"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.

...but of course I never listened until now.

1) "Boyfriends mean nothing". By this she meant that even if a girl has a boyfriend that doesn't mean you should stay away. She said that most girls are dating a given guy just waiting for a better one to show up.

2) "Just get a girlfriend... ANY girlfriend". She could tell that I was lousy with girls from a young age... and with this meant that I should just get out there and date SOMEONE. I never really understood why... but now I know that it gets you experience and confidence, and to be seen with girls is social proof. Even not-too-attractive girls, I think.

Good stuff, I think.
 

"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.

your mom sounds straight.
My mom didnt give advice because my older borther isn't too girl-savvy. her advice to me is; dont use girls, dont bother with girls who flake, dont bother with clingy girls, and do your own thing and enjoy highschool.
moms are kinda usefully. My dad on the other hand has never given me girl advice at all. Except to not as 2 girls to homecoming before the first gives you an answer...he got 2 dates to homecoming, and then he had none lol

problem with advice #2 is the collateral damage.

we can all imagine being the victim of this by someone "hotter than us". not fun right?

and yet, it DOES seem that the way this is supposed to work, we have to exploit each other in order to get ahead.

this may be the way of the world but i'm still not comfortable with it.
------------------------------------------------------------------

must the world be this cruel? after thinking about things a bit, it seems like:

1. bullies and people who mock and ridicule - all the cruel kids in the school yard are doing a service - they TORMENT those who are not sexually viable. if the guys is an unmasculine nerd, if the girl is piece of lard.

they are made to feel bad and awful about themselves. bullies are almost evolution's agents!

2. we plow through the field fvcking and using each other. we inflict pain heedlessly because this pain will motivate the victims to become better.

is the way of the world really so goddamn cold?

perhaps it really is.
