"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.

I've been researching some Good websites that deals with Men's issues and Self Improvement. The Red Pill Archives is one of them. I recently looked into Askmen.com and I thought if a dude who had some Basic knowledge of this website and applied that context within the advise that is given in Askmen.com, well that might be helpful. What do you guys think? Do you guys find that website to be useful?

"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.

Inside her mind
Was one of the first sites I user to go on but it's to PCish kind of like Reddit

Reddit will ban you really quick if they deem you to critical of women, problem with reddit and askmen is that people fall into the "Validation loop" where they will lie and b.s. for likes and popularity instead of telling the truth, Reddit hasn't been the same since 2015

Lol, reddit got rid of it's mgtows content section because it was hateful and critical of women supposedly. So yeah third wave feminism is pulling the strings on these sites. What do you think of Askmen.com's fashion and style content? Do you think those advise are good?

Used to be cool, then it went Woke
I remember reading some article off of it in the early 2000s when I first got into seduction content. I remember reading Doc Love and someone called "The Player" in that era. I was also reading some David DeAngelo in those days. I wish I had heard of Mystery during my college years (2001-2005). Mystery started to teach Neil Strauss while I was in college.

I stopped visiting that site long ago but did hear that it went woke.
 

"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.

The media landscape of the past decade is similar, in one sense, to the one that existed in The 1980s... During the latter no mainstream/mainstream-esque venue was going to question the Morning In America ethos that was then in fashion too stridently, whereas during the former, dissent with Intersectionality was pretty much confined to Anti-SJW segments of social media. Sadly, they've got their own party lines and sacred cows

I do think men will benefit from taking advice on style because inherently we are NoT as stylish, especially when it's about game .

But the problem as usual us that " this ain't it bro ". Sites like this oftentimes tend to push men into some kinda ghey-ish dress code, making you look like someone you are NOT.

There are literally thousands of styles to pick from but IMO the best styles will always beat the hands of time. Timeless styles are the way to go. We will soon see a resurgence of 80s and earlier type of styles because at very least men were dressing like men( ofcourse there are exceptions)

I’m skeptical of fashionable advice because half of it focuses on appearance, which is your body and grooming, and it can be achieved through discipline in the gym and basic hygiene. The other half is about social awareness, which involves reading situations, understanding people, and adjusting your behaviour. Teaching social awareness equips you to be successful in any setting, while fashionable advice often just masks a lack of depth.

As for websites like AskMen.com, they strike me like an outdated, bootlegged version of GQ.
