"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.

Just curious. Because it would seem most veteran posters, even the older ones, dont have kids. And if they do have kids, it would seem few have daughters and most have sons. Ive noticed the men here with children have a very different outlook and perspective on dating and life. And there does seem to be different advice given amongst those parents with sons, or daughters, or both.

Though its possible most men with kids just simply dont mention them here.
 

"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.

I have an 11yo daughter. She is quite the little redneck just like her dad.

I was considering making a thread specifically about raising daughters but sounds like there wouldn't be any interest.

Doesn't work in your 'structure'.

Ooops. I meant to add the plural (s) in the forth option for those here who have both sons and daughters.

Real cool man. I actually want a daughter if I ever decide to have kids. I always felt more paternal about daughters than sons. Not that I wouldnt treat a son with as much love. Id like to have the son first though, so he can look out for his sister(s) and be the oldest.

And actually, when I thought up this topic, you and TicTac were one of the few guys I assumed had daughters. I was able to guess that based on how I see you two talk about females with regards to some topics...or just how you speak in general.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

:up: @mauser.

I have had exes with 11yo boys who were not bad kids but my objective opinion apples to apples: girls are easier to raise than boys. At least at this age.

One thing I dread about having a daughter is the teenage years.

Not only do I have to worry about her new found sense of self, and dealing with the battles that many teens and parents have...but I will also have to worry about her mental, physical, and emotional safety as she begins to go out into the world on her own more often.
