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.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
lol. Don't go encouraging another player to play dirty. I almost broke the spine of the last kid I faced that played dirty. Everyone in my league or w/e played dirty this year. 2 kids on my team were competing to see who could throw the most punches in the ruck. It was sad. I just hit dirty players hard enough to keep them out for the rest of the season (at 6'2 with a muscular build I can pretty much knock the **** out of most guys up to probably 4 years older than me, working in construction has its benefits lol). If you want intensity then screw football and play rugby. Football just annoys me lol. Another pain in the ass sport is soccer. When they play like drama queens and fake injuries and whatnot.. Anyways if you want non-stop hardcore intensity then rugby is the sport for you. If you're worried about injuries play soccer or volleyball.navyseal2101 said:I gotta say Rugby is the best sport besides MMA, mabye even tied. Football cant touch it, and i've never played lacrosse, but it looks interesting, but do MMA or Rugby, youl be satisfied. MMA would be safer if that matters too much, but both are fairly safe sports so yo dont have to worry about getting badly injured or anything. If you have a good arm you may have a nice punch or if your good at passing backwards, your good for rugby.
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.
