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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
No porn too... I'm signing on.OK guys it's time, it's time.

Sex is fine. Some of the men need to be re-trained so that sex is their only allowable outlet. Reward SUCCESS!Fvck. I'm in.
The longest I have gone is 16 days.
You guys really need to motivate me and help me through it.
No porn either for me. I know that after 6-7 days, if I watch porn, I'll give in.
I will however still be fvcking my girl. So for me, s3x is aloud.
Good luck. Day 1.
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.
Yes. Have SEX. But do not have SEX with yourself! SEX with a female is a REWARD for positive and successful behavior.I used to really commit to long periods of no fap and I definitely noticed it helped me act more natural/confident around girls.
Felt like my **** and brain were perfectly synced together, if that makes sense. Thinking about it, the same thing happens when I get really hungry too. All self consciousness fades away and I speak freely and confidently.
I know the science always gives mixed results but personally I think it works. It doesn't make any sense to refrain from sex in hopes of seeing the same results though.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

Good pun.This should go without saying for men who take pride in themselves. Amazing how far we have come.
ive seen blood work from people on no fap, the amount of free test seems to be an average of about 3-4 points, which is not noticeable. Sadly, it is placebo. What you are feeling is not a build up of testosterone, hormones do not work that way, you can only build as much as the negative feedback system will let you. What you are feeling is vitality, from not blowing your wad every day to a computer screen.Some things to be aware of (from someone with some experience with nofap)
First couple of days are usually easy
Days 4-10 are usually the hardest (for me anyway)
Day 11 testosterone levels peak and you should feel it.
Also at times you may feel depressed, anxious, tired and you **** may even feel dead. Thus is NORMAL. Do not panic, most guys fail at this stage and go back to fapping out of fear.
This stage is actually withdrawel from porn addiction so if this happens it's a good thing, this is a clear sign that porn and fapping has actually done some neurological damage which you probably aren't even aware of, and you can expect some major benefits if you can push through.
Good luck everyone.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
