"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 f any of you have watched mtv's fresh meat or the gaunlet and have read the any robert greene book you will notice some similarities same with big brother and donald trumps show.what have your learned from watching your fav shows?:wave:
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
I prefer to pay attention to my OWN reality.

You know when you watch that crap, half of the things they do stem from the fact that they ARE on-camera, right?

You think those guido-punks on Jersey Shore would get laid all the time if they didn't have a guy in an MTV-cap following them around with a TV camera? :p

^what you mean???

I thought you can learn stuff by watching tv. I mean sure, programming is for idiots with IQ 70 and bellow, but if you watch two programs that's 70 + 70, so you become smart.

My favorite television reality show—a decade ago—was Blind Date. Even though the dates were exaggerated by the presence of a camera, and date locations were decided by the producers, there was one solid thing which I did learn. You could predict (with 99% accuracy) how the date would end by looking at the body language reactions in the first three seconds of the date. If a girl is attracted to you, almost nothing can do you wrong. If a girl isn't, nothing can save you. The only time the predictions were wrong was if the date turned out to be a complete blowout because the guy had horrible or non-existent game.

The day I think I "learned" something from Reality TV is the day I stop myself from watching it. I watch very little of it, but look at it as nothing more than thoughtless comedy (Jersey Shore). There is nothing that anybody on those shows can teach me that will better any aspect of my life.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
