"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.

was John Lennon an AFC?

The other day, a friend of mine accused John of being AFC because of the whole Yoko thing...how she supposedly "broke up the Beatles" (bs, IMO) and how John took a 5-year break from music to become a "househusband." But it's not as if the man stayed home to raise his son Sean while Yoko went out and brought in the income. John had already been a multimegamillionaire and a world idol for 10 years by that time. He had the time and resources, and really wanted to be there for his son....and that's what every real man should do, isn't it? As it is, John missed out on being there for Julian 10 years prior because of his hectic schedule with the Beatles...so he now wanted to make things right with his 2nd son. And yeah, he really loved his wife and seemed to not hold back at all with expressing that. Is that so wrong? I don't really see any AFCism in any of that.

Though I know nobody's perfect, I couldn't bring myself to agree with what my friend said about one of my all-time heroes.
 

"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.

If I was rich I wouldn't work either.
Well maybe I'd be a racecar driver, lol.

Using the term AFC for everything, including where it does not apply and when it is not understood, is the most AFC thing people do too much around here.

"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.

No.

Sometimes frustrated, very often a chump, but definitely not average.

That is correct.

However Pre-Yoko Ono, he fvcked many women who throw themselves at his feet. I believe many men fall into the abyss because the concept of love is construed by society's social conventions and its so haywired into our brain that we don't question to understand it but rather let it happen. Love has become a religion.

On a side note, is it just me who think Lennon is massively overrated?
I'm sure there are others ... but I certainly ain't among them.

I think he was a great musician and a good guy for loving a girl that obviously isn't attractive.

Then again, alot of feminine liberal hippy guys like Lennon or ever more recently Bill Clinton, don't tend to choose the most attractive women as mates!

Let's face it, in general super hotties like jocks not hippies. There can be a few exceptions.

Super hotties like hot, successful guys like Rush Limbaugh.
 

"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.

I'm tired of all these "so and so was AFC" threads.


Dude, worry about YOUR life. Keep from being an AFC. You can't do anything about anybody else. Besides, we don't know what he was like in his personal life.

As far as I know: AFC = Average Frustrated Chump. Your every day guy who gets walked all over. He's convinced women should be put on a pedestal and treated as princesses. They're never wrong in his eyes. Everything is his fault, and he feels that he should act to correct these things. He's convinced that being sweet, nice and caring are the ways to win women over, and then wonders why he gets stuck in the friend zone, while his crush since 3rd grade is getting pounded by guys who just don't give a sh*t.

John Lennon. TOTALLY AFC... :rolleyes:
