"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.

Canada, eh?
I had these two women call me "frío" in Spanish in
the last few weeks. They are both latinas, and "frío" really translates to cold or aloof. What's up with that? How do I respond to this? I am really not all that interested in these two, but one (my former plate) seems to dig it.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

What is the context of the conversation? That matters.

I think that when they directly call you "cold", you're too far in that direction. Better that they speculate because they see both coldness and warmness in you. This is what keeps them intrigued.

I've been called a hard ass before. It came out of frustration when a girl was pursuing me and not getting what she wanted from me fast enough.

Being a bit cold and distant is good, it gives them the chance to chase a little, which is something they love, but, like Gambino said: "You should find a balance", as it is possible to lose a girl for being too distant.

Women are used to having desperate men so far up her ass they can taste her lunch.

A man with self-esteem catches them off guard lol.

First post from a long-time lurker)

Found an interesting blog from a self-confessed aloof guy. Hasn't been updated much recently, but there are plenty of great comments from a few years back. Guy writes really well and touches on a lot of topics that get recycled on this forum.
