"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 created a profile on plentyoffish.com, without a display pic. I have had several replies (i have 2 pics set on private and send them out to the girls that reply to me). I'm 21 right now, and I consider myself to be fairly good looking. However whenever I reply to their replies (with my pic if they request it, which they usually do), I don't hear back from any of them. I don't get it...

I'm of an average build, 5'10", 170lbs, brown hair and eyes...like I said, I condsider myself to be fairly good looking, however after I send them my pic, it seems like they ignore me.

I've never been good with ladies, and I've had more than my fair share of ONEITIS...but this is starting to worry me, though only slightly. What do you all think?
 

"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.

I think you should stop worrying. We have pretty much the same build from your description (I hover about 180) and am seeing 2 girls right now.

It's all about doing something with yourself. I'm studying languages in my spare time for fun, girls love to hear about it (apparently). So get yourself a hobby, devote yourself to that, talk about it avidly, and it will spark their interest more than a photo.

Oh, and exercise at least twice a week. It does all kinds of good things for you. Physically and mentally. Even if you never mention it and you keep a paunch, the girls can tell if you exercise from your attitude.

I'm doing p90x and I've been playing guitar for 6 years...so yeah, I think we've got something going there lol. I did not mention any of that in the profile, although I probably should have.
