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.
How do you feel about women who are not looking for marriage but are content with an exclusive relationship in perpetuity, in which they financially contribute, relative to their share of income and wealth?
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.
She addresses you this way as a tongue in cheek reference to you being the soveriegn leader of your domain. It is playful and respectful I imagine rather than sarcastic and disrespectful, only you know the tone.
It depends on the specifics of the relationship.

If she leaves when the money disappears, that means she was a prostitute all along.
I would say I'm a "performer" based on your definition in post #13, and @AmsterdamAssassin would fit that role too.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Iron Rule of Tomassi #4
NEVER under any circumstance live with a woman you aren’t married to or are not planning to marry in within 6 months.
Shacking Up
Iron Rule of Tomassi #4 NEVER under any circumstance live with a woman you aren’t married to or are not planning to marry in within 6 months. You are utterly powerless in this situation. NEVE…
I haven't lived with girlfriends because I believe in Iron Rule of Tomassi #4.
My house is a sub-5. Chicks probably don’t want to move in.I haven't lived with girlfriends because I have always gotten dumped early on.
How quickly were you dumped? Getting dumped early on before a relationship could reach a point where moving in would be a discussion is one way to avoid living with a woman. It's not the best way to avoid that situation. Your description is a situation where a man seems like to get dropped before he can even have sex in an interaction.I haven't lived with girlfriends because I have always gotten dumped early on.
By this description, it would seem like you would have a much bigger problem than women moving in.
Spot on with both.
I am Norwood 1-1.5 at my early 40s age. This is something I'm watching closely. I don't need surgery yet for my hair. No bad bald spots yet.
A paid off house is good.
Yes, that can happen and it does happen.
I don't have any female friends right now. Female friends are less judgmental than potential female dating/sexual options.
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.
What does this mean?
I think you play the role of Prod Jhonny with the amount of questions that you ask.
Where did you come up with these categories?
Just my observation
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.
Lots of fun and interesting words begin with the letter P.
Sometimes I was able to sample the Golden Vajaya before getting dumped. Sometimes, the Golden Vajaya closed up shop, in which case I would bail out.
The 4 P's to be able to accomplish the 2 P's penile penetration.
You did the correct thing in bailing on interactions when sex wasn't going to be a part of the arrangement.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
