"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.

I agree, yes. To play the devil's advocate, though, I would imagine some guys fudge the numbers when they know it is otherwise. But I don't believe it happens all that often, or on a significant basis, because it is inherently rooted in opinion on the small scales.

Beauty is inherently objective on the larger scale, but subjective on the small scale and in the small differentials due to the minute personal preferences each man has.

Edit: Too many big words, finals studies are getting to me. Even now, I'm seeing my own behavior; competing and showing off with word-play, just the same as another guy may post that he landed a 9. It's a subconscious action taken, and not necessarily consciously thought about.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

which is stupid beucse at the end of the day the only person you are lying to is yourself.

in other words, if you truely think you are a 6 but say you are a 8 and you say you have confidence and high self esteem and you don't but you still cant' get girls, beucase you are lying to yourself first and foremost you aren't going to get to the root of the problem at hand.

Many, many people would rather believe lies than face the truth. ;)

I agree, most definitely. Lying to yourself is the quickest way to lose. However, for the sake of reference, I was considering numbers related more so to women than men; I don't think men fudge their own numbers about themselves often at all.
