"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.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

This may be because I'm an old fart, but the exclusive articles sound as if they were written by bitter AFCs.

I was just about to say that...you hit it on the head (one post up)
i don't think it is anything wrong with venting about women. alot of people keep their feelings bottled up and start doing self destructive things. alot of the stuff he writes is pretty on point in my book because women are very disrespectful towards men...especially western women. the things most men put up with for some pu$$y is ridiculous.
the article i like the best is the one about not getting married. i would never marry an american women considering the rise (over 65%) in divorce and how women initiate them. futhermore i can't see myself being faithful to a woman forever no matter how much i "love" her or how attractive she is. also he has great things about how a man needs to define his own life and stop worrying about what skirts think all the goddamn time. the site in my book is saying MAN UP!!

It just sounds like you guys need to stop wasting time with women like that and just focus on higher quality women.
"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.

Perhaps. Ever wonder if there is a corollary between their negative attitude toward women and their success (or lack of) with women?
of course it is. if you have negative experiences with women you will have a negative attitude towards them. i don't know the guy who writes that stuff but i will say that i don't think he hates women. his articles are not bitter about not getting laid. i think he hates the overall disrespect women dish out to men. especially when it comes to how women manipulate the hell out of men to get what they want. and how western society justs sit back and support it. you see it in movies, tv, mags, etc. it's all bull$hit! i'm just glad somebody out there is recognizing the $hit and writing about it.....to each it's own though.
