"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.

This is crazy! Anderson Cooper has a show on tomorrow about women who are paying men alimony.

I'm not defending the idea, but isn't women paying men alimony the opposite of a double-standard?
That is my point. Men have been getting hit with this kind of thing for years, but the moment it happens to a woman it is a travesty. Why is it news now but not before?

Like you said, it was bound to happen.
It's still a little surprising to see some fair-minded judges out there though.

Hot dog.

Time to join the gravy train. Off to marry a fat, career girl so I can sign up for my perma-check. See you!
