"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.

So I went to some good police training earlier this week. The topic was "dealing with mental subjects". The whole class was awesome other than one thing the instructor said. He talked about how there are these really bad men out there who pray on women, and they call themselves "pickup artists"! He said they do these bad tactics where they convince women that they are "no good" and then use reverse psychology to get in their pants. I didn't say a word. But another cop in the class who I think gets it asked the instructor "about these pick up artists, do their tactics actually work? " The instructor dodged the question and never answered it.

I nearly crapped my drawers when he said that. Was not expecting it. Although there were some women in the class maybe he was just trying to be politically correct? The instructor was about 6'2 mid 60s buff as fvck. married at least twice. I really wanted to ask him "so what happen with that first wife?. Did you treat her like a princess? Did she cheat on you? Leave you for another man? Take 1/2 your stuff? etc. ". But I kept my mouth shut and remained professional.

Funny sh!t I just thought I would share it with you all.

What did that comment about pickup artists have anything to do with police training?

He should have just kept it objective and stuck to actual facts.

I hope you aren't the only one in class that found it ridiculous. Next thing you know, it's a crime to go up and talk to a woman you don't know.

Exactly.. to be classified as a discussion topic in a class about metal subjects was way out there IMO. he was implying that pick up artists are classification of dangerous people. Need I say I lost some respect for the guy after this but I still enjoyed the class overall. He talked about psychopaths, narcisist, the impact on people who are badly abused his kids, and a lot of other useful stuff.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

This is actually the view that much of society has about PUAs. I saw it reveal itself when Roosh was having those meetups all over the world. It absolutely blew me away how women were telling other women on social media to avoid going out for fear of being raped. The result of that was just "evidence" that we live in a "rape culture".

Ironically, nobody got raped that night.

He's implying that women are foolish, gullible, and just not that bright, especially compared to men. Feminists ought to be offended.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

So ironic considering how cops treat women lol
Unfortunately a lot of cops do give the benefit of the doubt or the "officer discretion break" to the female over the male. Fortunately both my current and former department don't practice that way, but I know others around me who do and it's sick.

I do think this guy was somewhat of a white knight. I also got the sense that he didn't believe what he was teaching, necessarily. That was by the fact that another officer asked him if PUA tactics actually worked but he didn't answer it. I think deep down he knew the red pill on the deal but was too much of a beta/white knight to say that in a public group especially one that had about 8 police officer women in it.

Same tactics get run on men
