here, uses compliments to open. I give my girlfriend compliments occasionally, but that's not the same thing.

I tend to think compliments are a good thing, as long as they are genuine and not coming from a place of neediness. Giving a compliment seems like a perfect example of giving value, yes? And it is better to give value in abundance than looking to receive value because you think you need it.
 

"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.

Really? Never a compliment? Why?
it depends on the girl basically.

if you're hitting on super hot girls, models, attention wh0res, etc. then never compliment

if you're hitting on average or below average girls, insecure girls, girls who are attention starved, etc. then compliments are great.

the idea is that a hot girl hears how hot she is 24/7(this is why hot girls would complain about being hit on by guys, they get it a lot.), an attention obsessed girl posts 10 selfies a week with the express purpose of getting to hear how hot she is constantly, all you'd do is feed her ego.

a particularly insecure girl or one who isn't getting compliments often for whatever reason, or one who craves attention but never gets it would most likely be on your **** in seconds if you start telling them they're hot. (though you may end up with a clingy, insecure, chubby girl who thinks you're soulmates after you fvck her one time)

the way to know if it was a good idea or not is in her reaction, regardless of how she reacts if she thinks it's a big deal that you called her hot then it was a good idea, if she shrugs and gives you a stock response never compliment her again

though like any rule, there are plenty of exceptions, if she already likes you compliments won't fvck anything up as long as you don't come off as a beta, if she finds you attractive then she probably won't mind a hot guy telling her she's good looking, if she's a slvt then she probably bangs guys for giving her compliments/attention anyway so you're good to go there, etc.
