"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.

Do you guys go to Spas- massages, facials, get pedicures for Men?

I went to the mall yesterday and I got a facial with my parents. It felt relaxing and chill, they give you a head massage afterwards. Do you guys go to spas? That maybe a good way to de-stress.
 

"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.

Hope you tipped the 16 year old Cambodian girl who serviced you lavishly. She was almost certainly flogged with quadrapule the usual stripes by the spa's proprietor otherwise

Yeah, I enjoy getting a massage regularly

On certain times of year/circumstnaces I might entertian the idea.

I got a pedicure done up in February for example, and a lady (SE Asian?) was touching my feet. I was just looking at her play with my feet and yeah that was cool. She massaged my feet afterwards with her bare hands, she kept the gloves off.

But generally any woman's touch is a big deal with me so I tend to use those types of services very sparingly, with certain restricted occasions, because another woman is touching me.

Seriously, the other day a female dentist did work on my teeth and her front panths accidentally touched my right arm/hand, and it's like even that turned me on. So, like spas and places like that sound like good, safe and less demonic type of places to pay for touch.
 

"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.

Sports massage a couple of times a year. I have friend who is therapist & I go see her. It does make a difference for tightness/mobility and I would recommend for you guys.

Manicures and pedicures? I cannot see myself....but if you want immaculate hands and feet, great. I'm a bit too caveman fo that

I don’t like massages. I’ve gotten two.
Manicure. Had once. Too much trouble. I can do it myself. Same with pedicure.
Ideally, I’d get a facial once a month. For skin care, not for stress relief. Often too busy.
As an amusing ‘facial’ anecdote. I was talking with a coworker about skin care and sunscreen, as we were having a heat wave. I mentioned I might get a facial at the spa. She laughed and said she likes facials. But prefers to get them in the bedroom, not the spa.
