"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 LOLd hard - must read article

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I found this interesting:
Younger guys, get out there and get that education.
Also this:
Maybe I'm more of a catch than I thought (and I know I'm a good catch).

Also this:
I'll be 50 before the end of the year (wow, 49 is going fast). Assuming my girlfriend and I don't break up I'll be one of the 2.7 percent!

the best thing a man that is 25 can do (my age) is to put women on the back-burner and make his way in the world. his little jimmy will thank him later in life.
it's really not that complicated. if you take care of yourself, have no huge baggage, you will be fighting them off. my dad is 50, is married, and makes about 40k a year, maybe a tad more, and has a Rolodex of every bgit of 20-30 women at any time.. of nice prime ass women, some my age. he is not a model athlete but he hits the gym everyday.. he doesn't' take his diet too seriously but he does watch what he eats and makes sure he eats a salad a day, tries to stay away from too many soft drinks, **** like that, grooms himself nicely and can dress his ass off.

No surprise to anyone on these forums. Men age like whiskey, women age like milk.
"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.
Keep in mind that while the quantity of women available to you goes up as you age, the quality generally goes down. This causes older men to "pump and dump" lots of women which makes the cycle continue. By the time you're a 50 year old man I assume that the 50 year old women around you are truly in bad shape. Which is probably why it's no surprise that older men try to find younger women.
