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.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
What is truly shameful is how you paint an entire country as faggots based on one idiot's performance you've read about in a tabloid article. Seriously dude Gawker??? "Today's gossip is tomorrow's news!" :crackup:Burroughs said:truly shameful

If I were a more cynical person, I'd spend some time wondering why institutions of authority would discourage non-passive acts of independent bravery.
So anyway, how about those wacky Kardashians?
Repped.Desdinova said:Yeah, I read that story. They're really trying to pussify boys here. Not my boy, he punched out a 4th grader who was pissing him off. Did I mention that my boy is in grade 1? The girls already love him![]()
It isn't just because of this incident that Canada is becoming pussified. Every year my kid's school holds a day called "pink shirt day" to bring up awareness of bullying. I sent my boy to school in blue.The only reason you've even heard about this story is due to the massive public outcry by all the awesome Canadians who are standing behind the kid
As if you would know anything about Sweden. What is it with these generalizations about countries to act all-knowing? Ridiculous. Only 15 percent of Swedes believe in feminism, you will find people of all kinds, same as in Canada, Latvia or wherever. To make that kind of generalization says more about the one making it than about the country.( . )( . ) said:Anyway Burroughs nailed it. Canada is barely behind Sweden in the race for full blown faggotry. Deal with it.
And this fits in the "Mature Man" forum how? That's what the Anything Else spam forum is for. I guess taking two extra seconds to look through the forum titles would be too much work, same as posting anything in the OP about the story behind the link.Burroughs said:

What are you a retard? You just wrote an essay length post on faggots in the mature man forum (which was pretty good btw) and now you deem this "spam". Who the fvck are you?Wolfgang D said:And this fits in the "Mature Man" forum how? That's what the Anything Else spam forum is for.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
I did read ehre somewhere something about a new fashion of guys using skirts (and not they ware not scotish)Desdinova said:It isn't just because of this incident that Canada is becoming pussified.

There was another event called Best Friends day or some 5hit where all the kids had to wear pink stickers. And it doesn't stop at that. For breast cancer awareness month, they change all the gloves in the hospitals from blue to pink. One of the fire departments here has a pink fire truck. I'm repeatedly seeing men being forced to wear pink here, and it really sickens me. I'm only waiting to see men be forced to wear skirts to raise awareness or rape victims or some 5hit.
That would be erm....Sweden! not so much fashion, but I suppose if you have the legs for such a daring move...Alvafe said:I did read ehre somewhere something about a new fashion of guys using skirts (and not they ware not scotish)
well also we can say Justin biber is from canada need anything more?
good thing your kid have you desd.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
