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.

ArcBound said:"Alphas" are allowed leeway to be "beta" at times. If you are alpha all the time and just show a slight flash of beta once in a long time it won't be that big of a deal. Eminem is alpha because he has status, swagger, thug charm, probably fvcks lots of women on a daily basis, ton of money, millions who buy his album, millions who download them, has paparazzi on him constantly (which is actually how YOU know about his personal life anyways). So yes he's a "chump" when dealing with his mom and ex gf. It doesn't matter. He can go to a random girl probably even your girlfriend say I love you a million times with a million roses and she will fvck him harder than she ever fvcked or even loved you.
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.
This is why white people shouldn't rap. Now he can't poke fun at Michael because he's black? No wonder Eminem took shots at boy bands and other soft targets. Besides, who the fvck is Michael "Jew me, Kike me" Jackson to whine about bigotry?Groovy said:This is kind of old but what do you guys think about this? (very interresting)

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.
Another brilliant post. So true. Yes, a MASSIVE number of male celebs are homosexuals (or go both ways). If you know anything about how that business works you would know why.Joey Too Nice said:Jealous? Are you a tweenie? He'll have "thousands" of women after him but that's if they can all wait in line till after Birdman is finished with him. Alot of these rappers are closet homos. Don't believe me, check online. These people aren't DJ and they are not role models. (Unless you're twelve and still live at home.)
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.
He speaks more truth than any of the rest of you. I suppose you still believe that Southern California is filled with beautiful young blue-eyed angels? You see that on tv all the time. The numbers and the facts point to the opposite, but you boys believe what you want to believe.eaglez1177 said:Someone ban this loser...yet another troll
Worry about yourself.Joey Too Nice said:Yes Eminem is a great lyricist, has money and fame and loads of women after him.
But to me according to his life and songs "doing drugs, getting chumped by his ex and Mom" and constantly referencing them he is an AFC.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
