"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 have spent a lot of time away from this forum and doing things in the real world. Here are some tips I have boiled down on dating girls. It is a lot simpler than you guys think.

PART 1

THINGS GIRLS LIKE
-Confident and relaxed are the two biggest things
-Indifferent guys who don't care and don't like them too much ("challenge")
-Being told what to do and controlled, "taken"
-Guys who don't tolerate nonsense
-Guys who respond as opposed to react
-Determination
-Testosterone- like lion going in for kill
-Sense of humor is big
-Anger is sometimes entertaining to them

OK, that's basically all you need to know that's related to girls. If you have your act together otherwise, just take those ground rules, go out and just do trial-and-error until it works.

PART 2


But 99% of the problems you guys are having are NOT related to dating specifically. They are related to YOU.

If you actually want to get serious about being better with girls, you have to address yourself.

Do you have any issues:

-Physically? (are you overweight, do you exercise, do you eat nothing but junk?)
-Mentally/psychologically (did you have both parents at home growing up? Were they good parents? Did you have friends in elementary school? High school? What is your attitude like- are you a quitter or are you persistent? What is your self-respect like? What are your values like? Are you emotionally less than stable in any way? etc.)
-Spiritually? (Do you believe in God? Were you introduced to religion growing up?)
-Socially (Do you have friends? Do you have good basic social skills? Is there anything you could work on to make more friends?)
-Career (Are you working a job that you hate, or in a degree program that you hate? Are you miserable in what you're doing? Being good at his job is very important to a man's sense of value).


This will be controversial, but I think you will find that when you address THESE issues, as opposed to dating-specific issues, the girls will come automatically.
 

"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.

Although this is pretty short it's a nice guideline in my opinion.

It adresses you attitude, nessecary mental state and a desire to become a better self in physical, psychological and ''financial/job'' way

Well, thank you.

I knew it would not be popular because it is not as easy or fun as spending an hour clicking on various threads and seeming to be getting somewhere but actually going nowhere.

But at least one person will read this, slap themselves in the face, and say "What the heck am I doing trying to learn these tricks? The real problem is that I'm socially retarded." :)

And then they'll start to get onto the right track.
