"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.

Women still look to men to solve problems

So this is not a b1tch or a rant against women. Just thought I'd warn you. :rolleyes:

One of the chicks I bang semi-regularly works in a place that suffered a full-day blackout recently, like the whole city. She related this story......

When the blackout happened, she and some female co-workers had to move a bunch of perishable produce to one of their houses on ice to keep it from going bad.

So she and two other girls she worked with all got this done, which involved some logistics of buying a huge amount of ice, getting some containers, packing the food, traveling with it, etc.

After they were done one of the girls exclaimed, "See, we didn't even need a man to help us. We did it all ourselves!"

Anyway, I thought it was really cute. Apparently many women still look to men to "direct" them during times of crisis and/or times when logistical stuff has to happen. I was a little amazed that women would be amazed that they could pull it off without a man these days, but apparently they were.

Thought I'd share. :D
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Men handle the big stuff while they micromanage little stuff like mismatching socks or arranging apple-picking outings.

Emulating the usual, shallow, shamelessly practical Zarky the original:

What does this have anything to do with getting into the pants of hot chicks?

Am I in the dairy section of our forum?

What's this garbage Zarky ?

Ok, Scara , sorry I am being too caustic.
Thanks for the advice, I will take it.
 

"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.

ah, but it does help, if you think about it. I think these insights are important. Broad-based rants that "all women X" and "women always Y" and "these days women are so Z" aren't very helpful... but knowing that when they're alone, many women are amazed by their capacity to do problem solving without a man present to me says volumes about my ability to convince them to bone me. :up:
