"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.

white Knights - the disingenuous way of handling them

Was just thinking - every white knight is another guy taking himself out of the dating pool.

So the way to deal with them is to not care if the white knighting spreads. The more white knights = the fewer bangable men we have to compete with.
 

"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.

I can understand why that would annoy you. Because that sounds like a very butthurt statement "You need to treat women badly for them to like you". That was just your dad mischaracterizing your points, right? That wasn't really what you were telling him, was it?

it really seemed like an AMOG.
In World War I, trench warfare was in such close proximity that the soldiers could lob hand grenades from their trench into the enemy's...and sometimes the enemy would throw the grenade back. Some grenades were thrown as many as three times before they exploded.

An AMOG is like a hand grenade. If you throw it right back very quickly, it becomes your AMOG.

Losing your cool is what gets you amog'd, not anything that is said to you. It's always easy to think of comebacks with hindsight, but something like "No, Dad, only the hot ones" would have served the amog right back to him. Plus, then you can be nice to the girls who heard you say that, and the joke is on them :D

Think before you adopt generic shaming language. That was his superficial understanding of it, my mom obviously understood differently.
Whoa, brother, I'm not trying to shame you. I didn't think that was how you meant it, I was just looking for clarification.

I guess you're talking about the word "butthurt". Sorry, but if I heard someone say "You need to treat women badly for them to like you", that comes across as "butthurt". That word describes it to a T.

Listen to Bible Belt, although it seems, you have already decided to dimiss his statement.

Why would you let this bother you? Why not use it as a conversation piece? Your Dad just opened these women. Who cares what he says. You can deflect or "explain" what he's referring to if it bothers you

"I've noticed some women tend to go after the bad boys? What's your take on that ladies?"

Or just dismiss it and change the subject. Who Cares.

Or just laugh at what your Dad said. It will show that you have know fvcks given. Who Cares.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

Red pill is best compared to a gun. A gun in and of itself is not a bad thing, you can use it for defense or to hunt. Then there's the people that use guns for bad things.

Guns are not bad, people are bad.

RP is not bad, people are bad.

How did I dismiss it? Any logic other than trolling and trying to pick fights? I don't feel the need to respond to obviously good advice and waste my daily post allotment.
Okay...

On my previous post: I agree that what your Dad said wasn't very tactful, reminds me of my mother actually. However, you really can't let what other people say bother you, no matter who it is. That was one of my main issues when I was on the blue pill side. Friends, random strangers, FAMILY, other people interfering, and ruining what was meant to be a perfect situation. It's living in a glass house. Your dad gave you a $hit test of sorts in front of these women, how you handle it will tell them what kind of man you are. If you want to look at it that way.

On that note: I'd be lying if I said I never let what other people say about me bother me. However, I'm 5 x better than what I once was, and still getting better.

Non red pillers have no business hearing anything that goes on in this forum. It utterly does you a great disservice.
