"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.

Trying to shed some of the more debilitating AFC behaviours over my last weeks in Indonesia was great--it was obvious that once I started to read the threads that a few changes needed to be made. Thanks for the DJs who got me started in the right direction. Unfortunately I spent most of my time in that great country doing AFC crap and regreted it.

Back home for a couple of days now and being sent out to the Pacific now--Solomons and Vanuatu. Got a question for a master DJ as AFC affects yer professional life too--might have to be a private message though. New assignment be very different and no place for an AFC either--nowhere is really, cos you're not being true to yourself--had that sorted for a long time. Used to think I was 'missing out' if didn't have a girl around--just enjoying doing my own thing a lot more now. Got a lot of work to do yet though. :up:
Will keep you posted...P
What's up Puddly,

Glad to see you're still improving man. Keep it up.
 

"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.

How do..?

Hi all. I've been a bit quiet lately cos I got sent out to somewhere in the South Pacific for at least the next few months so I've had to concentrate on work for a spell. Doesn't mean though that I haven't been trying to apply what I'm learning here practically everyday if not actually following the boot camp.
As I couldn't bare the AFC 'lifestyle' much longer--even if I have other parts of life sorted so am continuing on the quest! One thing I have noted is that if you are AFC vis a vis women, it follows that you act that way with work and business a lot too, so that's another reason to try to get a handle on things. Have been seriously taken advantage of business wise and can say that being a AFC was a reason. So while I say I have other things sorted out but after a pretty sucessful time as a younger bloke (even LTR with a 9) but turned to ruin (yeah a shocking case of oneitis) I sort of fell into some bad habits...
I don't mind saying that I have squandered a fair amount of cash/time in the *recent* past on 'renters' (pros and sluts). But its really not my scene and need to get into some social circles where interest is genuine and something a little more meaningful might come about. Anybody else been through these phases? Any insights? Cheers, P
