"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.

Due to short sightedness, I am now having to wear glasses.
I would wear contacts, but I'm unable to due to a 'stigmatism' (whatever that is) in one of my eyes.


I have always liked chicks with glasses (they have that sexy secretary look). But do chicks avoid guys with glasses like the plague?
I've been told I look about 26 with my glasses on. Maybe that's good, maybe it's bad...I just don't know.

Your thoughts?

theres plenty of guys with glasses who girls swoon over.

clarke kent. -well, when he takes them off, and pulls his underwear over his pants.

george costanza. -....i take that back.

sorry my main. you're screwed.

On the plus side. atleast you have eyes. you'd be in an even worse situation without eyes.

I could go out without them...but unless I get up really close, I can't see a damned thing and I can't make eye contact with chicks cos I can't see their eyes.

But at least I don't have a tiny willy :D

Glasses aren't that bad. It just depends on how you present yourself. I wear glasses and I make my glasses be an asset for me. The trick is to pick out a pair you look good in, which you can do if you take a girl along with you to pick out your frames or ask the people behind the counter what they suggest (if they are pros and not just some 16 year old kids working at the store).

If you are the kind of person who parties and has this whole image/reputation of being a wild guy going, you can pick out a crazy pair of glasses which can become a conversation piece, and thus not only not get in the way but be an asset to your ability to pick up chicks.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

When I got my frames, this really hot chick in the store picked them out for me.
Sadly I was an AFC and still with my LTR back then.

It's only recently I've had to start wearing them whenever I go out, so I guess it's not so bad.
I'm just very image conscious.

MY girlfriend says she finds them sexy. As in she volunteers to say that as oposed to consoling me about an insecurity. So some women do find glasses sexy. I suppose it depends on how much a girl values intelligence in a partner.

Lets face it, they do make you look more intelligent even if they don't actually make you any more.

Thats lucky.
I may sound intelligent, but in truth, I'm a moron in disguise!
At least I get to look intelligent and complete the whole 'appearance'

Glasses also do wonders for me as a Geek Squad Agent, because people are more likely to suggest any repairs I recommend, so I can really drive that revenue! It also worked awesome in computer sales, where I could tell people they needed whatever item that we were currently pushing and got far less resistance than when some of the non-glasses wearing sales people did it.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I think you have a 'nystagmus'. that's what i have too.

There are so many kinds of glasses, I'm sure you can find a pair that either flatters your looks or is inconspicious. Besides, you'll look better when you're not squinting and bumping into things.

Dude, don't even worry about it. I wear glasses and I have no problem getting women. In fact, I prefer my glasses over contacts. Just get a nice, fashionable pair. The oval glasses are pretty classy right now - mine are taper-cornered squares. They're pretty thin. I have had plenty of girls tell me they dig guys with glasses. One said "for some reason, I have always found guys with glasses and earrings really sexy." (I also have earrings)

So it's not even worth worrying about. Just get don't get one of those big, pseudo-half-moon tortoise shell numbers like you had back in elementary school. Those make you look six.

Salut,

Wearing glasses is not a big problem (my doctor informs me that I stand a very high chance of wearing some later on in life), but more importantly it's what sort of glasses you pick that changes ppl's opinions.

Go for something that's lightweight, thin and rimless, try on a lot of pairs before you eventually pick one.

You could go emo and wear the thick black frame glasses. Girls dig that.
 

"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.

Your thoughts?
You must have some very weird astigmatism, because there are contact lenses for that, the so-called toric lenses. Did your optometrist give some reason why you can't order a toric contact lens for that eye?

It's the same principle as being bald or not amazingly good looking - it's all in the attitude.

Glasses can be an asset, definately. Spend a couple of hundred on a decent pair, it'll be worth it.

Ummm....dude. They make contacts for "astigma".

I've got them in right now. They cost abit more, but they make them.
 

"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.
