How about a non-success forum where people just ***** and complain about all the crappy things that girls have done to them.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Failure forum!

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
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.

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?
