"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.

WTF? Did I sprain my jaw?

Last Wednesday at the gym, in the middle of a tough set of chinups involving lots of extra muscle tension to finish the last reps, I experienced what felt like a knife stabbing into my upper left jaw, between my ear and where my upper-left wisdom tooth would have grown in. This has happened before while lifting weights or while screaming along to music in my car, but to a lesser extent, and now, it slightly came back while I was yawning. What the heck is this?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

From anatomy i can tell you the place you described is where your zygomatic bone connects with your mandibular fossa on your mandible (jaw).

I'm guessing you over extended your mandible and it didn't go straight back into the fossa like was supposed to and grinded or pushed against something causing the knife like pain.

I'm no md though, i would have it checked out if it continues to cause your trouble.

EFFORT: Thanks. It's gone now, hopefully never to return.
geez he is not a troll, he wasnt saying what you said was made up, he was saying the stuff the other guy said sounded so real and scientific that there is no way he could just be making it up as he goes.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Yeah, that happened to me last week when I was trying to haul back a triple-decker turkey sub.

Rest it, don't talk a whole hell of a lot for a couple days if it ever happens again.

I get that problem very often, had it about 4 times in 2005 year so far

I get it everytime someone gives me an uppercut/someone shoulders me from below/a basketball hits me in the face (somehow)/someone elbows me from below/i fall on a table or chair chin first

errm yeah but anyways that thing never last for more than 6 hours for me, personally I ice the jaw from the skin area where it hurts and it goes away near immediately

im not sure what happened...but this has happened to me once. One time i was just opening my mouth and flexing my jaws, then i heard a crack/snap noise come from it. before i knew it, my left jaw was in pain anytime i widened my jaw.

but after a few days, the pain slowly disappeared and my jaw now is fine.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
