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.
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.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
So a single woman who hit the gym with good results is enough to establish a rule or break an other one?Ninja Dude said:Man some of you guys are truly cynical. YOu may want to reconsider this attitude - it is not attractive! (unless accompanied by sharp wit/humor as opposed to bitterness)
Proof that some women do improve with age: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eae3_LDysY8&feature=youtu.be
I agree. All of those women were hotter when they were younger.mrRuckus said:Um, yea, not on a single one. And it's basically demonstrated by all those women having all but vanished from movies, tv, etc.
Right, races with darker skin age better. I think I've read that it's because they have a higher oil content in their skin, keeps them moisturized.ilikecharlene said:in my experience, it depends on race. women with darker skin i find look more youthful than fair skinned women.

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
It's the faces, dude. By 26 or so their faces are FAR worse already than a 20 year old regardless of working out. A man actually looks better as it starts to look a bit weathered as he becomes a man. It declines eventually but before it does, it improves.020204 said:It is true that we males provided we look after ourselves probably stay verile for longer however what isn't factored in is that very few women actually workout with weights to a significant degree.
I get more compliments in my 50s than I ever got in my 20s.020204 said:I agree that we men get better, at 41 I don't have any greys and my physique is pretty tight, have notised guys who do deliberately die their hair grey often look really great and provided they aren't obese don't really loose their appeal with women. I can still think of some very hot women, in this age bracket although I will have to admit they are in the minority.
I remember a lot of girls in high school who were considered not very attractive. Then a few years later wow! Their curves came in, they learned how to fix their hair, started wearing short shorts, and all of a sudden they were smoking hotties.020204 said:I would probably say nerdy girls do get better with age, I think they are a pretty good example. The reality is that not everyone has run their race in their early 20s.
