Smooth, you expect us to believe that he called you for phone sex??

:crackup: Comeon now...
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
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.
He did. I wouldn't make things up, I have the upmost respect for this forum, and its moderators, except for the phone-sex crazed Diablo.Docs said:Smooth, you expect us to believe that he called you for phone sex??

All though the people that HATE DIABLO are not stepping up, I assure you there are more than 30, we have 52 on our forum now.

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.
Vincent said:Wow this sure is a lot of attacks without any basis. Using pseudonyms sure doesn't help your cause. Also let's see some proof that diablo is actually a bad moderator. I want links to threads, specific quotes of 'good' threads that he unfairly closed. Negative comments that were directed attacks and not just him being sarcastic. A screenshot of said PM would be nice. Otherwise all you're doing is commiting libel which is rather pointless on a forum where no one cares at all about your opinion.
Profound.Francisco d'Anconia said:You've got to understand that the Net allows many people who feel that they are slighted in their day to day lives to evoke some type of control or power from their keyboards without retribution. It's as easy as creating a new online identity if they are shut down. They can't do that in their every day lives. So they climb upon their digital soapbox to finally have a voice. They rally the troops who feel the same way. Not liking the Mods isn't the problem, it's just the symptom of something larger; probably just their need to be heard.
Technology naysayers in the media would lead you to think that this is caused by a "forever on" technological world that we live in. Computers and the Net is just a means, remember that the Net was available in the late 1960's and made publicly available in the early 80's. This 'phenomena' was not an issue 20 years ago.cant think of a user name said:Profound.
I myself have no idea how true that explanation is, but do you think this phenomenon is the product of wider societal issues such as globalization and the virtualisation of many aspects of everyday life... or... more specific to the individuals conducting anti-mod crusades?
You're absolutely right. After all, since I have this in person whenever I want, why would I want anything but your voice over a phone?Smooth Player 056 said:He did. I wouldn't make things up, I have the upmost respect for this forum, and its moderators, except for the phone-sex crazed Diablo.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

So....there should be 20 topics on jacking off (since only 5 real topics exist now)?Smooth Player 056 said:You're right.
Example: Jerking off Thread
Closed by: Diablo
Diablo, there are many threads on jacking off, but they are old. Without any fresh threads, there would be 5 topics on this whole board.
Dude, there are new posts on "gaming your oneitis" everyday. Why aren't all of those closed?Docs said:So....there should be 20 topics on jacking off (since only 5 real topics exist now)?
That's the point. There's already threads about it. There's a 13 (or so) page thread about 6 months of not doing it, and yet someone makes a thread about refraining from doing it. Or how one is created about whether it's healthy. Doing a simple search will yield more then enough threads about it.
So, bad example.
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.
Because I hit the computer at completely random times thoughout the day? I work a lot, so I throw in the odd post when I'm not too busy, or at this time of night because it's my idle time. Trust me, I have a life.PS: docs, why are you on 23 hours a day?

I'd look into the groups of people who are using the Net in this fashion. Who are they socially, how old are they, what type of parental involvement did they have while growing up and find their commonalities. That information may give a hypothesis as to what may be the causes.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
