STR8UP, I'm gonna need that party address to confirm this thread is on the "up and up".![]()
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.

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.
actually they are feeling things and tasting things and being talked into spending lots of money so leave your wallet in your glovebox dude.Originally posted by STR8UP
Oh yea, I'll bet they will get wet just thinking about you pervs jerking off to the picture of them dressed in lingerie holding butt plugs and pocket rockets.
I think I'll stick to the 'trying to mate with the wild and beautiful creatures' plan.
Can I choose a female assistant? Actually, I have no idea what 'where' is.....care to elaborate?Originally posted by penkitten
if you are asked to go to the bathroom with a spoonful of something weird and put it you know where, try it because it is fun!
I can see it now....Originally posted by penkitten
i need a new magic bullet, one of the children took mine and it was brand new from one of these parties.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
If this sounds boring to you, you might want to check and see if your 'equipment' is still intact.Originally posted by Warlord
Sounds boring.
Maybe if it were a party with guys selling anal torture devices this chucklehead would be interested?Originally posted by Warlord
Sounds boring.
I'm sure it won't compare to a good Japanese meal and the company of some interesting new friends, but I'll make the best of itOriginally posted by KarmaSutra
STR8UP, Brother have a great time.
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.
Kinda like how it's only acceptable for women to be into bisexuality?Originally posted by Rollo Tomassi
Just for the record, I should add that only women can get away with sex toy parties.
I'll second that!When a woman masturbates (with or without a toy) it's the sexiest thing in the world;
I couldn't agree more.Originally posted by STR8UP

Well done STR8, you get a B+. You'd have gotten an A if you'd F-closed the coochie girl, but a good effort nontheless.
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.
