"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

A thread was recently locked because it wasn't girl related.
Meanwhile, we have a forum for "Anything Else" ("Sports, the weather, What's Happening In The News... or Anything Else. Talk about it here.")

... and discussing in the "Anything Else" forum ... "What's happening in the news" or "Anything Else" is getting locked because it's not "girl related."

Perhaps I'm a little slow today, because the justification for closing a non girl-related posting in the "anything else" section seems confusing to me.

Although "bickering" may not seem too appealing or nice, it's human nature. I'm just not the "sitting around the campfire singing kumbaya" type of man. Are most men?

A mod (whom I respect) stated that they'd rather the members just put those they don't like on "ignore" ... rather than ban certain members for following others around whom they don't like. I can respect that.

Since following members around for negative intent is frowned upon (and ban worthy) , I'm wondering if a blind eye is given to mods that exhibit such behavior?

"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.

I simply stated what the primary focus is of the forum. If you want to share interesting books you've read, songs you like, or how much you like fishing, sure that belongs in "Anything Else". None of that really belongs on sosuave and doesn't hold any relevance to the main purpose of the forum, but we need a place to put stuff like that. But the name of the site isn't "anythingelse.com". If it were, we'd be letting in all of the bots and spam that currently gets deleted.

Fair enough (as I've previously stated, this isn't my forum and I do not pay to participate).

When there's time, I'd like to respectfully suggest that perhaps the "Anything Else" descriptive be revised from " "Sports, the weather, What's Happening In The News... or Anything Else. Talk about it here." to something more aligned to the your suiting.

Thanks for the response.
