"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.

In the club scenes, we tend to go against guys such as promoters and Djs. A lot of these guys are super low value but are perceived as "High value" because they know a lot of people which ironically does not amount to ****, because you can know a lot of people and still not be cool. So basically in relating this to highschool what is a good way to engage in this popularity contest and have women believe you to be the jock in this situation and them to be the nerd(lower value guy, not perceived as cool).

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

There is a highschool forum. Also, the idea should never be to make someone feel low value. If you want to feel high value, you actually have to be high value. In other words, work out, socialize and make a lot of friends, work hard, and be successful. I don't understand your club analogy.

maybe you shouldn't view people in highschool terms when you are an adult ?

The first step to having high social value is not caring about your social value.

....Works well for the homeless guy I just passed on my way to the club.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Give that homeless guy a $100 bill and see how quickly it turns into a pile of empty beer and whiskey bottles, worth only what the deposit value is.... Give someone who has their sh!t together the same $100 bill and see what happens.... Ya know?

Yeah, those drunks go downtown and literally walk over homeless guys as they loudmouth their way to and from the bars. They just don't get the hypocrisy when they later blast homeless as all a bunch of alcoholics or crazy ungrateful worthless nothings living off the sweat of others.

Gotta wonder how stupid someone would have to be to repeat the current mantra of "feed the homeless." How about "house the homeless?" No way! That might take some real effort. Besides, the givers of "charity" think they're better than those they give to. They never heard, and would never believe, "there but for the grace of God go I." So of course, the takers don't deserve meaningful assistance from any givers. Just token self-flattery.

Again, look who's doing the talking. Petty employers who, instead of using their investment money to do hiring and buy materials, put their funds into the high-tech stock bubble, then into the real estate bubble, laid off workers, drove up rents, made men homeless, and ruined the credit market so those homeless men couldn't defraud lenders like those loudmouth barhoppers did.

Dap, you're an idiot. Go soak your head.
