Dust 2 Dust
Master Don Juan
My 2 cents on asking women for dating advice. Yes, some women do give helpful advice, but it's like the mine shaft analogy. It's not worth digging through the 98% of coal to get the 2% of nuggets.
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.
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.
I’ve never understood what that meant.lol “be yourself” but also “you need to improve”."Just be yourself".
I've lost count of the number of people who've given me this **** advice...
↓I’ve never understood what that meant.lol “be yourself” but also “you need to improve”.
I've had female friends give friends of mine garbage advice that they knew was crap and when I asked them why they did it it was basically because they don't believe that men can self-improve or change. It's like a eugenics thing honestly.
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.
It means, "I can't be bothered giving you actual advice, so I'm just going to say something to make you feel better temporarily so I get to feel like I'm actually helping when I'm not really."I’ve never understood what that meant.lol “be yourself” but also “you need to improve”.
