"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.

The movie you guys should see is Hyde Park on the Hudson. On the change between relations with Great Britain and the U.S. in the 30's. Will probably be getting this one on DVD to put it together with Public Enemies:up:
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I went to the movies to see Lincoln. best movie i've seen since Public Enemies ironically enough.

It will be a classic when it's all said and done IMHO.

Public Enemies was one of my favorites too. Just the whole feel of another era plus Michael Mann directed.

You know every time Daniel Day Lewis get's involved in a project he just get's completely immersed into the character. I can't wait to get it on DVD.

I read the Lincoln biography a while back and finally saw the movie tonight. I do recommend it.

I've see a couple of his biographies. If you want a good read in the mind of a great guy. Check out the memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant.
 

“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.
