"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.

My friend wants me to get him a workout plan. I got him on Rippetoes but he thinks just because there is only 4-5 exercises that it wont get him results, he tried it for 3 days and quit, then went on his own and started over training himself, doing 6 separate exercises only for his chest.

He is 170lbs
6 feet tall and about 15-20% body fat.

He wants defined abs, a cut body and muscular at the same time. I told him he needs to lower his body fat.

What do you suggest for him?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Tell him to read the Vault.

And tell him that working out is a commitment. Not something you can do in couple of months and expect permanent results.

Hes not on this site, i was thinking of getting him on Stronglifts 5x5 but hes gonna be a little b1tch about it, he NEVER wants to raise the weights. He keeps arguing with me, telling me sh1t like "you can work your abs everyday, it says so in the mens health magazine" "it takes 2 weeks to see results" hes ignorant.

Tell him it will take years of toil to get a great physique. That should encourage him. ;)

"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.

Then screw him, when he sees how great you look, he'll be begging you for a plan.

A psychiatrist.
