"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.

Is it only me, or do poems suck?

I find no artistic merit to them. I mean, yeah, some even rhyme and whatnot, but... come on! I mean, it's like... "geesh! I have the afternoon off, I'm going to the library to read poems" :crazy:

Poems: :down:

I like walt whitman even though he was gay and wrote homeerotic poems... leaves of grass is so classic, and I was lucky to have a professor that was so into literature and poetry that it rubbed off on her students... I have a 2000 page literature book that I plan on finishing this year or sometime in my lifetime....

Poems do seem a bit cliché nowadays. Don't get me wrong, I love a creative mind but poems seem a bit corny nowadays.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

99.9% of the new stuff sucks but the classics are still great.

I dont like modern day "white" poetry, but spoken word is hot.

I think that alot of quality poetry should come from our generation...

Yeah, I was going to say that the classic stuff is still good. It helps you appreciate the lifestyle and the time period of the poet. Contemporary poetry lacks the artistry of the classics.

Lol, the title of this thread reminds me of a lame comedian. You know, they're like "What's the deal with airplane food?". Funny.

Anyway, poems are meh. Some are good, most are boring.

I agree, poems are just pretentious nonsense to me. Don't get me wrong I can appreciate good literature and prose but if you have something worth saying, why not come out and say it as clearly as possible? Surely if it's important, you want people to understand it, so why put it into some obscure riddle, make it rhyme and adhere to patterns and restrictions and all that crap?!

I feel the same about song lyrics too. I personally enjoy music for the sound that it makes and nothing more. If I want meaning and words, I'll read a book.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
