I want to know so I can see how people compare. Moved to a new place and I feel like I have to start over.
"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.
How many good friends do you have?

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
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.

I have a network of people and used to have 5 really good friends but they all joined the military or moved away. Now I have 2 really good ones and a bunch of normal ones

i used to have friends i considered pretty close, but they changed... i have a few good mates and lots of acquitences, but in terms of reallly good friends, or someone i really get on with/best friend, no one comes to mind. I would love to meet a girl who was also a best friend, not very dj though...

I've got 6 or 7 guys I would consider my good friends. I've got plenty more normal/regular friends, but those guys are the best.
"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.
2 guys who are like brothers to me, my best friends.
one guy in detroit who used to be my best friend.
one guy in canada who is my cousin, blood. my other best friend.
one guy in russia, who is my best friend.
then i got good buds scattared around the world.
I say "best friends" becuase i dont discriminate.. i dont want to pick.

Guy friends I would say about 5 or 6 (but i have MANY more "normal" guy frineds.)
Girl Friends: I would also say about 5 or 6 (but i also have MANY more "normal" girl friends.)

I don't have as many friends as some of you.

I used to have like 10 or 15 close friends but after high school most went away to college or they got on hardcore drugs and never came back. Now I'm left with like 2 or 3.
“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.

I dunno if other people fit into this scenario. I have five close buddies. However, in terms of "normal" friends, I only have about two or three.
I mean, there's always quite a few aquaintences, but that's it.
It's hardly an awful situation, but I hope to expand my comfortably normal horizons sometime in the future.

currently no genuine good friends, many aquatences who probably consider me a friend but if sh1t hit the fan i dont think i could rely on anyone.
Its been a while since i'v had a good friend, one got killed by some drugged aborigine punks, one moved to Europe and the last as another poster said 'changed'.

i keep about 3-4 close friends, that's pretty much it
i count close friends as people i could call at 3am and say "hey, my car died on the highway, can you come give me a jump?"
and if they would, that's a close friend.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
