"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 am not in law enforcement, but I find this interesting.

I get annoyed when I hear people say State Cops are the "elite'" police force.

Sure, their training is harder and longer, but they ALL (State and local) deal with the same *******s.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

No I wouldn't consider them more elite. It varies by locations. Some state police act as the highway patrol and primarily only police state "owned" property. In some locales the local police go to the State's academy for training anyway. In some jurisdictions I'm thinking like W. Virgina the state police have a lot of authority, but that might've changed. Some states have something similar to the FBI but at the state level who primaruay only deal with serious crimes or complicated white callor ones.

I would say generally in most places sheriff deputies exercise the most authority. They typically run the jail, work right out of the courthouse and have the broadest authority within the county. As far as "Elite" I would say large citys' police force would be or maybe federal law enforcement. But in general I would just throw all the state and local law enforcement together and consider the Feds to be a little different.

I would consider some counties to have more "elite" police forces if they used more advanced/progressive training and field operations. An example outside of law enforcement would be the Phoenix, AZ Fire Department, very up-to-date on their SOP's, training/methods and even cohesiveness as a whole.

They have much better training in most cases than the average city kitty, thats for sure. The state trooper academy is pretty intence, about like boot camp. The written exam is also quite difficult. A friend of mine went on to become a trooper after serving two years in a city police department and he had a hard time with it from the very beginning. He later quit due to all the corruption that went on in that department. He's working as a construction manager now and couldn't be happier to be away from all that crap.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
