"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.

I was thinking about taking website design classes so I could create my own webpage and possibly create a forum. How much work goes into creating a forum like this?
 

"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.

really not that much if you know what your doing. Most of it is Money and Time[not time meaning work hours rather waiting slowly for the population of the site to grow little by little.]

Go to "vbulliten.com" and check the pricing. That will tell you how much a site costs. Then look around for a host server and space. That will tell you how much it costs.

I can't give you an accurate number because I don't know all of the prices.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Server space will normally run you about $10 for a nice big site. You can probably get away with anywhere from $1-$5 and still manage a site. A server will normally register a site name for you too... meaning
yourname.whatever for example you could go with sosuave.net... oh...nvm thats taken :p

Im me for more info... If you just want a forum like this you can get them fro free but they have an add on them, which is no big deal if your not plannign on a huge site or somehting... anyway contact me and I'll tell you specs to your situation as to the furthest of my knowledge.

how much $$$$, and time
free-50,000
a few days to a few years.

Sosuave has been around since 98 I belive so thats 6 years to get to this size... with very little advertising, more word of mouth and people just stumbling

most of those are BS*, find a good programer and learn off of them. You'll remember things a lot better and it becomes more personalized. Plus it's free.


*unless they are college ones or something with backing, i'm talking about the ones offered at BestBuy and in the back of computer stores. They really don't teach you that much...

If you really want to learn a language just go live in the country for a few years without any translators... you'll pick it up. you have to.

50k? Holy cow! How come you get numbers out of your ass and noone ever calls your bull****?

This place costs at most 1k per month wich is NOT a lot of money considering all the income Allen makes out of it.

50k would be a expensive as hell site.

yes sosuave is probably more around 1k or less.[more like less]

I was giving a range... meaning from here to there. If you really wanted to go wild you could spend 50k on a site like this. If you really wanted to you could get away with spending nothing on this site. I wasn't pulling that out of my arse, I was telling the range of money you could spend on a site like this.

and no where did I say that price was monthly. I was talking about a longer time then by month for the estimate. 50k a month would be like a new car every month, which unless your rich is pointless, though better then spending it on a website.
 

"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.

mainly advertisement, upkeep[if you want to hire someone], design, advertisement, space, bandwith, stuff like that.

Really it would be harder to spend over a k then under it. Mainly because there is a limit to how much you can put into a board like this.

If you just want a forum, you can find free sites like invisionfree and proboards, or you can spend a few bucks for some space then get a phpBB for free. The software for this site vbulliten can cost a pretty penny too. I think it's somewhere around $200, if you want to go all out and actually buy the software from a freesite they can charge a couple thousand for the rights. [meaning you own the thing and can edit the actual code legally]
