"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 highly-interested and low-maintenance woman will make dating a piece of cake.

I'm looking back on that bytch I dumped over 3 months ago, and I can't believe how fvcking broken up I was over it. If you remember my post, it was the chick who wanted to take her single male friend to a fetish party, and I was doubting my decision to break up with her.

Whenever I cut a chick free from my life, I usually find a new one within a week. I met the new one the day after I cut contact with miss fetish party. We've been seeing each other for over 3 months now and other than some AFC posting romantic junk on her FB page (which I brought to her attention), there have been no problems. NOT ONE.

This chick is fun, sexy, feminine, and actually puts herself in situations which cater to my happiness. I'm having a huge back yard party this weekend, and she's been PESTERING ME to come over and help clean my house. So I had her over here, and she did a fantastic job. She's coming over before the party to do some touch-up cleaning and make some food for my guests.

SERIOUSLY. Why the fvck was I so broken up over the last one? She was a piece of trash compared to this chick.

This is how it's supposed to be. I'm not supposed to stress out over a woman's male orbiters. I'm not supposed to tell her I don't want to hear about her wild sex experiences. I'm not supposed to hear "I have to think about being exclusive". A quality chick will make everything easy.
 

"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.

You were broken up at the time because she was your only option. I'm not saying: SPIN PLATES, SPIN PLATES, SPIN PLATES, BAH GAWD, SPINE PLATES.

I mean, I know you go into LTR's and approach them full on, so it's obvious you'd have one at the time, but as soon as another option enters into the fray, it seems like it's only a matter of time before you forget.

We don't always see things objectively while we are in the actual situation, so it's natural to feel that way immediately after. It's only with time, wisdom, and with other women do we realize that the rose-colored glasses aren't so rose-colored anymore.

Great post Des! It can't be said enough, there's always another potentially better one waiting just around the corner.

It's easy to forget that when we're feeling off our game. Regardless of experience in the game it happens to everyone.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Sometimes that can be hard to remember. It's the mentality of "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". Not all old sayings are necessarily accurate.
