"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.
Just how stupid are you?

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
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.

Kinda hard to look down on people being stupid if you can't even spell words correctly in your "I'm better than you are" quiz.
Brilliant.
Besides, the ability to memorize information is not a sign of intelligence. The ability to think your way through a problem is. If this had been a quiz of logic problems then MAYBE it would have been a valid test of intelligence.

first of all, the quiz is in good fun. Anyone who thinks you can judge intelligence by a quiz is not very intelligent.
Porky, I am pretty damn sure (although I could be wrong) that Ben Franklin signed the DOI.. I know he contributed alot to it.
GirlCrazy, in 11th grade I was taking AP English Lit, a credited college coruse I got an A in.
I went to Mills University Studies high, a school that even though being a public school, that has been ranked by Time mag as one of the top 100 high schools in the country for the last 6 years. Mainly because they pick and choose the students they will take because of their AP program.

My english teacher at the time now teaches at Baylor (she was a MILF too), I'd venture to say she was pretty smart.
I'm not going to get into a silly war with you over a simple ten question quiz that was made in good fun.

Juneteenth, at least down here in the south, is celebrated like, right on my B-Day every year, which is June 17th.
Everyone knows the emancipation proclamation set the slaves free.. Well, there was no phones or email back then, and it took the word a couple of months to get to the southern states that they slaves were actually free... Six and a half months to be exact.
Juneteenth is for the day that the slaves were actually given notice that they were set free.

Just to harp on something someone said, it's true, teachers don't always know, just because they are teachers, that's very very true.
I had a keyboarding class in the 12th grade that i had to pass to graduate.. now mind you I was building computers and would get called out of class from time to time to fix computers around school, but my keyboarding teacher was so dumb she kept telling me I couldn't do anything in life if I didn't know how to use a PC.. and I could type faster then her... I actually got a B in the class, not because I didn't complete the tests she gave me.. but because I was hardley ever in class.
My Trig teacher tried to have me thrown out of her class because I never paid attention... all I did was read up on computers while I was in her class and it drove her crazy. Well, I knew I wasn't going to be a math major (even though I'm pretty good in it) so why not devote my time to something I knew I was going to end up doing? Even with me missing classes and not paying attention I still managed a B and B minus in her class first and 2nd semister.
One thing I hate about school, is that they make you sit though countless hours of bull**** you know you are never going to use because it has nothing to do with what you want to do... which is why I didn't want to go to college, well part of the reason.
Also, my KB is pretty ****ed up, I have to hit delete every other word because half of the words stick together... I tried to go get a Keyboard at best buy today but I took one look at the line and said **** that
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Backbreaker, your mistakes are not mistakes you make from keys sticking together. That would be mistakes like "Benjamiun" or "Hanxcock", not Benjermain and Handcock. Jusdaism, not Jewiasm.

If he is lying about this, I think he's lying about other stuff (like his business expertise) as well.
"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.

Sense we're pointing out errors, I thought it would be interesting to point out that question #6? "What is the original US Captail" (should be, "Where was the original US capitol) was wrong.
The answer you had was Philladolphia. Philadolphia was actually the THIRD US Capitol. The first was The Maryland State House in Annapolis Maryland. Followed by Federal Hall in New York. Followed by Congress Hall in Philladolphia. And then our current capitol.. Capitol Hill in Washington DC.

The quiz is biased towards Americans and Christians, so hardly can be used as a decent measure of intelligence/stupidity.
And I know you later said that anyone who thinks this is a measure of intelligence is stupid, but you said it yourself here in your first post.
"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.
