"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.

Hello all! I don't know if anyone remembers me from way back in the day - the good old glory days of ss.com :kick: I joined ss.com in 2001 (I challenge anyone to have an older join date than that :p). and was pretty active until I left around 2008 I think.

Now after a couple of LTRs and a degree under my belt, I'm kinda back - browsing the forums to get the feel for the place again. It doesn't seem like it has changed that much - the same old weird ass threads in the general discussion. :cheer:

Anyways, I thought I would check in, and see how things are going. I might be a little more active now after ending my last LTR.

PS: Is any of the old timers still around here? Like Casanova, penkitten, desdinova, backbreaker, rollo? I remember reading backbreakers weird ass threads and laughing my ass off.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

backbreaker's the most active on that list other than Des. pk still posts every once in a while. Her hubby casanova does too, but very rarely. Rollo still posts now and then.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Well, one thing has changed. backbreaker's weird ass threads are just annoying as hell now, rather than funny.

Backbreaker is still around, with his lengthy threads about how much money he supposedly makes, how hot his white wife is, how all his female friends want him, etc. A few others have stuck around too.

I remember you.

bb's posts are no longer considered legible by the management. I've had several reports of damaged monitors and he has been banned until he installs a spell checker into his Commodore 64. (bb, I'm just messin' with ya bro. It was an easy shot...). ;)

Welcome back, Centaurion. A lot of people say the place has changed drastically. I don't think it has. Things kind of cycle in waves around here.

With the amount of time you have been exposed to red pill and game, It might be interesting if you would care to share your perspective on Woman and LTRs.

Any thoughts on how your experience here has affected your life and relationships?

Welcome back

"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.

Thanks for the welcome guys.

I've been thinking of making a post about the time away from ss.com and how I utilized the stuff I learned.

He and I wrote each other several times a week, and he never told me he was sick. What a trooper.

No more keyboard jockeying . Action is the place.
Sorry to post on MM, but Cent, you're a ****ing legend. I remember reading that thread in the archives about you going out to a bar, picking up a chick, ended up doing some ICE and railing her. ****ing king lol.
 

"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.

Welcome back. You may be disappointed by some of the posts that were once deemed inappropriate for the forum but are now being dignified.
