"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 don't always care enough to do it, but if I do I won't do it to my friends.

NOTE: By AMOG, I'm specifically referring to a situation where someone is trying to game a girl and you're also gaming her yourself, making it harder for him to do so. There's a difference between being an alpha male and being the Alpha Male Other Guy, IMO.

"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.

I only do it when the group I'm with are having a problem making a decision. They're not usually arguing but just confused. That's only 20-25% of the time. That includes times when they appoint me the leader; everyone needs to pull their weight. :D

Thinking in terms of alpha "being done to/by me" comes out of an unrealistic belief of what constitutes a modern-day alpha male ( no offense, I am not trying to 'AMOG' anyone).

To me being 'alpha' isn't something you 'wouldn't do onto others', because being alpha means *giving* value to the group. Taking charge and making sure all have a good time, reading people and being inclusive, and so on. If one adopts a positive attitude and becomes a cool guy, he 'AMOG''s all the guys by a powerful presence. DO you think Dr. 90120 or some nerdy guy who decides to 'AMOG' him is more likely to go home with a hawtee?

OTOH, associating with 'cool guys' will make you seem cooler by association, and they will tend to rub off as David D claims because we tend to become more like those we spend time with.

if my friend is trying to game a girl and he got to her first, i'd talk to her a little but i wouldnt start trying to spit harder game than him or something.

with some of my friends we tell each other which girls are ours and the rest of us will lay off a little.
