"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.

What's up with this? Ever since my friend started dating his girlfriend, I never see him anymore. We were best friends, and I knew him for over 10 years. He hasn't called once this year, and we live two blocks from each other! What an @$$hole.

I understand he may be busy, but to not even call ONCE? Have you guys ever had friends who do this?? I don't understand.
 

"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.

your " best" friend was not really a friend. PERIOD

when friends stop hanging out together just because they get girlfriend it means : He was hanging out with you cuz he had no girl and had nothing to better to do.

poor him tho, he will get dumped by his girlfriend if he revolved his life around her, and not make her revolve around his.

They hang out every single night. My other friends say they don't even see him anymore either.

I fail to see why this is an issue. The dude can do whatever he pleases man. If he doesn't feel like talking and hanging out with you, that's his choice. It doesn't make him an a-hole. Seriously man, you shouldn't get all bent out of shape just because a friend doesn't call you for a year. Cause when you do, I begin to question whether you have anything or anybody else to occupy your time with. Plus it's beginning to sound as if you expect the two of you to have some sort of 'commitment' to keep in touch with each other.

On the other hand, if he ever did blow you off or let you down when you needed his help, then that's something else altogether. But if you just lost contact with him, it's no big deal.

That's LIFE. Get over it. F*ck him....


Same sh*t happened to me before and u kno what, u gotta learn to just not give a f*ck. My so called "best friend" and I have been buds for 8 years and last year he decides to be a **** n stop hangin out with the group when he got his girlfriend. He started hangin out with his drinkin buddies n such. But you know what? Who fackin cares? Live your life... Friends are temporary.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Your boy is suffering from the disease of One-itis. You should do him a favor and shoot him this way.

It means the guys a dork and he doesn't know how to interact with the opposite sex. He doesn't have a life of his own that's why he has to hang out with his girlfriend all the time.

ya

I have a friend thats pretty much the same way. When i met him he was happy with his GF but man, it was his life. If she wasnt with him, talking to him, or kissing him, oooor even talking/dancing/skating with someone other than him, he would get so depressed that it made for a crappy time hanging out with him. Finally she broke up with him in a brutal sorta matter but whatever. (she cheated on him and was a lying B****) so he took about a month to recover (1st girlfriend so ya..) and finally wasnt all that bad for a while.

Now more present, school ended and work began. I havent seen him much because of it but now he did just get a new girl thats a friend of his friends cousin. Cute, bout a HB6ish.
Back to square one. He now is all about her. 100% AFC. he has some romantic ideas and is thoutfull, but she is his life now. Oh well, you just gota put up with it and move on. Ill get a call when she gets tired of his Pedistal someday.

guys that are AFC's and finally get a girlfriend go into their own world. My buddy did the same thing. I dont blame him, he was 21 yrs old and never had a g/f. Now that they broke up we're best friends again. I dont care if he's an AFC, he's a childhood friend.

If u 2 are really good friends, at least try to make contact. let him know you're still around. He'll prolly break up w/ her sooner or later, just be around when it does.

Exactly what happened to my friend.... Moved in with the first girl he fvcked. Freaking moron I tell you. I have hung out with him like twice in several years and both have been with his gf being there. Man she is so ugly too.
 

“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.

Wiesman is right. Did you ever contact him? Maybe he just thinks the same. Why didn't you give your best friend a notice? You only live two blocks away.
But on the other hand, this is life, relationships come and relationships go away. It's part of nature. Just handle the situation with professionalism.

Its sad how a guy can drop everything for just one girl..
Even though I was AFC a lot in the past and hold a little bit still (im a chrsitian so i have limits i follow a bit) I still put women in their place. Shure they can tug at the emotional part of me for a bit, but after a few days and a few nice drive or something that I enjoy doing. (Which is a lot. If it has an engine I probably do it lol) I get over it wether good or bad you know. I try to always get me and a friend of mine to join me while i meet up with this girl to make sure Im not focused completely on her, make her earn my interest a bit. My friend i mentioned earlier says high or whatnot but its alll about his girl. A sad site it is for sure. The funny part is he needs a woman soo much that he almost treats his buddies like one when he is single.. So we like to put him in his place so to speak quite often lol.
