It was out of order actually.logicallefty said:
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"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'm a little surprised that De Angelo advocates chivalry, since it is seems so out of line with the whole manosphere idea of not buying drinks, not pedestalizing, negging, being an @sshole, etc. I've found that a lot of guys on the forum are chivalrous, which really surprised me since the whole "jerk game" thing is pushed so hard here.
Also, one of the biggest insults on the forum is to be called a "white knight". So again, it surprised me that guys would advocate chivalry when it is so closely tied to the knighthood's code of conduct, which they seemingly reject. Then there are the complaints that feminism wants the advantages of the patriarchy with none of the disadvantages. Chivalry seems to be giving that to them.
I'm not saying I am against chivalry. I hold doors open for people (not just women) out of respect. But I am surprised to find so many guys here practicing it when it seems so incongruent with the rest of the manosphere.
