"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.

I had an interesting post about reading the Holy Bible. It was only informational. It was only there for folks who were interested in finding an easier Bible to read. It wasn't even controversial.

It would be nice to at least be warned or told why your post was deleted.

So, was there a reason at all?


This is the "Anything Else" forum.

That means ANYTHING else.
 

"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.

The post wasn't in any way trying to do any soul winning or anything like that. I'm not even a devout Christian. I have taken some interest in the Bible, but I find it hard to understand until I read "The Message". That's all it was.

No controversy.

Oh well.

One of the rules of the site is that there is no religious or political talk.
Point me to those rules. I'd like to read them.

It was in the rules that you clicked that you agreed to abide to when you signed up for the site.

(ps I just double checked and only the political reference is in there but its been a widely known rule that religion is not an acceptable topic for the exact same reason)

Hey join the deleted posts club! I wasn't even remotely-controversial when the kings of the DJ food-chain decided to swoop down on mine! FORREST GRIFFIN IS FREEDOM, may the underdogs always have their day.

Reading a book doesn't constitute it's a religious thread. It's a book that's sometimes difficult to understand, and it was only to inform those who are interested in reading that book.

So, being DJ is about being PC? That's ignorant.

Yeah, but no matter how innocent it starts, something eventually gets said that gets everybody up in arms and then it turns into a big flaming holy war.

if the thread has any kind of religious name, or just has "religion" in the title...

people will come in and start bashing religion instantly, mainly christianity.

i don't see why you can't have a religious thread. people who are prone to bashing irrelevantly can just simply not click the thread. some people just want an religious person's point of view tied in with the topic of this site, not a random person coming in and trying to disprove the religion out of the blue... but adding a hint of relevancy so they don't get called out on it.

it's totally not suave to be religious i guess.
 

"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.
