"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've seen older threads on the site, but maybe an update doesn't hurt.
What movie has a great DJ starring in it?

For me, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, What women want, Hitch(without the last half an hour), Alfie (specially the Michael Caine version), Spread, Swingers had characters I could relate to and inspired me in some way.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

The Tao of Steve.

Interesting movie that touches on several relevant concepts, can absolutely recommend to anyone on this forum who hasn't seen it.

I’ve always found it strange that screenwriters in general seem to have a deep knowledge of game and how it works, not just in the movie genres you mention, but almost across the board. When you look at the dialogue between characters, a lot of it mimics the principles that we espouse here on SS.

Most of the dialogue they write is for dysfunctional relationships, and I have to say they seem to have an innate understanding of how things work.
 

"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.

Hitch was very good for the first hour. Did they take out the writer halfway through?
Seems so. The last half an hour is insultingly bad and unfitting. I don't believe Smith's character in the end.
Even when a DJ falls in love, that's not how it happens.
