"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.

Does it matter? I sometimes use it to avoid coming off as too serious and more energetic. Do you think girls care?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

I avoid emojis for the most part.

Use "lol" if you feel you really need to make sure something is taken a tease. Just don't over do it

Her: Hi! How ya doing today? :) Wana hang out? :)

You: Doing great Thanks! :) ... Yeah sure! :) ... whens a good time? Hows 7:30pm sound?

Vs

Her: Hi! How ya doing today? Wana hang out?

You: Doing great thanks. Yeah sure. Whens a good time? Hows 7:30pm sound?

Clearly the smiley version expresses greater pleasantries. (Edited cuz this forum didnt allow the emojis in that i had so i added ascii emotes)

I found using them sparingly at first to test the waters to be the best way. If they start using them, then it's ok to use them but only as much as they do. I know whenever I text with Eastern European women, they sometimes can be turned off by spelling, grammar, emoji, and any other slang or shortcut acronyms.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Yep, it comes across as much more pleasant. It depends alot on how the other person texts aswell. Sometimes people just write without exclamation marks and smiley, and you have to imagine what kind of expression she is using while texting.

I have had so many ladies hot and heavy from text based convos alone... get em all worked up sexting after slowloy leading the conversation into sexual thoughts... almost always leads to sex in person..... especially if your very descriptive.... ;) many told me that they didnt normally do that but for some reason i was able to really get their motors revving....

But yes.... your right... everyone is different.....this one lady i was chattin to alot on OLD got in the habit of reachin out to me everytime she got into her hot tub... it was entertaining af..... that one i never went and seen tho and blew her off as i was already busy with someone way hotter and in person who i had also started with sexting with before meeting her....

Do a search for user MrWood and his take on emojis. I like his ideas of limiting them to sunglasses face and dancing lady to give off a fun flirty vibe.

I use it very rarely, but I think girls don't care about it unless you send them hearts or kiss emojis.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I don't use regular generic smiley face emojis. But I user other ones like the chicken, poop, moon, cow, and others that fit the context of my humor in the conversation. But also, as has already been said, I don't overdo it.

it depends on your personality. theres nothing more to say. some girls i use emojis with and some i dont. do i go crazy with them? nope just some subtle touches to give my texts more personality.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Wow. Took long to find someone who I can relate with. But overall I agree. At most I'll use the thumbs up but dont go use the smiley faces bullsh1t.

I only use emojis very occassionally and only a select few. Don't be that guy who spams emojis like he's just discovered what a smartphone is. You want to be a man, not a kid.
