"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Hey guys!

What do I do when people pull out the race card? I wouldn't mind if it's like a joke or two and I usually laugh along but it just gets annoying sometimes.

How do I respond to them when they stereotype me for an asian(im filipino)? Should I tell them to stop or curse at them or something? I know I shouldn't let them get to me but I also don't wanna feel like im being walked on.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I'm asian too, and I've found that the best way to deal with race jokes and stuff is with humor.

Don't let it get to your head, because 99% of the time people aren't actually being serious when they say mention stereotypes.

You could also joke back with them with some funny things about their race.

Most importantly, don't take it too seriously, and use humor in response - never get too worked up.

It literally doesn't matter what you do as long as you show that it doesn't affect you at all.

Back in like September when I didn't know this, there was a class where I sat at a table with 3 other guys, all definite alphas. There was one day where they spent about 30 minutes of class time just bombarding my *ss with asian jokes, and I kept trying to make comebacks, but obviously I was getting raped 3 on 1. It was pissing me off too.

I've changed a lot since then. People still give me sh1t about being asian. Sometimes it's in good fun and I just laugh along. If someone's really trying to knock me down, I won't even bother with a comeback and just ignore them. The other day, one of those 3 guys who was making fun of me before, the guy who was being the biggest d1ck about it, cracked some asian joke at me and I just slowly gave him a ****y smile without saying anything. He stopped.

Just keep it KOOL. one slight hint on anoyance and they will rape you with race jokes.

You gotta see humour in the things they pull off, sometimes even joke along (if its not THAT offensive) and they will like you for the fact that you kept it KOOL and understood their joke.

However if it is offensive you can call out on something completely irrelevant that will totally bust their balls , again KEEPING it kool.

They obviously now realised that one of your weaknesses is that you get pissed off about the race jokes - so make it your strong point, show them that you dont give a flying **** and you are proud of who you are.

Has one of them got a big nose, he says something about asians and you bust his balls on the way he looks, I hope you get the idea - CRACK THEIR WEAKNESSES AND STRENGHN YOURS
 

"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.

Aren't the Phillipines a part of Asia? Wouldn't that make you asian?
