"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.

I have been seeing a woman from work. I knew that she had, shall we say, been around a bit from the start. Yet, when she started getting all soppy so did I. It is almost as though I seem flattered that someone as attractive as her should show an interest in me.

1. Why do I fall for someone when they start to have feelings for me?
2. Why do women get feelings for me so early on?
3. Is it a problem or should I milk it and carry on trying to put myself about?

Also, I was not failthful to her. Inevitably, she was not faithful to me.

4. So why am I so bothered about it? Could it just be jealousy, because my infidelities have been with prostitutes, whereas she wouldn’t have paid for it?
5. Why do I feel as though I ought to financially pay for stuff when we are out? Is it because my self esteem is so low that I feel I ought to ‘buy’ her?
6. I condemned her because she slept with someone who she had met on an aeroplane after 6 hours of ‘knowing’ him. I called her a slag. Was I unjustified?
 

"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.

The answer to all those questions lie in your low self-esteem. You don't see much worth in yourself. So the solution is to work on your self-esteem. Do things that makes you happy, like hanging with friends, hobbies, sports, working out, etc. Set small goals and achieve them. Focus on the stuff you have accomplish so far. Don't look at the future too much, focus on the present. And last, walk proud and smile, for you are alive and the world is still your playground.

I agree with swoop... you need to engulf yourself in some hobbies... before you know it women will become a nice supplement to life and not the main course. When that happens you will find it alot easier to roll with the punches they throw

Dude you're thinking of offing yourself cause of some User Bytch Slag. Think about it man.

If that hasn't opened your eyes and instilled in you the serious urge to right your ship, doom is waiting for you.

I agree with Swoop too. Sounds like you're accepting very low standards for yourself.

If you don't feel worthy, or feel insecure about yourself, you can change. Self-improvements is a huge part of the philosophy on these boards and is the turning point of most DJs.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
