"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.

Sigh... Maybe that one teacher was right.

Maybe that one teacher was right, maybe I do have something called 'autism'. If that was true, that would explain my life being such a damn social failure, never having any friends, not having any friends, not being as open as other people, that might explain this block that I always feel in my brain, maybe that explains my bad vision, maybe that explains why I JUST CAN'T trust people, if this is true, then it by all means, sucks because of this, I will never be able to lead a good social life. And I want to know, first of all, do you think from the things that I listed, that I really do have it? Secondly, if you knew you were born with this sucky ass disease, how would you cope with it?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

You don't have any disease, you need to lighten up.
That's it, really. Stop over-dramatizing things in proper teenage fashion :D

I'm certainly not normal.
 

"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.

We've tried to help but enough is enough. You b*tch and moan and complain and now you think you have a disease because youre a nerd and a loser. Stop being in fvckin denial about your life. Youre THE MOST NEGATIVE PERSON ive ever fvckin come in contact with. Until you stop making excuses for yourself, dont post this useless bullsh*t because no one feels sorry for your punk ass. Go tell your parents about your newly contracted disease and see what they say. I kinda think youre a troll cause youre ALWAYS at rock bottom. Nothing positive EVER happens. Go to a shrink and let them at least get paid to put up with your dumbass.

You know, what, I think your the troll here, you don't even read the post for crying out loud. When you know what you're talking about, post. You're the only one complaining here, I was only asking how you would cope with it.

Autistic men can get women if they apply them selves.

Well, first step is to boost your confidence. As Happy people make others happy which makes them like you. Learn how to smile often even when you are in a very bad mood. Or listen to a cheerful piece of music and smile while you listen to it.

Another was is to write a list of things like

I'm amazing
I look great
I'm the best at basketball (or whatever)

etc. and repeat the list to yourself everyday before you go to sleep.

If autism is mental retardation than you obviously don't have it or else you wouldn't have been able to type up that post and not make a single spelling error. What you do have is a lack of self-confidence, which you can improve through exercising, socializing more (if you don't know how, then quit *****ing and learn), read some books and look into the subject of psychology for confidence improving exercises like meditation. Good luck.

Yes, you're correct but there is such a thing as having slight, autism.

Youre a coward. You cant admit that youre a loser so you assume you have autism. Go talk to your parents about it if it worries you so much. Disgraceful.:down:
 

"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.

you're not autistic, you're probably just a boring nerd. just work on improving your convo skills and humor. besides, i remember you saying you're fat so try working out. i bet you're ugly too, get a cool haircut and a sense of style. i'm no dj but i was in the same place as you and i went from being shy, nerdy and quiet to having a lot more friends and knowing a lot more girls. and if you really are autistic why would you come onto this forum and whine about it, go get some help

Using logic doesn't appeal to him, as it seems.:crackup:

Stop being a$$es. Why in heck would u kick someone when they r down and how do any of you "experts" know if he has autism or not.

My advice is my brother has something very similar to autism and socializing doesnt come easy for him but he makes it up by going out 10 times more than I do so dont let whatever you have (if you do have something) hold you down

Read his other stuff. Believe me, we've tried to help him. He never seems to take the advice. And then to top it off, he makes posts like this.

Edit:

Autism-A psychiatric disorder of childhood characterized by marked deficits in communication and social interaction, preoccupation with fantasy, language impairment, and abnormal behavior, such as repetitive acts and excessive attachment to certain objects. It is usually associated with intellectual impairment.



.......No....he doesn't have this.

Do you know what he actually suffers from.....the lack of iniative.

I have mild autism, and I have plenty of friends, a social life, a smoking hot amazing girlfriend, I am open when the time calls for it, and have 20/10 vision. Your autism isn't holding you back. It's your lack of confidence.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
