So... am I the only one who wants to hug SB? She's so cute.
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 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.

Be nice, Eternal.
Oh. A cyber-hug threesome.Originally posted by seabreeze

Cyber-hug, Sexy & FOF.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Hehe. She is my girlfriend.Originally posted by Sexy_Malibu
OK. I don't want to get on Eternal's bad side...
Both because I think he's a good mod and because I'm kinda scared of him.
But... while I don't think that Fist Of Fury and Eternal are the SAME PERSON (sorry Wyld)... they ARE both mods on Eternal's site... no?
(Not that that matters anyway... I mean so they're friends, big whoop... he can defend his friend if he wants to).
But same person? Probably not.

The policy of no comments in photo threads being changed and the end of the locking and deleting of threads for such stupid reasons. A similar thread being buried on page 6 is no reason to delete or lock a new thread. Page 6 doesn't even show up for most people. And Anything Else should be a lot more lax anyway because it's where off topic conversations go. The current tone of the forum is implying that friendly chat on the forum is unwelcome and that you should only use PMs for that. I firmly believe that is an ignorant position to take because it's that casual chat that gives a sense of community and comraderie. Without that, this is not a "community of users" it's just an information dump. If you take away the human factor of a community and forum it ceases to thrive, stagnates and essentially sucks.Originally posted by seabreeze
What would be the ideal for you in this situation, Wyldfire? It's not like people don't care about how you feel, right? What would make you happy?
SB
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Listen Eternal...if anyone engages me when I'm pi$$ed off and starts tossing out barbs, they can depend on getting a few thrown back at them. If they don't wish to have darts sticking out of their arse, then they should be the one to back off, capiche?Originally posted by Eternal
Wyld, back off. If you want to bash me, that's fine. I can take it like the man you wish you had. But leave everyone else out of it.
This is why the replies get deleted in the picture thread. Someone starts something and it escalates quickly.Originally posted by Wyldfire

Hehe. That makes a few people who can't sleep for some reason.
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.
Probably the fact she's in Tennessee and I'm in Alabama. Little too far to stretch. Though in a week and few days, we'll both be back home...Originally posted by Sexy_Malibu

Why are you and your girlfriend both wasting your time in this thread when you could be having hot sex or something?(I mean... if you guys can't sleep).
I'd be doing that instead of reading So-****ing-suave right now if I had a babysitter.![]()

Did I address this thread to "Fist of Fury"? No, I didn't. Does "Fist of Fury" have anything whatsoever to do with the topic being discussed here? No, they don't. Did I post first to them? No, I didn't. They came on here showing their a$$ to me and I gave it a swift kick. Perhaps in the future they will think twice about jumping into something that isn't their business and acting like a bad a$$.Originally posted by Eternal
