"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.

Don't be stupid & leave diablo+others alone

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

I used to moderate a forum. I can relate.

The internet is a big wide world. My attitude was: It'll grow back.

It's like a controlled burn on a forest or prairie. Sometimes the dead plants, garbage, and debris chokes the life out of the area. So, you slash and burn. What happens is the forest or prairie grows back stronger than it was before the burn.

I don't know about the rest of you, but there are a couple forums that I don't even bother checking because it's so choked with "debris" that there appears to be nothing of value to be found.

In this situation, where there are 6 or 7 stupid azz threads about "boo hoo! I'm a dumbazz and Diablo doesn't let me do stupid sh!t!" I would most likely delete all the hate threads, ban ALL the members on the "hate Diablo" bandwagon, and kick back comfortably knowing...

It will grow back.

Then get back to business: seduction, DJ'ing, etc.

Forums run well with "good cop/bad cop" moderation. Don't cry because Diablo is "bad cop". Personally, I appreciate the "Thor" style of moderation.

Keep on droppin' hammers Diablo!
:cheer:
