"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.

No, this isn't a suicide letter (is for my forum account though).

In 24 hours I'll change the e-mail associated to this account to a temporary self-destructing e-mail, I'll also change my password to a random string of symbols I'll never remember. I'll basically brick my account, a mod might also ban me just to be sure, you have my consent.

So why? This place isn't what it used to be and I should never return here, it's a waste of time. I needed this place as a crutch a few years back, but I can stand on my own now. I can't provide anything that hasn't been regurgitated a billion times over here, so I don't really have a reason to stay.

I'll make a poll, although I'll still leave regardless of results.

Have fun.. or whatever you call this.
 

"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.

I really benefited from some of your posts and your knowledge so thank you man.
Never hold up travelers. Have a nice journey Grewd and take care.
Peace, Polysix

PS: I´d vote for Gay in your poll, but you´ve unfortunately missed the opportunity.
Just kidding! :p
Farewell bro!

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Grewd, you have been a good poster that I can recall. Why not just take a break from SS for a few months (or longer), then come back? I did that for about 2 x years at one point. Why these attention seeking dramatics?

Good luck to you whatever you decide. I think your perspective has value & worth. You keep it real and you have success that lots of the guys here (besides the obvious attention seekers) aspire to.

But I can see the one dimensional ness as well.

Just my 2 cents. Cheers
 

"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.

I propose a new rule for the mods. If a guy comes here announcing that they are leaving, the mods sort of, uh, well....'grease the doorway' for him, if you know what I mean. Permanently.

Gotta give him credit. He hasn't been back since his announcement.

IMO, this site is light-years ahead of where it was 10 years or so ago when many were idolizing Mystery and a few people like myself that called it "clown game" we're attacked.

I've been in a couple of LTR's over the last several years and was inactive here, but now lurk/post on occasion to keep my game sharp.

So, how long did the hiatus last?

Why did you come back etc?
 

"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.

About a month.

Came back to get more likes, waste some time and maybe give someone some useful information. I think I'll significantly reduce my activity on this forum again, might just even forget it. I don't really gain anything on this.

In fairness, Richard has become a more interesting read than you.

It's interesting how many of you have become so reactionary and well downright catty towards him.

I'd go for a beer with @RichardTheFrog , over you.
Its okay bro afterwards u two can go bang some prostitutes together then he will give u ride in his lambo


But honestly, i know im not posting anything interesting. I either ask for advice or post a joke. Im fine with this.

Btw your friend Richard was the one who started insulting everyone first so why r u defending this evil guy (not like i care, but that prob means u like to drink beer with criminals AND keyboard warriors)
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.
