"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.

Congrats on the progress!
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Update...

Right before I did Tough Mudder, I was at my leanest and best shape. Over the winter, I joined a Crossfit gym and got lazy and went back up to 164. I quit that gym and decided to workout on my own. It's been two weeks and I've integrated stuff I did from my pre Tough Mudder workouts, barbell routines for Crossfit, and things I've read on these forums as well.

SoSuave as been monumental to my weight loss success, so I look forward to posting what I am doing in the coming weeks.

It's been between 75-80 pounds total. I won't go down under 155... I Was at 154 and looked ghastly. It took me about a year and a half. I wanted to make sure I lost weight the right way and took my time. I had to be patient about it too and learn how to be patient. I lost my first 17 pounds in about 3 weeks, so of course, you get excited...

And then you start hitting 1-2 a week. I realized that was normal. My early journal entries here showed how several SoSuave people gave me tips on how to eat better. The biggest change was in my nutrition. That made a BIG deal. I cut out the soda, white bread, white rice, white potatoes. That alone got me way down.

I think my first 60 lbs were lost just by eating well. And then the gym kicked in. Starting next Monday, I'll start posting what I am doing as well.

Another key thing for me was support. I had support from a few people (There are a lot of haters out there that will want you to GAIN weight) and SoSuave. Someone wanted me to do Tough Mudder so I did a 5 week program to get ready for it. I had never even done a 5K nor a mud race, so this was intimidating... and I managed to finish it all without a single problem. Back in 2009, there was no way I could ever see myself doing one in 2013.
