Seriously.... it is gettin to the point that no one seems to be learning
"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.
Maybe we should shut down the forums

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
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.

word....what im saying is that the forums are hurtin more people than it is helping by far. I can go int damn near every post in the DJ Forum and spot bad advice, and 4 guys coming afterwards and agreeing. I am not a genius at this stuff, all I did was read the bible. Is it really that hard?
If the forums get shutdown for a while, people can actually read the bible and get in the field instead of posting BS all the time

errrr...
The threads you are feferring to are only threads that suit what YOU are saying... What about all the threads with GOOD advise that actually help MANY people? Why are you dissregarding those threads? People are advised to read the bible BEFORE they come post on these forums, and for those that think that they know it all and give sh!t advice, well then others that HAVE read the bible and those with more experienced will correct them. You cannot count on that happening ALL the time, nothing is perfect, but you saying that this forum brings more bad than good is total nonsence to me! There are guys here that learn and have their problems solved every day, and like I said before, if you think that this forum is bad, then YOU can leave, but suggesting that the forum be closed is idiotic to me.
Laterz....

I think just giving people a different perspective on a situation or problem they're having is reason enough to have the forums. I definatly don't take all the advice I read from other people because I do have a mind of my own and I'll concider things before implicating them. I do however read what people are saying and THINK about what they're saying. Everyone has a different perspective, and if what i'm reading is crap then it's really up to me to see that.
Sure there's alot of bad advice going around out there, but it's up to the person who posed the question to use their brain and weed out whats bad from what's not. After reading the bible, anybody should be able to tell good advice from bad advice. If they don't take that first step, it's really their own fault if they go out and try to utilize some one's bad advice.
