"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.
UNPOPULAR OPINION: only believers should pay the church-part of tax

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

The same reason you pay for sports stadiums if you aren't a sports fan or pay for schools and parks and playgrounds if you don't go to them or don't have kids. Because it isn't always about YOU.

I think the big difference, at least in the USA, is that sports teams pay tax. Churches do not. Also, churches, as a point of religious freedom, can bar participation based on belief... in addition, churches can and do discriminate based on belief, they are even free with having to comply with ADA. Stadiums, parks, public schools, playgrounds, etc.... not only have to be open to all, but they also have to comply with accessibility standards published by the ADA.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
How am I gonna do that? I’m forced to pay taxes whether I want to or not. They take that tax money and give it to her in the form of WIC, free daycare, Medicaid, food stamps, free community college, etc. I’m not talking about single mothers with MY kid, I’m talking about all single mothers out there that we are paying for.
yeah. system is designed to make beta males pay for women who chased chad's ****. this is all new world order. women getting pregnant with chad and giving birth to superior genetically kids while tax paid by beta males is increasing and directed at these single mums
Oh I know what you meant. My point was you’re still paying for single moms that you aren’t dating or don’t even know. We all are. I don’t have any kids, I don’t mind paying for a condom.lol

You shouldn't have to. Birth control ought to be free for everyone ( a policy the churches would oppose). One unwanted kid probably costs society more than a mountain of condoms.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
I do know that I pay high taxes for public schools and state colleges, where I disagree with much of what is taught in liberal arts schools and colleges..And I don't even have a kid going to any of these..

You don't pay for churches.
The people who give money to churches pay for churches.
Churches don't pay taxes on that money, but how do you figure you are paying for churches?
A better argument would be that you are paying taxes and they aren't so it's not fair.
A counter to that would be to figure out a way to not pay taxes, like Jeff Bezos.
That is a legitimate argument.
But the general counter argument is that you live in a society filled with educated people that you benefit from, so your taxes are going toward helping you live a better life.
Of course, the counter to that counter would be a trip to your local walmart, and ask, "What the fvck are you talking about?"
