"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.
Ring toss.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
I love wearing rings. Don't really know why but I like the feel of something around my finger. I wear a thumb ring (right hand), a ring on each index finger, and a pinky ring on my right hand. I dress kinda of rockstar-ish so it works with my style. I've also got a skull ring that I wear on my middle finger on occasions. All my rings are either stainless steel or titanium.
Check out www.overstock.com They've got some decent looking rings for acceptable prices. I've bought all of mine from overstock and got each for less than $40 dollars including some titanium rings that I've seen retail for $100+

"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.

Hmm, to me it almost seems like compensating for something thats missing. I dont actually think I have seen any guys that look good with rings either. I would try harder to look good naturally instead of worrying about accessories.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I wear my rugby championship ring sometimes. Our team won a provincial title a couple years ago and we all got these goldplated rings with a red stone in the middle. It's pretty bad ass, looks sick, and reminds me to be strong. I must have injured myself 3 or four times(knee, wrist, elbow, finger) during that season, but I played almost every game and left blood and sweat on every field.
I'm pretty proud of it and its always a good DHV story.
To all the dudes who say it's gay to wear a ring... Lighten up a little. I'd never wear multiple rings, it makes me feel cheesy, but one ring that really means something to you... Why the hell not?

Lets also concider who wears rings for a status symbol. Is anyone here in an organization like the masons where wearing a certian type of ring can denotate rank? Some of the gang members and organized criminals wear rings for status too. I'm sure some of your are framiler with the phrase "Kiss the ring b*tch." Trust me you have to be very powerful person to have some one kiss your ring like that.The Bat said:

Bump!
I bought a new ring! A silver one to match some of my watches. I only have two rings now but they play big rolls when i go out in few ways. Kind of a nice touch.

Nah I don't wear rings. I might pick one up once I get some disposable income but there are many other things that I would rather pick up than some round metal thing that doesn't do anything.

I sport a gold pinky ring on occasion, and I also have a thumb ring that a buddy picked up for me in Hawaii. The gold ring has sentimental value to me. When I first began to play poker back in '96, there were always these old guys that wore big, gaudy pinky rings bedazzled with diamonds. I remember thinking how the pinky ring was kind of something that true card players wore. Stupid, I know.
At any rate, when I won a sizeable chunk of change for winning my first tournament, I went out and bought a gold pinky ring. Nothing too crazy, no diamonds. It's pretty understated, and actually looks kind of like the tire ring you linked to.
Two rings. One thumb, one pinky. Not necessarily worn all the time or together.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I won a ton of cash at poker last night!...two G's in my pocket...I bought, a 57 dollar callaway gunmetal watch to go with my black ring. Styling is addictive if you have the funds for such.
