"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.

A few girls at work asked me if I was going to be working this weekend, I told them no. They said "oh no, who are we going to tease if you're not here?" I said HB7 will be here, tease her. And one of the girls said "We don't want to tease HB7, she reacts. We like to tease you because you don't react".

Now I've heard all this theory about how girls like it if you're nonreactive and I suppose it made sense to me. But I've never heard a girl actually say it. I didn't even think they would be aware of it on a conscious level. Just thought I'd share.
 

"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.

Interesting, but not really surprising. Having a sense of humor, having humility and having a strong frame that won't rattle when others make fun of you, is always a plus. HB7 is probably too sensitive with the ragging and therefore isn't as much fun in that regard.

Teasing HB7 would be like kicking a hamster.
