"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 just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

She looked fine until they started morphing her into some anime looking chick. Let the geeks play Warcraft and keep them away from Photoshop! :woo:
Ironically, this was created by the very same companie (Dove I think) that use the most beautiful women in the world most of the time to sell their products.Hello hypocrisy. It's marketing.Blue Phoenix said:See for yourself:

Frankly, there's no much point...you can take any women and turn her into some glamourous perfect image using photoshop...So.......? You can take any women and give her the head of W. Bush using photoshop...what's the point?
I see plenty of stunning chicks in real life everyday, pretty girls are even more beautiful without makeup, are they photoshoped irl too? Some girls are inherently more attractive than others. Same for men. Except the same women who shout "Yeah! 'bout time somebody tell it like it is! every girl that's more attractive than me is either photoshoped or has plastic surgery" (sure, whatever you say) will also reserve the right to drool over "hunks".
That **** catters to ugly chicks who wants to feel better.
Thread should be closed like the 80+ page awful thread.

BINGO! You just nailed the reasoning behind that vid :rock: Thats the reason nothing more nothing less. They are saying "dont feel bad by looking at women in magazines cause on the inside they look just like you. Use our products to get that natural healthy skin and beauty"Dmr9 said:That **** catters to ugly chicks who wants to feel better.

The point of the movie is that those "artificial beauties" are demanding too much from women regarding their appearance. No wonder some of them are never happy no matter how beautiful they are!
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Our perception of beauty IS messed up. It's not even that most media images of people (men and women) are altered... it's that they're in our faces all the time and feature the hottest 1,000 people on the planet (OK that's a random number, but you get my point).
Let's say you live in a small town with 1000 people, and always have. You have no T.V., no internet, no movies. Now, you'd pretty clearly think that the ten hottest girls in that town were primo stuff.
Now add in all that media, and you are aware of the Angelina Jolies, the Jessica Albas, the Halle Barrys, etc. of the world. NOW what do you think of the girls that you see walking down the street, even the hottest one in town?
And since our society is obsessed with notions of "you must be the best you can be", "get all you can", and so on... there is a part of us that now feels cheated. It's not a conscious thing, like "Why can't I have someone as hot as Miss Alba"... but a subconscious thing. When you're out with Jenny Down the Block (NOT her, dum dums), you can't help but feel inside like you could do better...
...even though, unless you're Brad Pitt, you can't.
It's for this reason that I periodically go on total girl-picture breaks. NO porn, and avoid at all costs looking at stuff with ultra-attractive women. You know... I think it works.

Angelina Jolie, and Halle Berry aren't even that hot. They would blend in at your typical Scottsdale club on a Friday night. There's nothing special about them... It's about time to stop worrying about what Hollywood thinks is hot, and think for yourself. The girls out there in mainstream Hollywood are nothing special. The cover girl for Maxim is hot, and girls in porn are hot. Notice media that targets men has it right at least. I couldn't care less about these women actors in hit movies, or models picked out by gay men.

i have seen many of these morphing techniques and photoshop jobs and i'm quite dissappointed when i see my favorite victorias secret model has cottage cheese on her ass in a regular photo.
Understand they make things like this more for women than for men. Average girls look at stuff like this to make them feel better about themselves. And that's fine.
You guys sure do get outraged about silly stuff on this site.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Reminds me of that time when I saw pictures of elisha cuthbert without makeup. For some reason it was stunning. I should have known, but still, I was in a state of WTF. I think I still have the link to the site too. yup- http://www.wwtdd.com/post.phtml?pk=1553 Although I could've sworn I saw these same pictures a long time ago from the same site. The site's date has to be wrong.
