"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.

my GF forwarded this to me and we have different points of views on this, so I figured i"d post it here.

the guy in the football gear is Ray Maleguna. He's a linebacker for the USC Trojans, and is about to be filthy rich next year, becuase he's a lock to be a top 10 pick in the NFL Draft. that doesn't protain to this post however.

The woman in the picture is erin andrews, a sideline reporter for ESPN college football games. Now.. Erin is an internet forum legend well..becuase she's smoking hot.

Now, I don't think if I were an attractive woman, I would be that offended by that. Would it be awkard? i'm sure. But I don't see how someone can look at this and think that he thinks any less of her business profession becuase of what he did. he just thinks she's hot. If anything i'd be flattered.

She really is, besides being hot, very, very good at her job. She takes it seriously and does a wonderful job.

For a woman, I'm sure she would rather take the negatives of being an attractive woman and have awakard moments like this happen from time to time, then well... not be attractive whatsoever and and have all the negatives that come along with that.


Do I thnk it's Taseful? Not at all. Would I have done it? no. But I dont' see how you should feel disrespected becuase a guy is attracted to you.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

well..that's what I thought.

I think some women (i.e my GF) don't get the difference between stupid and disrespetful.

I think it was inappropriate and he should be verbally warned about, but I wouldn't lose my wits about it either if I were her. A guy with class wouldn't do that, but at the same time, he was just goofing off.

Mystery was being interviewed by Conan O'Brien once and he said that guys don't know what it's like to have the opposite sex be physically imposing and threatening. The only time men might understand is if they're under the threat of being ass-raped in prison, and then you'd probably not find it funny if some guy twice your physical size walked up behind you in the prison and did what Maleguna did.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

put in contex, ray ray was not going to pull out his package, undress erin andrews infrot of 105,000 people and ass rape her.

stated, he is a dumbass, he is a lock for a top 10 pick and if that is any indication of his character (the same guy that wore pink underwere over his unifiom earlier this year ) i'm not touching this guy with a 10 foot pole with that type of investment.

Yea, it's a WHOLE different thing for women when it comes to this sort of thing.

I don't think she felt threatened, but you gotta understand that women are very jittery about the fact that they are the weaker sex.

When I was just out of HS one of my buddies and I thought it would be funny for him to hide in the back seat of one of our coworkers cars, and jump out as she left the parking lot.

We were pretty dumb back then, not realizing what kind of reaction she would have. Lets put it this way.....I wouldn't doubt if that incident scarred her for life, that's how freakin terrified she was.
