"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.

Today's tip, about 6 phone numbers in 5 minutes is a good tip, but it's 5 years old.

Allen, as much as I like reading those emails, I would like to see recent material be placed in them, successes and tips from the CURRENT users of SS.com, not from people that his last post was in '02.

Leave older posts to the bible, because I'm sure if you took a look around (and I know you do), you will find some stuff worthy of at least a Tip of the Day.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I've been reading "tip of the day" for the last couple of weeks now. All but one tip has been absolutely dreadful with no real useful information. It's usually either somebody boasting about their achievement (and most of the time it sounds like pure BS), or some vague advice that doesn't offer anything useful. I can't see these "tips" being helpful to anyone because the information is so basic that unless you are some sort of isolated hermit who has no contact with the rest of humanity and has zero social skills, common sense will see you through anyway.

For real advice, it's probably better to read messages by posters on this forum.

This tip was actually NOT that great of a tip.

Girls give out there #'s like it's no big deal. Just because you got her number doesn't mean anything.

If you don't have any rapport with the girl then the number doesn't really do any miracles for you.

The other day, one of my girl-friends had a BUNCH LOAD of guys calling her. Did she want to talk to them?

HEEEEELLLL NO! She didn't even pick up.

They just want the attention and the boost of confidence.

Again, a phone number doesn't mean much without having a real EMOTIONAL CONNECTION with the girl first.
