"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.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

The article hits the nail right on the head. Online dating is a strange alternative universe in which every criterion is blown way out of proportion by too many people.

What a surprise most women are dissapointed.. could it be many women online are gold diggers looking for their rich knight to come riding on his horse?

The last girl I met online was interested until she found out I worked 60 hours a week to pay for my house and bills. She lost interest after that I'm telling you.

In all my years I have never met a girlfriend online. A lay yes (a few times) but never a girlfriend.

I should have lied and said I don't work and I would have been golden. But then how do I explain what I do with myself all week?

I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't as many single guys in existence who make over $100K per year as there are women whose online profiles list $100K per year as the minimum income for their "match." :rolleyes:

Yeah this last chic I met kept going on about how she has an easy life right now and only has to work a few hours a day. She travels all around the world. On who's dime?

Yeah I wonder what she was after :rolleyes:

Once they get used to that easy life they will never want to go back.

She will probably marry some fat slob for the money. She needed a green card too.
 

"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.
