"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.

"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.

Dunno. What's a "fake man?"

I remember the "real man" list when it was a big fad to make lists. Actor James Garner was either at the top or near it. You know, from The Rockford Files. Supposed to be that "real men don't eat quiche," "real men don't use answering machines," and so on -- things that character Jim Rockford did.

Just goes to show, if you're a handsome movie and TV star, you can do whatever you like and be called a "real man."

Now I'll make a quick exit from this thread before Burroughs points out the jizz slurping that so many Hollywood "real men" did on the casting couch.

Ive read that even Audie Murphy had to be a punk

for Jimmy Cagney, to 'break into" Hollywood. Even the world's greatest warrior and a handsome young guy to boot, had to pay that price to get into that "game". Sheesh, what a crock. Just because guys work at a difficult dangerous job does not mean that they are smart, or decent, or not rapists or child molesters, you know.

A man is a man, that is it. There is no such thing as a real man, people just use the real man thing to pressure you to do things you don't want or don't care doing.
