"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.

Hi guys

I'm new to this site, so please forgive me if I am posting this in the wrong place.

My problem is that I am an incredibly ugly male. I am so aware of this that it affects my confidence in everything I do and especially around people.

So, I need some BRUTAL honesty here. Please give me your opinions on my looks.

Thank you.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

You look like an average guy that may be overweight
 

"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.

Dude you're better looking than me. I'm short even and still can get ladies to approach me. It's your attitude.

Did your mother show little affection towards you and hard to please when you were a child?

No, this is not a joke.

I had to go through half of my human life reversing the conditioning placed on by my mother that resulted in low-self esteem and highly sensitive to criticism and over reacting.

You need to clear your head of conditionings from other people who you never felt good enough and never pleased with what you did or never gave you praise.

Start from there and you will find a new inner self.

Good luck.

Women care much more about money and status than looks. So dress like you're worth a million dollars, and at the same time lose some weight.

So why does it always feel like I am repulsing people. At this stage, I weigh 83kg and go to gym about 4 times per week. No matter how my day goes, as soon as I see myself in the mirror, it just totally depresses me because I can not do anything about my looks.
 

"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.

Money/status/confidence>looks as someone said. If you are ugly, work your butt off in life and try to get the best education possible. When you start earning money you can get all the girls you ever wanted. A 50 y o guy with $ can easily game hot 20 year olds.

You can get any girl you want if you cruise around in a BMW i8, 5,000$ clothes and working as a doctor in a private clinic.

Body Dysmorphic Disorder. That or just massive insecurity. OP, you appear to be an average looking guy to me.

Women are buillt to be pretty, men aren't. Men are designed to be functional. Men are made to be builders, protectors, providers, hunters, pursuers. Early on in the "PUA revolution", it was maintained that looks didn't even matter because it was a man's personality, strength, power, and status that made him a man, and made him attractive to women.

Lately there has been a backlash against that thinking, and now some guys are saying looks matter more than anything. Personally, I think looks are a factor (you have to be good genetic breeding stock). But a man's looks could never be as important as a woman's looks are, because there are just too many other variables that can make a man attractive.

Point is, a man doesn't have to be exceptionally good looking to be attractive to women, as long as he can bring something else to the table. Like force of personality, charisma, etc. A lot of guys come here to work on building these things.

Looks is a huge factor, in any environment. I can remember a documentary I once saw how things are just easier for better looking people. And this is the reality of it and my frustration as I can not change any of this. I actually feel sorry for people that need to look at me. As for the Body Dysmorphic Disorder, I have been told that in the past, but I am afraid the mirror does not lie. Reality is reality.

Don't make me start thinking you're a troll, we've had plenty of them here lately.

Look, I'm going to be honest with you. A lot of guys come here and post pictures of themselves and ask for feedback. I'd say 80-90% of the time I look at the picture and think "Yikes, no wonder he has trouble with women". But you just look like an average guy to me, there's no reason for you to think your looks repel anyone. But if you want to wallow in self pity when there's no reason to, hey, it's your life.

Thanks for the honesty! It's not about self pitty, it's this constant stuck record in my head that makes me feel this way and life experiences.

Gym is good, but how is your diet? 75% of your physique is in what you eat.

I'm starting to understand why they call you PedoBear.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.
