"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.

Last Man Standing was banned!

"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.

Sort of a bummer. He was a pure troll but he was easy to ignore and sort of funny. The worst thing was that some feminist cows latched onto his posts as "typical" of "places like this" and used him as a propaganda tool, but really he's a completely different sort of tool .....

RIP LMS.

Let's guess which of his aliases are in this thread!

I don't like any banning except spam-trolls. LMS had a right to call practically all sexually active women hors, even if I don't agree.
 

"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.

Might that also be part of the "Great Thread Move of 2007" that happened a while back? In any case it was overdue but for LMS (and one LMS only) most of us would have made an exception I think. Ah well, can't honestly say he'll be sorely missed either.

Don't worry, I'm sure Puerto Rican Lov,..ergh,..Last Man Standing will come back in some new incarnation. We're taking bets on what his new alias will be.

I wonder who Natural Player thinks he is?? You seem very curious that LMS got banned, even though you just registered yesterday. Hmm, something fishy is going on. Either you ARE him, or you are another troll.

30 posts per day? Do you have a job?

edit: I just noticed Sparky0000 banned as well. Good riddance, all he posted about was Ukraine. However, I did some reading up on Ukraine yesterday, and it seems their market is on the rise, especially real estate. Since the Orange Scandal in 2004, the economy has been steadily growing, and there is now around $17 Billion of foreign investments in Ukraine. Some people think it's still instable because of the difference between rich and poor, and the corruption, but real estate is the most secure of forms of investing there. I'm personally considering buying an apartment in Yalta, which is a crowded tourist area, right by the Black sea. So, even though Sparky0000 sounded like a broken recorder, there was some truth to his incessant cries of "Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine!" When most people think of Ukraine they think Soviets or a cold gloomy place with corruption and crime. It's not so bad though. The Euro beat the US dollar some time ago, and who knows if the hryvnia will also surpass the dollar some time in the future. One thing is certain - the future of world economic growth is not in the United States.

right, or I was just browsing and noticed he was banned. I don't exactly sound like him buddy
 

"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.

About time. People like that send all the wrong messages and try to turn impressionable guys into pessimistic cowards.

We need more positivity and motivation in my opinion, and a DJ should be cool and collected, not angry and paranoid.

More building up, less tearing down, yeah. I'd like to also see more emphasis on fact identified as fact and opinion as opinion but that's probably asking too much.

I think that once I completely demolished his arguments about the moon landing being a hoax that it was all over for him. :kick: ;)

Well, as long as Sparky and DjSlvt are banned, I guess that outweighs LMS's ban.

We all know he'll be back, anyways.

I'd support a ban on anyone whose average daily post is more than 10.
 

"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?

Between LMS and his alter ego PRL he logged almost 5,000 post...and has now been banned twice. His one dimentional philosophy apparently didn't sit well with the local law enforcement. It's likely they "tolorated" him as long as they could, then when his productivity plateaued, he got the axe.

Can't win them all i suppose.

That's a pretty stupid decision, he was funny. It's hard to understand how he was banned, and not the morons who keep asking same questions over and over again. He just ****ed around a bit too much, could've warned him at least.

I'm sure they did. He's just a bit fanatical in his rhetoric, but i did find him entertaining.

i can think of alot of people that should have been banned before him.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
