"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've talked to at least 30 of you guys via PM's. We all agree that we HATE DIABLO, the moderator. We feel like leaving the forum.

If you don't like diablo, please say: "out" on this thread.

If you do like him say: "leave"

Thanks

"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.

Everywhere you want to be.... I'm like a Visa card
Either way, you aren't going to change anything. I'd rather see you guys leave. I have no beef with diablo and I respect the work he has to put in just to keep the site like THIS, as I do all the mods. If the mods weren't doing their jobs, this place would fall apart pretty rapidly.

If you don't want him closing all your threads, make better threads. ^_^

I also think its cute how you went and made a new account, so your real one isn't banned. Nice one there guy. Way to cover your tracks.

Diablo is one of the few people on this site with actual game and proof to back it up, so he always gets my vote of confidence. He's contributed more to this site then you, and his style of modding is fairly professional compared to some of the guys we've had back in the day.

Man, if I was a mod, I'd have a lot of people lined up for temp suspensions (I'm geninely amazed he doesn't use this, as this is a moderator power, REMEMBER THAT).

Feel lucky to be able to post. If you want to talk bush, gore and osama, make/find a new forum. It's a goddamn rule.

That, and...

'Am I gay. A guy told me I looked gay.'

...questions, do you honestly expect a decent response. That's why he locks threads.

Faggot, grow up.

while I dont agree with some of his reasons for closing threads

(politics? who cares, so long as everything is kept civil and doesnt resort to anarchy and/or flaming)

he does "take out the garbage" so to speak.

The fact that you're getting so worked up about something so trivial which you can just ignore on an internet forum (which you can just ignore) indicates that you need something. I can't remember what it is though. It's on the tip of my tongue, damn, what is it ...

What is the problem with Diablo? He closes threads too much? I would rather have an overzealous moderator than one who lets the board get out of control. Face it, this forum attracts morons.

If you have a problem with him closing a thread, you should PM him and try to work it out.
 

"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.

why is it that posts like this come up every couple of months about hating the mods. Last time it was Giovanni Casanova. The time before that it was Eternal. Stop your b!tching and start living life.

diablo is the best mod on this site. He only closes threads when there is good reason. He's also the only mod I see that moves threads to the right forums.

I say that you guys should just leave if you dont like how things are, and dont let the door digitally hit you in the a5s on the way out.

Diablo does his job P*E*R*F*E*C*T*L*Y. We can (and I have, many times) argue about some rules of this forum, but we can't blame him for making people respect them.

I don't think the problem is with any of the Mods.

Thanks for your constructive feedback, even if the reasoning behind it was rather vague. I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I'm a little confused as to why the other (more than a) quarter hundred people you've talked about this haven't appeared to have made a single post in support of your crusade? :rolleyes:

If you feel like leaving, that's your choice. Have a great life...
 

"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.
