"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.

Heres what my idea is:

- At the moment, AFC questions are locked/deleted. They soon dissapear out of view, so others make the same mistake because they're idiots.
- My proposal is to create a Stupid Questions forum - perhaps with the heading - "Stupid questions go here. Please read the Bible first to avoid the shame of your thread being moved here!". A stupid question will be moved here by the mods rather than locked/deletion. Advantages of this are:
- AFCs get shamed - THEY SHOULD HAVE READ THE BIBLE!
- It keeps all the AFCs in the same place
- It keeps all the DJs in the same place
- Others will be less likely to post AFC threads if they read some of the posts in the forum first.

I admit its not perfect, but any thoughts, and any idea how to improve on the proposal?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Yeah, not such a bad idea. Or have a special section that would contain a list of those "stupid" questions/topics, not the actual posts, and whenever a new one is spotted in the forums, it could get added to the list of questions not to ask...

people wont listen, so i think the easyest way to shame is to have an AFC list where they add the names of the people who post stupid things, latest entry at the top obviously.

This could be achieved by making the forum "read only".
