"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.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Honestly, the article is talking a lot about BETA ass dudes..... There's a girl I'm talking to right now who I bang on a regular, have feelings for but I never am over excessive with neediness and I still spin other plates, hang out with friends and do my hobbies.......

I guess what I'm saying is.....who gives a ****? If that's how they want to think, that's just more openly encouraging them to ****.......I'm totally down with that. Send them my way......lmao
