"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.

Hello all,

A little bit of background. I've been reading this forum for a while now and believe that a lot of the tips set out are very useful. I do however feel that some members over analyse things too much. I am 20 years old and attend university in the UK. I have not had sex with a girl and my experience is limited. I will outline however which factors I feel are most important for other AFCs to consider.

I'm in a stage of mild oneitis/crush over someone at university. With this in mind, I have decided to put down what I feel are the most important ingredients for attracting female attention. In order to counteract this oneitis I think that getting away from the girl involved or looking at her negative aspects is essential.

I think that I am good looking but my inexperience with women is due to a lack of opportunities, until recently I have not been socialising that much at bars and clubs. Therefore, merely getting out there and trying your luck is probably the most important aspect to consider.

Next, being able to interpret signs of attraction is important but I feel that this is not an exact science and should be used as an additional component. Please do not feel that body language is that indicative alone.

Next, confidence really does matter. You have to understand that what other people think does not count for anything. What you think of yourself and being sure in your own skin is much more important.

Personality - think of people that you get on well with. There are people who are always happy and have a positive outlook in life. These people tend to get on better with the ladies. It is easy to understand this as some of my best friends are the people that I can turn to when I'm feeling a bit low to help me laugh, raise a smile or just be a shoulder to cry on.

Conversation - for me with people at university it is difficult to move the conversations away from work which I feel is a grave mistake. If you just talk about work you're like all the other AFCs - the girl has to remember you and when she thinks of you she thinks of your witty, charming and chirpy qualities not the fact that you've turned two essays in late.

Any opinions on my first post would be great!

Many thanks
 

"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.
