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.

Come on guys, stop with the flaming of each other and bickering. This is an INTERNET FORUM. Why try and "one up" each other? It'll only get deleted anyway. Also, don't whine if a moderator closes/moves/deletes a thread. There is always a reason for it. Also, unless a post is ATLEAST 3 weeks old, refrain from bumping it unless you are adding something useful to the convo. A post that is 10 minutes old doesn't need to get "bumped."
 

"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 is rather hard not to get caught in a flame war around here nowadays. About the only way to avoid it is to stop posting altogether.

It's funny, when I first came here this place was mostly about helping yourself as well as others. Now it is more about p!ssing contests than anything else. Perhaps I never should have started posting here in the first place. It seems that I have helped hardly anyone at all in my time here with the exception of myself.

But thats something atleast.

"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.

It ALWAYS turns into a flame war. I remember that 20 page PICTURE thread where this guy wondered why people think he looks gay...or that he looks like a fag...HOLY SH*T..i remember his name was ELF..hahaha..

you all remember that thread..and you gotta admit that sh*t was hilarious!!! with the sleeveless shirt and arm wrapped aound another guy..haha..classic!

but yea...picture threads are the devil!!! if peeps wanna see what everyone else looks like, i suggest PM them.

Maybe not stopping them, put putting them in one thread (and ONE forum) would help. That, plus maybe stop the "rate my pic" and make it so you can only POST your pic and not get commented on it unless you ask, but not "oh my god, you look so gay!"

I almost spit out my protein shake when I read that... that's hilarious. I can see how it would easily get out of hand...

The one 'picture thread' idea is a sound one. Perhaps entitled "Post a picture of yourself here!"...
