"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

Can we get rid of this profanity filter?

The profanity filter on this site makes alot of posts unreadable. Besides, some threads on this form go into detail about having sex, etc, and whoever can read about that can see a curse word. People just find ways around the filter to get out what they are trying to say anyway. If you absolutely must, maybe just turn it on for the highschool forum? It would really make communication much easier on this forum.

Edit: I've read past threads about this, and people have general said that the admin(s) do not want profanity on this board. Well, obviously this method is not working. Perhaps we can try something else.

Thoughts?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

like that last thread about this (which was like 3 days ago)... skilla-staz said it best: you can get your point across without curse words... or something like that.

i'll decode it for you

"pvssy" = vagina
"d1ck" = penis
"fvck" = have sex with
"cvm" = to ejaculate

pretty much when you're about to use the censored word on the left... come back to this post and copy the word on the right and paste it in replacement.

This forum isn't all about getting laid.

Plus, you can get your point across without swearing.

Facebook and them aren't forums. They're like MySpace...

To add to my previous comment...

The internet has caused many people to change the way they type by using shorthand, by spelling things all funky. Soon enough you'll learn to type sh*t by putting an asterisk in place of an important vowel. Either that or you'll learn to remain civil when discussing a topic.


PS. Refraining from swearing every other word not only makes you look somewhat intelligent, it also makes swearing more effective. Think of somebod you know who NEVER cusses. Now, if they got in your face and said "I'm going to f*cking kill you." Would that be more intimidating than it coming from your friend who says f*ck every 15 seconds?

Can we say ass? I hate typing out arse because I'm anal about spelling things correctly.
 

"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.

If people can get around the filter then what is the purpose of the filter.
All it seems to achieve is lowering the English quality of the forum and scaring newbies

It's not the cuss words that bother me.

It's other words. Take for instance:

******d

why the heck does the site star out "ovtwar"????

personally, I think it is better to just stay civil. Swearing is only funny in person, but on an internet site it just looks silly.

P.S. this has been debated a thousand times before and Allen won't do it for some reason or other.
 

"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.

I agree. But, I can also see why some people say that it is better to not use profanity, but even they must admit that the current system isnt stopping anyone from doing so. Get rid of the filter

I say make it a trade off. Replace the filter with a mandatory spell checker which not only checks spelling but also blocks text message type abbreviations from posts and I'll be all for it. :up:

Profanity filters are for websites which cater to under 14's, I don't quite see the point with this website.

Allen must be trying to make it family friendly. Lol
 

"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.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.
