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.
Women under 30 can have tight abs though. As they get older they generally don't.
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.
Women can have tight abs, but they aren't as large or developed as ours can be. The difference is why a lot of women are fascinated with them.
Great. Running out of excuses.
If it's OLD though then as they all say the face is the most important feature, especially for your main profile pic has to be an excellent face shot.
You should stop running altogether until you build some mass. Take a 6 month break. Hit the gym. Lift weights.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
I have to work on my taxes this week though and orders.
A sheep saw a wolf in a sheep's cloth. He ask himself if that was really a wolf, and if it's going to eat any sheep (maybe he just want to be like us?)? Sheep keep asking it and got frozen by his doubts.
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
But you have lots of time to post here on SoSuave.
Hey, somebody has to pay the bills.
Well like today I was bored. Getting ready for dinner then my part time job I work as a second job. Browsed OLD but no new faces and no one even worth writing a message to. Same crap.
Don't post anything else in Sosuave unless it's with regards to the original intent of this thread.
Stop encouraging him. BTW, he's not going to change. He doesn't have to. He's posts here and the community gives him attention; which makes him feel good. Kind of like a dopamine hit.. You know, similar to how a lady feels when dudes fawn all upon her for no reason... He has an easy life. Mom pays his bills, lives at home (at 36), and posts here on SS to kill time. No expenses, no financial stresses, why should he stress about life?
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
How about you do some push ups walk the planks and core work while you're waiting for the machine?
I'm a big believer in stationary bike. A peddler machine to put under desk can be inexpensive as $20.... I've started a push up routine from reading this thread. I've owned a weider pull up tower I put myself together since 2009. When I finally put it together I summed it up with a facebook post. Since then my facebook account has been desolate. Weider used to make some unbelievable exercise equip. Titan fitness also makes a pretty mean pulley. I was thinking of buying bd52 pulley system. I mean tri pulldowns can wait. Titan sent me two sets of padding for a back extension I ordered. You could say they give you free equipment. Update when you finally put the "set up" together
Stop doing Cardio. And my god if you have to please do it outside where there is actual wind resistance.
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.
