"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Ok, so watching porn makes you feel like God in a way, because you basically have a very large choice of women to choose from on your computer screen, and clicking on any one of them results in her removing her clothes (or magically appearing totally naked) right there in front of you, whenever you want it.

Powerful stuff right there! Click a woman and she's naked. Sure, you can't touch her, but most of us are happy with that. Those of us who have some experience watching porn, how many naked girls have we seen thanks to the Internet during our lives so far? 500? 1000? 10000? It's crazy!

And most of them are usually super hot babes! Which makes me think, what can be the consequences of such exposure to this huge number of "perfect" or near perfect women?

Does it make our standards increase? Do we then only want to have sex with super hot women and consider average looking ones as ugly? Because, you know, seeing so many naked HB's, our minds become biased into thinking that's the norm for what women should look like.

So, another question i have is, does seeing so many great looking women lead to men being less satisfied with the woman they are with if she is not a super babe?
Or maybe is it a helpful thing in that normal women we talk to in real life will probably be less attractive than the ones we see naked on the net, so they become easier to talk to ?

Yeah, those were some of the thoughts i was having lately about watching porn and the influence it may or may not have on individuals. What are your thoughts about all this?
 

"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.

IMO, the vast majority of women in pornos are not HBs. Maybe 6s at best. Occationally you'll find a HB8 or so, but I can find much hotter ones in bars and clubs - plus I get to touch them :p

Porn has made me raise my standards though. Now I find fake boobs disgusting, thanks to porn.

Porn is for guys who can't get women.

I'm with The Truth on this one. Porn is a waste of time, if you ask me. So thats why I generally don't bother with it. I mght look at some ONLY when I'm really bored ( doesn't happen often ) but it isn't ususally for long. Unlike my brother, who probably has about 30 videos of porn on his account! :rolleyes:
