So YOU were Dr Beard!Desdinova said:how many people here have more than one account to support their own retarded posts
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.

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.
I hear 'ya and I can only imagine what you guys have to put up with. I've always had mad props for you guys.Giovanni Casanova said:For whoever DOES get the mod positions, I'd like to offer the following guide:
(1) You suck. No matter what you do. Get used to it.
(2) Did you know that this forum gets flooded by neo-Nazi groups, KKK, ultra-feminist groups, people who want to offer everybody free iPods and Playstations, and bored 12-year-olds who think posting threads titled "I HAVE SEX WITH YUR MOMS BUTT" is the pinnacle of humor? You didn't know that? Thank a mod.
(3) It makes people angry if you are not making sure that every thread is in its proper forum. They will say, "WTF, mods? Why is this in the Tips Forum? It belongs in Anything Else! Worst mods EVAR!" Then they will cry and proceed to cut themselves.
(4) It makes people angry if you move threads to another forum. They will say, "WTF, mods? Why did you move my thread from Tips to Anything Else? Worst mods EVAR!" Then they will cry and proceed to cut themselves.
(5) Did I already say that you suck no matter what you do?
(6) Drinks in the Moderator's Corner are 1/2 off between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM on weeknights.
(7) Everything you say will be looked at with new scrutiny. Because you agreed to move threads to the correct forum and close or delete inappropriate threads, you are now considered a role model for some of the most f*cked up adolescent-aged and adolescent-minded posters to be found on any forum on the Internet (except the forums where they talk about having sex with cartoon animals). Now you can't say anything remotely controversial without someone saying, "You're setting a horrible example!"
(8) This site, by its very nature, is composed of many people who have -- how do I put this gently? -- social/personality issues. In their real lives, they often do not feel like "alpha males", so they decide to become an "alpha male" on an internet dating forum. So they take on the nearest "authority figure", which ends up being a mod. Now, yeah, they're just like mosquitoes... annoying, but easy to squash. Still, who likes being surrounded by mosquitoes all the time?
(9) Have I mentioned that you suck no matter what you do?
Oh I'm sure... Hmmmm... That type of administration could easily add to my post count... I'm in!Desdinova said:...
Francisco, this is the opportunity of a lifetime to get another 10,000 posts. Those "Moved to xx Forum" posts add up![]()
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.

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.
People didn't like you because you changed the wording of their posts and deleted whatever post you didn't agree with!! You were a MOD NAZI!Giovanni Casanova said:(1) You suck. No matter what you do.

I'm not getting into that old argument, PRL, er, I mean LMS, except to say that your version of events is fiction, and only hors make up stories like that to suit their own purposes.Last Man Standing said:People didn't like you because you changed the wording of their posts and deleted whatever post you didn't agree with!!

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.
