Clooney I agree.
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.
Diablo - closing threads.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
I totally disagree with these guys. As I said in another thread, you can't blame Diablo for applying the rules, you should blame SoSuave's founder for imposing some rules that frankly I don't like either. Rules as "no politics" and "no threads already discussed" are pretty stupid in a forum, since the meaning of a discussion board is to discuss... also things already talked about.
I dont blame Diablo for closing political threads. But this thread was economical, it had a small portion of politics in it, but the vast vast majority was on economics. This is where the rules become blurred, and this is where it is being a nazi closing a thread like that. No other mod closed it, and most over the years I have been here would have let it go on. It was NOT degenerating, and was NOT political. So a few people can go into a thread and say, liberal politics SUCK, and it will be closed? Even if its someones journal on their latest "field reports"? Same difference. A few idiots making political comments does not make a thread political. Thats my problem. I never said Diablo should be banned or have his mod status taken away as I dont post here enough these days to really see any of the posts he has made. I have just noticed a few threads being closed lately that would have not been closed over the last 4+ years. Have the "rules" changed recently?
Blast it all! I thought I logged into the pvussy-gittin forum, not some financial network, not a X-box 360 vs Playstation 3 forum, and certainly not a “George Bush’s eyes are too close together so he’s a retard..” forum.
I am quite surprised that ENTIRE SECTIONS of this forum are not just expunged, like so many super-models’ breakfasts.

So what are you saying dude? Does Diablo suck or not?grinder said:
"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.

There is too much fat here, trim it, nip it, axe it.
Probably a result of my extremely short attention span. Make me a mod and no post would ever exceed 4 sentences (and non of that weird-ass james joyce thousand-word sentence sh*t!).
47, but I am now reading on a 50 year old level.
I was too vague. My point, there is TOO much here, its not one forum, its 10 and expecting it all to be moderated (properly or not) is unrealistic.
There is a lot of great stuff here, but huge heaps of garbage too that needs to be taken out (by the mods) on an hourly basis.

actually, I haven't checked out mystery method, and don't intend to. In defense of Diablo, I haven't ever seen him post an illogical or overreacted post, and I have been with this site for a fair amount of time (although of late I have not checked in at all). I respect him. I am not a$$kissing right now, but just stating some truth. Besides, even if Diablo was perfect, he will always have someone to detract from him, as do all authorities.Carlos Xuma said:
