"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I recently noticed that A LOT of new posters seem to talk like their experts. How about having a sign up test. If they pass they get in, no problem, if there answers suggest AFCness or Oneitis.. on their screenname, under where the post number is, it says "AFC Test Score" etc. Once they hit 150-200 posts or like 3 months, it goes away. This way old members can take it and pass, and new members will be taken as they are.

Credibility in posts is not something that is given.. it should be earned.

Just an idea...
 

"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.

oh yeah and what kind of questions, people will just look up the stuff find it answer the question simple as that and if they do not do ok they will try again with a new name. Beings a DJ is more then knowing the theory, if i know i have to be confident and should not de desprate, does that make me a DJ.

and why would 200 posts or 3 months make some one a DJ some people just do not have a clue and they could have lots of posts and have been here a year and not know what they are talking about.

"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.

Exactly where I want to be.
This sorta thing was suggested like...a while ago...yeah.

Anyway...The whole "Entrance Test" thing isn't totally feasible unless you know someone who's going to put in the wrench time to not only write it up, have Allen implement it, but keep it updated as well. Also, the idea of having the "AFC Test Score" thing go away after a few months is only incentive for someone to go post-crazy. I think - if anything - if a person got a low test score that they would be required to take it again after some predetermined time span has passed.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right 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.

Youre implying that all of the bible is written in stone. Its not. There is more than one answer to many questions. And we were all AFCs in the beginning. The test wont tell us anything new.
