"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 I happened to be listening to 'morning edition' one morning about a year to a year and a half ago and they had a male and a female author talking about a book they had written completely full of 'backhanded compliments' and such that women use on one another.. All of them were highly plausible deniable cutdowns and self-esteem questioning things, and I thought it sounded pretty amusing at the time, but didn't bother to make a mental note of the author names or the title.. Im hoping someone here might know it, because all my efforts to search for it (google, amazon.com, etc) have lead me nowhere.. I know it has a male and female author, and I know that description that I gave, but have found it difficult to come up with 'search terms' to describe it accurately (other than backhanded compliments which didnt turn up much)..

Heeelp, pleeease! These things would likely step up anyone's game in conjunction with the 'MM' style thinking..
 

"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.

I'm not really sure of the book you're talking about, but DAMN, that WOULD be quite an asset for my game, (mostly MM mixed with Zan'ish' stuff). But, MM's game doesn't really heavily on negs. As in, you can only use at max, 3-5 negs in any given set. And some of those may be disqualifiers, and not even negs.
Even so, if you find that book, that would be AWESOME!
