"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.

Question:

If the west is so fukked, why there are wars being fought and billions being spent to implement what we have here on the other side of the world ?
 

"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.

Let me take a contrary view. The US (and other Western countries with a cultural emphasis on individuality, e.g.: Australia, Canada, Ireland, ect.) are not facing imminent doom.

Given all the evidence, why do I say this? I say this because we are having this conversation now. The androgynous population will not amount to much; we know this already. We will though. In any dynamic, 20 percent do 80 percent of the real work. That 20 percent are people like us, whether or not they are on this web forum.

It is on us though to embrace the responsiblity that we have been given. I'm all up for it.

I'd recommend reading The Next 100 Years by George Friedman. Something that he pointed out was that, for whatever reason, Americans have this constant fixation that their country is about to face ruin. Now he argues that is actually in a bizarre way a strength, since it drives us to work harder and has kept us on top.

Obviously hasn't done much for your country's collective IQ, I mean - you guys did vote Dubbya Bush, aka The Village Idiot from Texas, to be your president for 8 years.
