"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.

How about a redesign?

I know the site has a lot of content now so this could be very time consuming but I feel the current style isn't very refined. As the whole DJ thing is about refining outselves and improving our techniques I feel the front-page feel of the site lets it down when you first visit.

After a while you get used to it and even grow to like the simple layout but I think something a little cleaner could remain easily readable but also more professional and in keeping with the 'suave' nature of the DJ philosophy.

Perhaps some other thoughts on the design would be interesting?
 

"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.

Wouldn't have to take longer to load. If anything the current design with its tiled background could take slightly longer. I especially think the main page is a bit weak. I think the navigation that appears on the other pages should be on the main page and the explanation of the sections should be made in a single column like an article or sorts.

Anyway, I'm not really complaining too much, it's the content that I come for, I just know the first time I came to the site I wasn't very impressed, some people are more fickle than me, might not delve deeper or something.

I've been working on a redesign for months. Hired a couple people to redesign the site for me (cost a lot of money), but haven't found anything I really like yet.

Of course when I eventually do come up with a design I like, that I think totally kicks butt, I'm sure everyone will complain and say "change it 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.

I'm with a redisign, the front page and its links doesnt look good for a first time visitor, of course its the content that counts but a new nice design would be great, also to organise the links on the front page in columns and sectors instead of having them lying around randomly.

IMPROVE

If there's room for improvement, improve!


"leave it the way it is" is the worst advice you could give
