"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.

The more I read, I realize that Pook is right.

Here's a couple more to add to your "Black Folder", Pook.


Wedding bells aren't ringing, but neither are phones of divorce lawyers

http://news.yahoo.com/s/usatoday/20...entringingbutneitherarephonesofdivorcelawyers

excerpt:

n the USA, 8.1% of coupled households are made up of unmarried, heterosexual partners. Although many European countries have higher cohabitation rates, divorce rates in those countries are lower, and more children grow up with both biological parents, even though the parents may not be married, Popenoe says.

The USA has the lowest percentage among Western nations of children who grow up with both biological parents, 63%, the report says.

"The United States has the weakest families in the Western world because we have the highest divorce rate and the highest rate of solo parenting," Popenoe says.

"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.

Why is everybody sooo concerned about decreased reproduction rates? At 6.5 billion, we're not exactly in danger of extinction...

I didn't even realize anyone had replied to this post.

I'm not exactly sure of the mathematics involved in this, because I haven't done enough study on the subject. This decrease HAS gotten the attention of the United Nations. There's a pdf file of the U. N. meeting that I have on my hard drive that Pook posted in one of his population posts. I'll try to find it and post it here.

I'm not even sure if this is in the right thread. I was just posting links about population decline. I love women.
 

"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.

Because population rates a decreasing in developed Western Nations, while there is a population boom in the 3rd world countries. Basically speaking, this means that in 50 years or so, the US will probably end up changing its name to The United States of Mexico.

There have been studies showing that in 2012 or so, there will be more mexicans in California then caucasions.

Declining population rates worry organizations like the U.N. because it's bad for the economy. Today it takes 3 people working underneath 1 person that has a pension, just to cover the pension costs. Companies today do not offer pensions and instead offer 401k's and such, but not only for this reason, also because job security is non-existant.

i don't know what sources you're citing, centaurion, but what studies say is that in 2012 in california the most part of the population will be non-caucasian, not only mexican
