What the hell is that supposed to mean?BingoBango said:
"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.
I am probably going to be leaving sosuave.net for good very soon...

"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.
You have a serious case of thread One-itis...the only cure is to go read other threads...immediately!DarthJuan said:I've invested too much time following this thread...I can't bring myself to let it get nexted.

Calm down people.
Breath 2 3 4, hold 2 3 4
Exhale 2 3 4.
That's what it means.

No, please don't leave!!! (sarcasm)
Don't hit yourself with the door on the way out. Yet another example of a woman seeking added drama in her life... and a bunch of wanna be white knights jumping around to protect her. Five years and it dawned on her that this is a site for men.

Rather than telling the whole forum by making a thread just dedicating to your DEPARTURE why don't you just DO IT? Nothing wrong with staying or not it's your choice it's just that noone cares if someone leaves the forum or not, unless it's someone who contributes positively to the forum/DJ bible like Pook and Senior Fingers. I skimmed your posts/threads and it just looks like your staying for attention... cmon you joined 2001 and your a CHICK! Your freaking 40... no offense but your prob been out of the game for a long time to add your "advice."
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Well, I personally do not care whether or not wyldfire stays or not. However, a pattern I do notice is that many of the people who seem to see some value in her staying are relative new posters while many of the older guys who have been here for years and years could not be more happy than to see her go.
All I am going to say is that I think [actually, I know for a fact] that the older members who have been here for a few years know a little something more about wyldfire's contributions than the newcomers, who for the more part I would say are relativelly naive. Wyldfire has indeed a proven past history of overreacting to postings that may not even be entirely aimed at her and using that as a lunging point to unreasonably flame people who have never really targeted her personally in what they said. Albeit to be fair to wyldfire some of those strong overreactions may have been provoked by certain people hitting some soft spots, making some things better left unsaid anyhow. However, this is a board full of men trying to pick up women and you have to admit it is a little strange for there to be an overlysensitive and agressive woman lurking around giving advice and flamming people unreasonably. Now, I am not going to say she has done this recently ... I do not know, but I know she acted that way a few years ago and whether that has changed I do not know. For the most part I have had her on ignore for the past two years anyways and it is likely to stay that way for a few more.
And I think that the people who are flamming her now are probably doing so because they are sick of some things she is doing herself and therefore they have lost total respect for her. On the other hand, she may not actually deserve most of the attacks she gets and for the most part pissed people are attacking her on overkill. I suppose it could go either way since I have not posted here for a decent amount of time and I can not say for sure. That is my take on it.

Social dynamics on the internet is such a new and interesting issue in life.
To me in general, the internet is still a place to voice ideas,etc. I don't care too much if someone disagrees with me politically or in my other ideas, but there is a key distinction.
I don't take arguments serious because I have never actually met any of these people. The dynamic changes after it becomes people you have met.
For instance on a sports board I read, they regularly have get togethers. Easy to do since the posters are mainly local.
What you find is, that once you have met the people, arguments become way more civil and less likely to happen.
The anonymity of the internet allows such stupid attacks to take place, and in my opinion it's also why I don't take anyones attacks seriously.
I do hate how threads become flame wars but the best one can do is ignore the attacks and keep posting ones point if they'd like to.
One real reason to not take this site seriously is to look at what is most likely the #1 thread on the board. "THE DON"T MASTURBATE THREAD". We have a whole thread on here about guys trying to quit masturbating! That's one of the longest threads on this board, if not the longest.
So Wyldfire, stay, don't take it seriously.

I agree, Ricky. It all reminds me of this story:
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Cafe/6821/thurber.html
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Cafe/6821/thurber.html
"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.
She's Funny!
I'm mature enough not to let her bother me. Sometimes, I read her posts and get a good laugh, nothing more nothing less. She's just being a 'woman'. If she were in her rightful place she would'nt even be posting here. Todays women are out of line. To be honest I really don't even read her post's anymore. Same as it ever was...

This is what I hate. Posts that are logical and well-conceived. This one post has effectively ruined this forum. Gone are the days of the nimble finger keyboard jockey. The yelling, the ranting, the anger. Now we have the wise sage with his sensible advice. I say, "IGNORE SUCH TROLLS!" Right, Vulpine? :rock:Ricky said:
For the record: The greatest posts on this board are the ones where guys try to challenge themselves to talk to random broads. I can just imagine some dude sitting over his latte thinking, "Gotta do this. Just focus. Don't say anything stupid. Just ignore the large butt. Focus on ****y. Let's do dis s***!" By this time his latte is cold and the chunky broad is long gone. "Refocus, don't blow this one." Does it ever end?
