"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.

It's been happening, I thought it was just the internet, or just heavy traffic, but it happens during slow periods, and on different internet connections and systems...

WHy are there 80+ items remaining to load for like 3 minutes at a time?

I don't know how long it takes for a cookie or whatever to time out, but after 3 minutes of nothing happening the page just stops loading.

When I post with quick reply, half the time it doesn't want to finish posting, the page loads forever, than quits half way through.

Waiting for a single page to open takes AGES, I open five pages and I have enough time to write an email to a friend, play two games of solitaire, freecell, do like 10 searches on the web, and it's STILL loading!!!

What the hell is happening?
 

"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.

yes it sucks. The gay color scheme sucks to. The advice on the front page sucks too.

Guys the color is easy to change.

First log-in (so your preferences get saved), then scroll down to the bottom of the page. On the bottom left there's a pull down menu, pick what you want. The blue look is "Default". There's others too.

I changed the colour the day the forums were back up...

The load times are btter now, but sometimes....
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
