"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

holy fvcking ****...

...i just had to post this because you guys are the only ones who would understand how much bull**** this is.

i saw an ad for this show on yahoo and decided to check it out. it's so fvcking sick i don't think i can ever watch another episode.

these geeks get matched up with these low-iq hotties and the guys have to learn more about chicks while the girls have to learn smarts.

these guys are so fvcking afc it's sick! i mean it's terrible, one has never had a date and he's 25, another is still a virgin at 30 something, another has never touched a girl!!! they need to be turned into men, but the show is transforming them from afcs into prissy afcs.

and the stuff they learn is like female fashion? all pop culture trends and bull****. the girls are really stupid too...one was asked "what state is east of west virginia?" and she answered "massachusetts?" wtf?? how are they even american?
this is worse than jay leno's jaywalking bit.

it's engrossing, seriously.

i rarely watch much tv, but this caught my eye because i would have probably fallen for all of it back before finding this site...and at the same time, it's nice to see how far some of us have come to stand apart from the norm for guys.
 

"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 saw an add for it, and it looked kind of amusing actually. :D

This is probably as close to a hot girl these guys might ever get.

Didnt MTV do something like this where there was a pimp telling an AFC what to tell the HB's?
 

"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.

It'd be hell funny if someone pretended to be a geek to get into the show, then suddenly became a smooth, suave "DJ" on live television.

That'd throw a damper on the television executives.

of course they are AFCs. The whole point of the show is for geeks to meet up with Hbs. Could be that some are actors. If you are anti social, has no self esteem and confidence would u go on national TV to make a fool out of yourself?

From the link

"During these competitions, the geek must try to pass his brains onto the beauty, while the beauty tries to pull the game out of the geek."

This isnt really an sort of dating game idea. Just teaming nerds with babes to see how stupid the chicks sound and how stupid the AFCs look.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

Damn, they're running out of ideas. This is almost as bad as that show with the midgets on FOX.

i gotta admit some of it is a tiny bit amusing because it is the guys' fault. but, it also makes you sick to see the way society and media are sometimes...it's just a little wrong.

yeah, actually, one of the guys i think is not a geek, and he was cuddling with one of the girls on the first episode/night. then there's one guy who is such a geek that he has to be an actor or maybe paid extra.

I enjoy this show.

A geek got with a hottie yesterday, because he was dark and mysterious.

It's designed as a social experiment. It's good when the guys are like "What do you look for in a guy?" and they answer "Spontaneous and Trustworthy"

These guys are gonna learn confidence from the hot women. How is that a bad deal?

This show is what a lot of people need. Half of you guys on this board are all schmuck AFC's either making up stories or waking up every day saying you're gonna grab your balls and talk to that hot girl.... but you put it off till the next day. Imagine being thrown right into the thick of things. It's gonna help these nerds grow as people immensly.

They all lie, ie. they call it "act".
Hav eyou seen some informerical where lie 10 people say things cool the advertised product is?
Has it occured to you that ALL of them have been paid to say those things? i.e. they ALL just simple lie...

Same thing with that show - they all lie, about their backgrund and skills...the goal is just to show something ridiculuous that draw attention. You have been drawn? They got. They reached the goal.
So well... it is not that ridiculous show... it reaches the goals.

I reckon they're actors. Seriously, as someone said, why would a bunch of insecure nerd AFCs go on national television?

Just like on Jerry Springer, why does everyone have a southern accent?

To have the possibility of winning 250 grand...To have an opportunity to hang out with hot women for once in their lives...To make some ill-advised attempt to turn their lives around...Because half the people who go on reality shows nowadays become pseudo-celebrities...I don't think there's any lack of possible motives here.
