"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.

I was reading this article about a "feminist" run strip club that is going out of business, and it got me thinking.

Looking at the pic, I can't see how customers would want to pay to look at chunky chicks like that - and when I read about how this place was run, I can't see how even if there were more attractive strippers, there would be a whole lot of interested customers.

This all led to my conclusion that feminists - since they consider pleasing a man to be "sexist" to begin with - cannot possibly be good arbiters about what men find sexy. And it fits with other aspects of the culture - e.g., feminists saying that a well educated but dumpy women should be considered more attractive for a well educated man, etc. I am well educated, but I would still prefer to have sex with a hot bimbo than a chunky intellectual!
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.
