"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I have only one comment for now:

1. Color sheme: From what i have read in annoncement, it's not the definitive one: Definitively too much white in the border of the box of messages (not sure how to name that), wich create a too big contrast... I already feel my eyes burning!


Otherwise, i see there is some nice new features and i am glad to see the board back and running!

ps: I first wrote two comments, the second about the e-mail visible option wich was "no" by default. I realised that the e-mail is not visible and the e-mail is sent throught the board. I reacted fast like a newbee! My bad!

Anyway that reminded me about this, wich should interest hotmail users:

Someone told me recently about Hotmail accout options. Look at .NET Passport section in the Profile option You will be surprised that your info are shared to other compagnies without your express consent.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I don't mind the layout (it's sort of like the forum at another site i go to). The new features (like being able to see who's on the forums right now)
are nice, too.


However, I do want the old colour scheme back, and i also want the old smilies/message icons back.


Also, i miss not being able to review the thread when I post a new message.

ill add to this post - can you have the webpage name changed? Instead of having it
Don Juan Discussion - TOPIC NAME
have it as
TOPIC NAME - Don Juan Discussion
like it used to be.

the reason for this request is that i put a lot of posts as favorites, and if the topic name is long i wont be able to see the whole name of it
 

"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.
