"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.

Ok looks like Ill be moving to Atlanta in the next month. Somewhere in the Alpharetta vicinity. Anybody know anything about Atl from a mature DJ standpoint? Good places, places to aviod, general attitudes and such? Last time I was there all the girls I talked to were pretty open and friendly. Wierd thing was after I mentioned what I did for a living most of them said something to the effect of "wow, you must make pretty good money then.." Kinda off putting in a golddigger sort of way. None of them seemed the type and I can usually tell. Mature DJs in Atl and from there speak up.
Searched the wingman forum and got basically zip. Im posting here cause Im not looking for "dude I go to xxxx high, we should hang out sometime.."
 

"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.

dude, if i was stuck in america like you are i would chill with high school guys before i dealt with guys your age. nothing more depressing than to be 30, male, and living in the usa. at least high school guys feel that the world is theirs. a little more uplifting than hanging around 30 year old men who are filled with self doubt and pity.

It's a rough tough game for the American males in the early 30s. Being one, I won't deny that at all.. I have learned that the only way to win this struggle is to fight back.. I am doing that by bulking up at the gym and following the guidance of this site.. :box: I would love to know more about why our generation is like it is, though.... I have some theories but would like to hear some others comment first..

Really? I had no idea. I am surpised that anyone would think this way. My life gets better every year. Everything is what you make of it.

Holy crap. Uh thanks, you guys are awesome. Go bitcch around on your own thread.
 

"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.

I lived in Atlanta several years and moved away eight years ago, so take that in to account when reading. Alpharetta is a far northern 'burb of Atlanta. If it's anything like Roswell it's conservative and family-oriented, so you may have to go to Atlanta for nightlife.

What kind of scene do you like? If you want to be in the center of the action go to Buckhead, but by the time I turned 26 it had lost most of its appeal. Check out Virginia Highlands, there's a pretty good nightlife especially if you like blues clubs. Still fun, but more mellow than Buckhead. Little Five Points was a nice alternative scene, not sure if it still is.

Atlanta has a ton of transplants. Be prepared to have several groups of friends as people often move out as quickly as they moved in.
