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.
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.
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.
"It's all your fault"Girl: blahblahblah..your so horny!
DOH! I swear I didn't copy your idea - you beat me to the post button. Great minds think alikesay it's all your fault and slap her a bit
Hah, say what you want about those other responses (the result of about 5 seconds of brain power), but don't accuse that response of putting a chick on a pedestal. Most chicks don't have naked pictures of themselves out on the 'net, so implying there are is a neg hit: you're implying that she's slutty."Only when I look at those naked pictures of you on the Internet"
(WEAK, you are putting her on a pedestal)
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.
You got it wrong. What I meant to say is that you are putting her on a pedestal by talking about how much you are attracted to her. You are giving her too much power.Originally posted by GirlCrazy

no, you've got it wrong. how could you possibly think that would be putting a girl on a pedastal? the sluttiest of the top 10 percent of sluts are the ones you see online.Originally posted by Joe The Homophobe

Dude you have no idea of the situation you are in/what kind of girl it is/who is saying the C&F, that **** is not set in stone.Originally posted by Joe The Homophobe
"yeah, i just saw myself in the mirror"
NOW THAT IS ****Y AND FUNNY! :woo: (the perfect response). Make sure that when you say that you move your hand through your hair as if you were calmbing it (now that would look really C/F)

"Maybe if we took a cold shower together, that might help!"
(You have to say this in a C/F way to get this to work because if you sound serious it could backfire)
"Hah! You wish I was horny, you little vixen"
(dumb)
"And you're not?"
(dumb)
"Me? Horny? Why of all the scandalous things to say ... no, wait, yeah I'm horny..."
(dumb, sounds high school)
"Yeah .... and your point is?"
(dumb)
"Yes I'm horny, and if you hop in your car right now, we can be horny together..."
(saying it in a C/F way or it might backfire)

Oh, for crap sake, stop prefacing every single post you make with "Advice/Response/insert-synonym-here/etc from a female". All that is doing is telling people NOT to read your post, because typically, women give terrible advice to men about how to deal with women you are interested in. Why? Because you have no experience dating women yourself. Being one and dating one are two different things.Originally posted by blueangel83
Advice from a girl:
To begin with, how did the initial converstation start before she told you that you're "so horny"?
If she sounded serious then you need to tone it down, she is somewhat turned off.
If she said it in a flirtatious manner then she wants you to lay the pipe already.
I actually need a little bit more info so I can tell you exactly what she is thinking.

Picked that up from a guy I used to work with. At the time he was banging half the chicks in the office - all of them hot. I agree it sounds corny, and it beats the fvck out of me why it works, but it works.What COOL guy says "you little vixen" ? wtf
I'm often wrong, but this aint one of those times. Open your mind and see that this style of neg hitting actually takes her power away and gives it to you. Again, it's situational. Neg hit the wrong chick and the wrong time and she'll cry her eyes out like you just stole her puppy.You got it wrong. What I meant to say is that you are putting her on a pedestal by talking about how much you are attracted to her. You are giving her too much power.
I don’t fully agree with this.... I know 1st hand that women can give the best advice compared to the advice a man can give u. It all depends on WHO the chick u are asking is. And the same applies for men. Some MEN will give u sh!t advice, and some will give u golden advice. Same rules apply to women. So don’t go disregarding everything a WOMAN told u because its a WOMAN that told it to you, rather look at WHAT she is saying, and then judge if u think the ADVICE is good or not.Originally posted by MetalFortress

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
