"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
How about removing the censorship?

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Metahuman(/Demon) got banned beceuse he is an atheist and just a little opinionated. He has a tendency to respond a bit too aggressively, and often at a reading level too high for some of the other posters. Due to his refusal to kiss a$$, certian cry-baby AFC's demaned that he be banned because he hurt their tender little feelings. (AWWWW!)
Metahuman has now joined the illustrious ranks of other who were also banned for their opinions. Galileo, Thomas Jefferson, Charles Darwin, Jesus, Dr. Seuess, Gandhi...etc.
If it wasnt for that reason, I dont support the fact that he got banned.
"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.

Swear words would not promote the productivity of the forum.
I don't mind the censor because I don't swear often anyways.
No, he hasn't: None of the people named there would consistently badger and berate those who differed with them. None of those would, nearly every time they wrote something, find some new way to vilipend and criticize people whose opinions differed.

I DID say he was a bit aggressive!
Conflict is a strong bonding influence. It draws a line and insists you choose a side. By choosing a side you also are inclined to bond with those who are on "your" side. You share a common ideal.
Conflict also teaches you to stand up for what you believe. Even if someone tells you that you're wrong or silly for those beliefs. You learn to hang tough. Conflict teaches you strength.
Although his technique might be questionable, I do think he brought valuable lessons to the board. And I also think banning him was a bit harsh. But that's my opinion.

hed flame so many people and then ask for them to be banned once they returned the favor
he stalked diesel all day
what valuable lessons? how NOT to act? how lying always catches up with you? how nobody cares if you think your a genious?

I have read some of his old posts, mostly for the sheer amusement value. (Not only his rants, but the rants in reply proved to be just as acidic and arrogant.) I've seen him on other boards behaving with perfect manners. Even in matters relating to religion & politics.
Don't think for a second I have been spared his sharp teeth. He & I have exchanged some heated words. But these are very rare instances. 99% of the time, he has behaved like a perfect gentleman. How is it that I can interact with him without hostility and you can't?
(BTW...it's spelled "genius")
