I miss him so much, bros. Spaz and that metro sexual made this forum worthwhile for years

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.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
I think @BeExcellent might remember his name. Maybe Guru1000??? If its the same guy, he claimed to schedule 3 dates at the same place at the same time. Last I heard he was married now. I'm certain he had an alias and he had conversations with himself using another alias as well. enormous ego and highly narcissistic.I can't remember the other guy's name, but he was epic, too.
Unabashedly on steroids, lived in NYC, ninja always trolled him
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Agreed on posters growing and changing over the decades. I think SS is a pit stop for single dudes looking to find the one to settle down with.Lol. Yeah those guys were OG. Guru I have not talked to in a while but he had gotten interested in someone (this about 18 months or so ago give or take). I'll look him up sometime after the New Year.
Spaz was funny. Poon King was Poon King. BigNeil was a mess (but in an entertaining way)....
I miss @fastlife because he had a great perspective & plenty of moxy. Cool dude. Not banned but probably got on with life.
Alot happens around here over a decade. Guys grow & change, show up, hold court, move on.
I also miss @Atom Smasher but he is happily doing the married thing.
RichardtheFrog was more into hookers than GM32.RichardTheFrog..........lol, the dude who wanted to stretch his bones so he was taller. He also had some bionic p0rn star sized cahk.
And sometimes we come back…Agreed on posters growing and changing over the decades. I think SS is a pit stop for single dudes looking to find the one to settle down with.
Unless you’re one of the few that figured out the playboy path![]()
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
I recall David DeAngelo(and no doubt many others)mentioning back in the day: "Too many guys get with a chick, deceive themselves into believing that they've achieved their happily ever after, then cease doing what progressed them to begin with"And sometimes we come back…
He is one of my favorites and he is totally rightI recall David DeAngelo(and no doubt many others)mentioning back in the day: "Too many guys get with a chick, deceive themselves into believing that they've achieved their happily ever after, then cease doing what progressed them to begin with"
This remains just as true today
Don't sweat it, hoss... In a similar fashion, lots of guys become trapped in middle-management, after that first taste of slightly above minimum wage pay prompts them to think "I've made it!!!" Reality proves to be a merciless b-tch a few years later, when they recognize their salary isn't rising and they've got less and less influence within the corporation, even as some of their former colleagues have moved up the ladderIn my case i think i got bored with my life and my wife. Thats on me for not realizing if before i blew it up though

Nailed it. He was flamboyant for my taste, but he helped a lot of guys. Great poster
BigNeil was one my favorite blowhards! Always posting pics of girls he was with. Always taking them on nice trips, out to nice dinners.
He was always good for a laugh. Unabashedly got prostitutes, which was different, if nothing else.
RichardTheFrog..........lol, the dude who wanted to stretch his bones so he was taller. He also had some bionic p0rn star sized cahk.
Also unabashedly got prosties.
Poon_King???? always told the brutal truth about women. Jaded. Hard to take sometimes, pizzed off a ton of posters. Didn't sugarcoat anything. He was one of the greatest to ever be banned.
One of the best
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.
Another great@The Duke
Can’t forget @PlayHerMan as one of the greats to get banned
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
