"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.

You're bound to meet some chicks that turn out to be "winners".

Not every chick. But there are chicks you're going to meet that aren't worth your time.

The flakey weirdos, the chicks that talk our their azz or the chicks that simply flirt for the hell of it and want nothing more. Perhaps because things aren't in their full control with some other dude they have built a "perfect" fantasy in their mind about.

Some may have a few screws loose. Some are just toxic.

Look past their looks while looking at yourself internally. Do you really need some chick who's "off" in the head, plays kid games, etc? Do you need their validation ignoring red flags? If so then why. You can only blame yourself if you keep choosing to waste your life spending time on dead ends.
 

"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.

I think the idea that "this one is paying attention to me, I cant pass her up" (the idea of scarcity of females) pays a large role in the type of thinking you described.

I've had my share of chicks who play the role for attention or are just weirdos.

They get old quick no matter how they look.

One weirdo who always came up to me at an old job flirting. Asked her to go out sometime and she started whispering noooo. I told her she was a flake and left her alone. Saw her the next day, kept it moving and she says oh so you're not going to talk to me? I said nah keep it moving and left it alone.


another one I hadn't seen in years came up to me in another job I worked at that had dated an acquaintance years back. Typical oh you look great here's my number etc. called twice, got her voicemail and never heard from her again.

another chick I knew from a wedding I was at out of nowhere in front of her husband while we're talking says oh all the girls at our old job loved 9Volt. I'm thinking that's news to me.

point being who knows what's going on in some people's heads. Some are simply bizarre.

Agreed! Winners are numbered though. They are certainly few and far between. The main thing is sticking to your values.

I know I don't like women that do selfies/snapchat a lot because I believe it says a lot about how fvcking empty she is on the inside. If I find out she does, it is usually a next for me...

Usually means they need excessive outside attention. That can be a problem for you. Sometimes the women use the excessive outside attention for orbiters and likes a guy no one knows about to screw. It still can be a problem because if you piss her off she will allow one of the orbiters your space.
