Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

I hope this isn't taken in the wrong way by the site administrators or the moderators, but why haven't this site been upgrade. One others boards I frequent, you can put up avatars, post videos or pictures directly to the site, and you click an option on whether or you agree or disagree with a post. Whether or not the post made you laugh, you though post was the "greatest of all time, or you though the post was straight up wack. I feel that adding this few things, especially the ability to upload pictures and videos to the site would improve the site and make it more interactive. Or are these upgrades cost prohibitive.

Also, considering that most of the members of this site is adult males, why is profanity censored?
 

"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.

I've always wondered this. What's the point in making us type fvck and $hit and A$$ and B!tch?

Upgrades would be cool. I'm not on any other sites but I like the simplicity of this one, not too much other $hit going on. It's why craigslist is so successful, easy, simple, not 1000 ads everywhere distracting you.

If it aint broke, dont fix it!

Honestly the simplicity of this forum works and keeps it clutter-free. Avatars can get ridiculous, same with photos and videos. It would be 10x the moderating work. SoSuave is about content, not web garbage.

I would actually support a lifting of the profanity ban. We use it anyway.

Keep the profanity ban, I like to see variations of secks.

If you need to ban something, it has to be colored fonts.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Leave everything as it is except lift the profanity ban and the 10 post ban, and it would be perfect.:yes:

Sosuave is built to harvest email addresses to sell to dating gurus peddling their wares. Once your email is in the system, you're not worth that much any more. That's why we have a bare-bones vbulletin forum without bandwidth sucking features like embedded images and videos. I have always said that the ten-post limitation is a related issue. The people who have long discussions with each other are not the ones paying the bills. These are business decisions; I understand.

The 10 post ban has it's reasons, I would have to agree with them. I feel it would better if they changed it from a post limit to a thread limit. That way if someone's fully involved in a discussion on a particular thread, they wouldn't have to worry about being cut off.

While we're at it, why not some kind of flagging system to alert the MODs of trolls, it doesn't seem to be too out of hand but they're still out there....
 

"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.

I'm with everyone else who says don't change it, but uncensor profanity.

I like the simplicity here, and think that focusing more on the text itself is more conducive to discussion.

Actually, it would be nice to embed pics and vids directly in posts.

But yeah, agree/disagree buttons kinda sound lame, like facebook almost

I think it's time for a new background. This blue should be replaced with a darker color.

Agreed, it is refreshing to see a no-pictures forum. I just looked at bodybuilding.com, and you see a lot of guys posting ridiculous gifs instead of talking. I don't want to see the pictures people would put up here.

But yes, uncensor. People write these words anyway. If there was a ban on circumventing the filter it would make more sense, but now it doesn't. Might as well remove the filter and not make it look like we are ashamed of using certain words.

Besides, it is annoying to see people post "**** that *****, she's such a ****!"

On the other hand, if a guy won't even take the time to circumvent the filter, that is a good way to gauge his general mental level.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

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.

As for the banning of profanity, it is a little overboard. I can see not wanting dialogue to turn into cussing matches. But you can't even type Charles D!ckens' name on here. (I'm serious.)

Not to be a d!ck and beat on a dead horse, but y'all REALLY need to do something about the profanity filter. Seriously, in post I just made, I quoted Rosebudd (one of the pimps interviewed in American Pimp) Anyway, he wrote his autobiography which he penned under his birth name. In order to properly cite the quote and just in case somebody might want to purchase the book, I included Rosebudd's given name which is John ****son. Just as what has happened here Rosebudd's entire surname was censored out, so I had to go back and place an asterisk in place of the "i,".

I understand the rationale of not wanting discussions to degenerate into low brow profanity laden shouting matches, but at the end of the day, this mainly frequented by adult males who are in pursuit of trying to score chicks. Plus the filter is a little ridiculous when guys are circumventing it anyway. Not being able to type a person's name or w*manese is doing a little too much.
