No this is not a troll.
Yes there is a right answer
and it isn't hard to guess either.

"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.
Why am I so awesome?

"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.

Really, that's a matter of perspective.

I'm very sure you came back from an amazing encounter with a chick and feeling on top of the world. We're here rooting for you, though it isn't necessary.

This. This is the right answer. I don't even need a reason to be awesome/great/amazing/whatever. I just am simply because I'm me. I'm awesome just cuz.noobolgy said:
And this right here, this is the way everyone should feel. The mentality we all should have. Confidence, happiness, success, luck, etc. --- all of those string off of how you feel. If someone else just so happens to be the greatest right along side of you, then you make yourself the double greatest. And be happy for your friend who is also the greatest too or you will spend time trying to subconsciously bring him/her down, which restricts your awesomeness abilities and your greatness.( . )( . ) said:
And this is partially why I am the way I am. The way I look at it, it's like this:Mike32ct said:
Do you like being happy? Then be happy. You don't need a reason for it. Just be it. Do you like being awesome? Then be awesome. Who cares what others think of you. They're just jealous of your awesomeness. People will try and bring you down on your way to becoming the greatest. Because they don't know how to or will not even simply try to become the greatest. I am the greatest (like Muhammad Ali always said). Not the best. But, I am the greatest because I am the best that I can be. That is the way to be the greatest. Not to just be good, or great at what you do (whatever it really is that you do), I mean you can even suck at whatever it is really. But if it is the best you can do/be, then you are the greatest.

Anyway, why start this thread in the first place you might ask since you all already know this?
Well, I've been feeling extra awesome lately and thought that maybe I could give some of it to you guys since you're all too awesome to not give more awesomeness too (if that makes any sense haha)

"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.

This thread reminds me of a bi-polar flat mate I once had. When he was up the whole world had to know about it and when he was down the whole world was down with him.
It is not for nothing that wise people advocate the middle path.

But then tell me, oh wise one, what must I do when I am always up? And am constantly on the rise as well. What then? Do I simply not advise others as to how to feel the same way I do?sylvester the cat said:
I feel that it is my duty that I should. Not tell everyone about how I feel, but tell them why I feel the way I do, so that they too can become like me.

A different flat-mate told me the secret to his 'success' (he was a part-time chef with a drinking problem). He said he thought of himself as Jose Mourinho did aka The Special One. I asked him what happened when he happened upon another person who also thought of himself as The Special One? He didn't give me an answer.ImTheDoubleGreatest! said:
That flat was not big enough for two Special Ones. He moved out first.

once you really accept yourself, then you will accept others for just who they are, even if they seem to you like they need what you have ie happiness. Example always trumps forcing advice, as people tend to reject it.
We dont try and change people. We acknowledge our similarities and rejoice in our differences and accept where each of us is at. People create their own happiness. Even When we tell them how to get there. There are a billion people in front of you and behind you on the happiness scale.
I'm really happy that you are happy.

"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.
