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.
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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
fortunately, this dude isnt as insecure as you and he doesnt have to use steroids to make him feel better about himself.Originally posted by steroidsrule

Bullsh1t, you're not eating enough. But you may be a hardgainer.Originally posted by Zombie
eating doesn't gain me weight.
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 was just watching the discovery channel it was talking about different body structures scince your 6'10 your part of a curtain group (i forgot it's name) it's the human body which is they most superior in form....you will never be overweight due to your body structure..you share the same gene as all those basketball players ....face it man your a super-human!!!Originally posted by backbreaker
i have a first cousin who is 6'11 and is no more than 195lbs.. Played college basketball. Had trainers his entire career get him on deits, trying to gain weight.. he just couldn't
He is I believe at 215 now, which is still extremely skinny for his size, but he can't gain weight for the life of him

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
I know a guy who's 6'8" and weighs 165 lbs, so quit accusing people of trolling without any evidence.Originally posted by Deus ex Pianoforte
6'10", and 170 pounds? If you're going to troll, at least make your $hit believable. I mean, you didn't even really think that through at all, did you? I mean, if posting random bull$hit to get a reaction out of people on a forum gets your rocks off more power to you...but I'm sure you could find better ways to use your time. Life is short.
Actually, a basketball guy who played against my brother was 6'10 and he looked overweight (I don't know his weight, but he had a gut and a really chubby face). Really good player, though.Originally posted by Deus ex Pianoforte

Dude, do you know how much that counts for with women?? That means you can get the tall chicks with the long legs that is looking for a man she can look UP to for a change.Originally posted by Zombie
I feel like chicks are always looking at my height rather than my good looks. I'm too tall.
I'd rather be 5'8" than 6'10".
everywhere I go people stare.
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.
