"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.

I've tried saying hi to a couple people when they walk by but my voice is so damn deep and low they can never hear me. Even if I'm right next to them they sometimes can't hear me. But when I'm talking to my family I talk with the same voice level and they can hear me fine. Also, at dances I've gone to when I'm slow dancing I have to yell for the girl to even hear me, and even then she sometimes can't hear me. And then when the louder music comes on there's no reason for me to even say anything because she's not going to hear me. Is there a way you can make your voice louder?

I forgot to say, I've been slightly more outgoing, and I've said some things that would have been funny, but then the person doesn't hear what I said, and goes what did you say, but then the joke is dead by then. Do I have to result to yelling for people to hear me?
 

"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.

Im the same way, except my voice is VERY deep. When ever your by yourself and noone is around just practice yelling (not screaming) It will help raise your voice level some or atleast it did mine. Just don't go around yelling at everyone :p

I talk with the same voice level and they can hear me fine.
This is because their your family and their use to you talking that way. Some stranger isn't going to be use to it.

Your voice isn't low, your just pushing it. You've adjusted to it, but it's actually negatively effecting your projection and tone. Look up speech pathology in the bookstore and online.

What you need to do is learn to bring your voice out of your throat to it's proper level.

How can you say his voice isnt low?? Once my brother and i were talking with my uncle and our mom with in talking distance and they didnt hear a word we said but we heard each just fine. All you have to do is just talk a little louder and youll be good. Having a deep voice is cool cause girls think its hot and people think it sounds cool for some reason.

i'm the same. deep voice = powerful as long as people can hear what you're saying.

in loud atmospheres the deepness of your voice is lost to surroundings. in these places, try raising the pitch of your voice a little or stand closer to the person you're talking to. if you can, isolate with the person to a quiet spot. if you're raising the pitch of your voice, only do it a little, cuz you don't want to sound like your typical campman

fingers wrote a post called "empower your voice". i used his main exercises and it deepened my voice even more. but he said in it that your perfect pitch can be high; it doesn't have to be as low as possible.

he also recommended singing along with songs when you're on your own. prevents you talking in a monotone voice
 

"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.
