How about a non-success forum where people just ***** and complain about all the crappy things that girls have done to them.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Failure forum!

"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.

EXTNE on this idea! Way too negative. We hear enough frustrated people whinning anyway without sactioning it with it's own forum.

Sometimes we learn more from our failures than our successes. Good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement. I think that there is something to be said for a person who posts the areas in which they are having problems or failures, so that the DJ board as a whole can examine their mistakes and learn from them.
I don't know that I would recommend a whole forum for it though. They seem to fit in okay in the Discussion forum. But there is definitely a value to failure stories.

Maybe a flame forum where we can stick you guys, sixpakGQ and wyldfire for an hour and see who comes out still standing?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
