I think it's more than confidence. Can a guy have swagger wearing a button down shirt and nice shoes? Or does it require a baseball cap pulled to the side and jewelry?
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.
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.
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.
You're not serious right? Where the hell did you come up with that definition? You obviously have very little grasp on American culture. And you think Kanye is "every suburban American boy's hero"? He's a joke now, some people still like his music but nobody respects him as a person. American people are very into Lil Wayne, not so much Kanye.BigJimbo said:Swagger is an urban American slang term for men who like larger middle-aged woman (?) who wear trashy clothing (i.e. Kanye West). I don't have any and pray to God that it never gets close to me.
Every suburban American boy's hero and his...uh...

If you guys find that beast attractive I give up.

LOL. And some of us are into neither because we are adults. Swagger is just your personal confident style. Which is why you hear the word "my" usually preceding it. So on the morning when you feel like a million bucks and dress like your version of a million bucks and walk like your version of a million bucks, that's your swagger.Exhumed said:American people are very into Lil Wayne, not so much Kanye.
