Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
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.
Your reason?DJVladdy said:I would like to become a moderator
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.
You are a lot closer to the actual process than you think. Minus the cash anyway.Maxtro said:Heh I thought about being a mod on occasion, simply to get rid of the trash that often collects here.
There should be be moderator audtions, where each person who wants to be a mod should post why they want to be a mod, and how they plan to make sosuave a better place. Then everybody who wants to be a mod has to pack a suitcase and they move into a mansion. They are divided into teams and forced to undergo challenges. Whom ever is left standing at the end can become a moderator or takes the $10,000 grand prize.
What! There is no cash prize?! Fine, I'll hang up my pimp cane and go back home.Heart Break Kid said:You are a lot closer to the actual process than you think. Minus the cash anyway.
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.
Actually none of us like Heart Break Kid, but we put up with him because he's a great troll catcher.j0n024 said:But seeing as how society works they (MODS) will pick someone they LIKE as opposed to picking someone better suited for the job...

If only we were allowed to post a photo of the Mod Corner, you'd realize how wrong that statement is.j0n024 said:The mods now are very very lazy and I think they should be changed or at least put some ACTIVE members on the mod board.
One more well placed neg and my bytch shield will be down. Looks like all your excercise might pay off.Quiksilver said:Actually none of us like Heart Break Kid, but we put up with him because he's a great troll catcher.
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.
You forgot about deleting all the reported posts from your inbox. You know, the ones where n00bs ask basic questions. We get lots of those. Oh yeah, and the ones from iqqi too.Provides some relief from deleting spam and troll posts
Actually that was a back-handed compliment, you'd better brush up on your skills before you embarrass yourself anymore..Heart Break Kid said:One more well placed neg and my bytch shield will be down. Looks like all your excercise might pay off.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
