Who here is on myspace.com?
If so, what's your link?
If so, what's your link?
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'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.
what in the hell are you talking about. MySpace is a social networking site not a dating site. Get the facts straight. If he wants to be on MySpace then cool.Originally posted by ~JC Jedi 007~
Real DJs don't use MySpace.
You're an AFC.

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
A big reason why you find that MySpace works for you is that you're 18 years old.Originally posted by escobar04
myspace is great for dating
just take a better picture of yourself
I've had 2 dates just off of myspace in the last month or so
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.
Sorry, dude, that is stupid. Yes, you can meet girls through online dating, MySpace whatever. It's just not efficient. Girls on these sites are being spammed left and right by complete AFC's who don't have the guts to approach a woman in real life. So why compete on their turf?The Don Juan gets the girl. ANY girl... and that is my philosophy. If I can't get the girls I like on Myspace, I'm not satisfied. I don't care how difficult it is, the fact is that it's possible... and if it's possible, the true Don Juan can make it happen. No excuses.
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.

Thats another thing they told me, just because they are on their list, it doesnt mean anything...The way I am, I dont care about girls I dont see in real life, I only care about what I see in front of me, so if someone requests me, Im trying to do something...But the girls arnt having it like that, so whats the point?Originally posted by TKE222
........and I can show you a friend of mine who has like 300 people on his friends list... all the way from Jenna Jameson and practically all of the vivid girls.. plus every good looking girl in his hometown.. because he has a shirtless picture.. how many of these girls has met? 2.. maybe.. and its because they recognized him while he was out..not because he tried..
its easy to populate a friends list, any shirtless pic will accomplish that..
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
