"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.

Who cares what they mean, they don't even know what they want.
 

"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.

Been checking through the online dating apps, and I always see this statement about what a woman desires in her man-

"Has goals and is working towards them".

So I'm getting the impression this is kind of a big deal.

What do they really mean, and why is it a big deal?

I've never heard a man ask for this trait in his woman. Help me out here, guys...
It's very important to have goals. My goal is to bang a woman from every country in the world.

You guys are complicating a very simple issue

In your 20s, she will accept and ambition and goals as credit
In your 30s, she will accept that you may be a late bloomer as credit

If you are not successful in your 40s, you're just another lazy chump.

And it isn't the kiss of death. I was in a career change phase in my 40s work was up and down. Still had plenty of dates and 3 ltrs (which was basically most of the decade). If a girl likes you in you have a little bit of game she will forgive all sorts of deficiencies. It's one of my definitions of a good woman if she can see that you are working hard towards something she hangs around where as the gold diggers and attention hors only care of what bank you are making and status. Of course that is time limited but at least you get given a chance. Remember it's just your turn
