"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.

So... My girlfriend is seeing a radical feminist psychologist -_-

She recently lost her father, and she decided she needed someone to talk to, to sort things out, which in itself I find nothing wrong with. However, what started as an innocent visit to rationalize her feeling of loss became a crusade by her psychologist, who is a bloody radical feminist.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a chauvinist male, or a misogynist; I believe in equality of sexes in the sense that both men and women have their evolutionary traits that are translated into specific strengths and weaknesses, and into specific characteristics. However, she on the other hand, is a chauvinist female.

Right now, my girlfriend is laughing it off, saying she doesn't believe any of that bullcrap. She does, however, appreciate other aspects of her visits, as she is very good at helping her with her feeling of loss. Hence, she doesn't want to stop seeing her. Problem is, she is at a somewhat vulnerable state of mind, so I'm sure she's going to be more impressionable, and I'm kind of worried that the shrink will corrupt her way of thinking.

What would you guys do in my situation?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

If she values you more, she probably won't want to lose you and won't apt feminist views that will chase you away. Just stick to your values and self belief and don't change for her or succumb to her.
 

"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.
