"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.

If you think this is hostility you have no idea what this forum is really about. Sit back, grab a drink, open your mind, you may learn something.
 

"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.

I'll tell you I know lots of girls who find men who can't (or choose not to) drink as HUGE turnoffs.
Probably not the drinking itself, but the behaviour. Just try it and see for yourself. If you're sober around people who had as little as 5 beers you'd act 600% less direct, 'silly' and less 'blunt'.

Get off your high horses and realize just because your game sucks when your drunk doesn't mean you have to be bitter and get angry with those who have more success with it. I mean what other possible reason could explain all the hostility on this board?

How did this turn into "don't drink". It's not about that. Drinking is fun. But it should enhance the good mood you're already in. Seems pretty straightforward.

The best part is when it switches over from drinkin alcohol to pick up chics to drinkin alcohol because you like the taste of booze and f*ck what anybody else thinks!

Yeeeah! That's how I roll!

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

A master don juan is silky smooth at all times. I am no master don juan, so the alcohol helps calm the nerves when I make an approach on a random at a club. However, getting drunk and doing stupid things, like slurring your speech and stumbling, is an entirely different story.

I've partied in Providence. I'd make the drive up to Boston.
