"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 think it's to kick as much ass and have as much fun as possible. When you think about things, realize our lives, in the grand scheme of things, are meaningless. The universe has existed for billions of years, a life spanning 80-90 years is nothing but a spark.

We will all die, we're all equal when we do, so at this point it's all about the story from birth to death.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

I was in one of those states the other day where I was just inside my head thinking.

I looked around the campus and I noticed the trees. I thought, what's the tree's meaning of life. What's the trees meaning of life? ...To Live.

The meaning of life is to live.


That means whatever you want it to mean.

If someone asks me that question, I say it's:

- To have as much fun as possible. (why people sky-dive, play sports, read books, or watch television shows/motion pictures).

- To be as happy as possible (why people follow "dreams" and achieve goals).

- (In my opinion) To be the best man I can be. (why honesty, integrity, and "doing the right thing" is important).

By the way, I didn't read all of the replies, so I apologize if I repeated something someone else already posted. This is my personal opinion.

The meaning of life is not the answer to the question "Why?" - Why survive? Why desire? Why fight? Why succeed? - but rather the answer to the second question: "So?" - that apathetic, even contemptuous dismissal used by those who have died inside.

It's all about making the horse you've led to water drink.

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

" The Purpose of life is for it to end.... " :crazy:

Sorry guys, I HAD to do that! Anyways, I see life as a journey that we all undertake, we make our own way through it and are free to make our own decisions as we go along.

Consider life as one big RPG ( yes, i'm using a video game reference ) if get up, work to make money, collect various things, have your fights, have your victouies, have your loses but we all still have the same ending; Death, whetever it be peaceful or violent.

On another note, I DO believe in life after death, I always have. I reckon there is actually FAR too much evidence ( ie ghosts, NDEs, etc ) to suggest otherwise but thats my own views.

My life philsophy can be summed up by my sig.

Well of course it varies from people to people, but the bottom line is we'll never know which is right or wrong until you die and once you do it won't matter since it'll be the past.

I believe that the point of life is "living a life worth living without any regrets." to me this means accomplishing my goals, being happy or accomplish something great so when I die I can be proud of myself and others will remember me.

To reproduce. That is what every other life form is doing.
