"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Matched with this girl on hinge and long story short I could tell she’s one of those feminazis that expect the man to still do everything :

*has invited you to chat*
Me: Hi
Her: Hi
Me: hey
Her: you already said hi
Me: I said hey not hi
Her: hey and hi are essentially the same thing and you are being boring
Me: I thought this was the 21st century and you fully capable of taking charge?
Her: it’s not about taking charge , it just shows you’re lazy.
Me: the irony is astonishing

How should I have responded ? Just thought I should share
 

"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.

Your "hey" is completely unnecessary and pointless, your follow up is worse by being reactive about nothing instead of just ignore and take the conversation somewhere. Make it fun and light hearted. You may have saved yourself time but still, the more important message here is to not be this boring. You're not standing out from all the hordes of men by writing "hi, hey" and taking things so seriously.
I screen girls immediately by showing them my sense of humour (which can be quite sarcastic) and if we're on the same wavelength she'll respond in a favourable way, if not then well i saved myself some time.
Lead, screen and get to where you want to go.

Well, you were boring.

However her disrespect was worse.

Just be glad you found out early.

I have never used Hinge, instead of "hey" you could have said " Here we are at the awkward part haha. Tell me abit about yourself"
Absolutely , and she wasn’t good looking to begin with. The hypergamy is real. How would you have responded to that?

You might be the worst messager I have seen and that is saying something.

Don't ever message"Hi." If you can't figure out how to say something interesting maybe don't bother messaging her until you can? All you are doing is making yourself look like the other 95% of guys sending lame messages like that...probably not where you want to be.
 

"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.

On bumble girls do that all the time. Honestly I wasn’t trying to get at her, just thought the hypergamy was funny

Seems like you're a kid in a whre house, everything around you with tits is interesting, but you have no idea what to do. You have to provke emotions. Both hi and hay is unnecessary. Wanna skip the week of chatting before a date and go straight to the part where we do shots, become best friends and make everyone jealous of us..?

That doesn't mean that you should. I mean she came out and told you you were being boring.

Are you trying to get laid or win a fight that you started?

"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.

"You invited me. Learn some social skills before you interact with people. It will help."

Then ignore her from now on.
