"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.

Hi, I have a 1st date coming up soon.
Thats great, good for you.

I have really thought this out.
Haha Ok?? Your only thoughts should be on what you will be doing and having fun.

The date will involve some walking.
I would hope so, I'm glad to see that you are not a paraplegic.

On the date, I will "encounter" a homeless person and give them food that was stored in a "doggie-bag". After they gladly accept, or at least I hope:]
:crackup: What the **** is this ****?

"I asked for a sandwich bi$%h" -Scary Movie
:confused: Your weird. lol (No offense)

After that I will ask them if they were a veteran, if they say yes, I will give them like a dollar or 2. If not, I will continue to the next step.
I am at a lost. Did you lose a family member in the war or something and Will you even be paying attention to your date while your doing all of this stuff?

I will have some little conversation with them, and actually get their name. I will tell them good luck, and I have confidence in them.
The hell is this? Is this a joke? Are you kidding around here? I sure hope so.

Now is my plans for the upcoming date too manipulative?
To tell you the honest to god truth, I dont even see any plans for a date here. All you did was talk about finding some homeless person, giving them some food in a doggy bag (As if anyone would want that) and asking them if they are a veteran. You dont even say what your going to do before or after this incident. Nope sorry, I dont see anything about a 'date' here at all. If your going to plan to be manipulative on a date, at least plan the date portion out, ok?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Okay, I wish i could make a poll for this.

I personally think it was a good idea, however, you all are the DJs.

I think I should have a more natural date, then one thats planned from a to b.
You need to get laid my friend. lol :up:

Concentrate on her. Completely. Trust me. :up:

thread of the year right here. I laughed my ass.... LOL at the jesus comment.

It'd be great if you could pull like a 20oz ribeye from a hat...complete with a salad and baked potato (still warm)
 

"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.

If you talk to a homeless person with a hot chick beside you, they will likely be a nutjob, a drunk, or a drunken nutjob, cut your throat and do her fifty times.

Bad plan.

lol ,It was good idea in theory. However it is was premeditated.

If you ever encounter a bum go ahead, but d'ont ever go around 'looking' for a bum while your spending time with a plate. Always move naturally.

You can show you generous qualities to women in better ways, which don't necessarily have to include bums.

I seen that Law and order episode:

Buddy helped the homeless guy cause he saw the homeless guy was wearing his marine corps patches. Buddy says "Hey man, you really in the Marines?" Homeless guy responds "Yeah, Gulf War 1."

Turns out buddy was a Marine himself, and was just helping out a fellow Marine. Once a Marine, always a Marine and all that good stuff.

It certainly wasn't because he pitied the vet. Pity a vet and you're liable to get an ass-whooping right there.

Anyways gents, support the troops. Hate the war, praise the warrior.

(What a strange thread...)
 

"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.
