"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.

Just read about Ray Leotta death. Catsmeow thread. The Mod made sure to add his/her personal viewpoints before closing down the thread.
Closing it because he no longer wants to hear viewpoints. That aren't in line with his. Wtf?
 

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

I respect Bill's responsibility to keep the forum running smoothly and I don't disagree with that individual decision. That being said I thought he could have left out his own personal viewpoints as well. Mods giving the appearance of taking sides isn't conducive to "running smoothly".

A simple "this subject is controversial and has been discussed ad nauseum" and leaving it at that would have sufficed.

Ehhh this is a privately owned and financed site, whoever is paying the bill sets the rules. If the person footing the bill trusts the mods then so be it. I’ve moderated online forums before, “you can please some of the people some of the time…”

Personally, the manicured and curated egos of some parties here provide me enough value and a personal petri dish to conduct my research in, worth the rare inconvenience here and there.

Thank the mods, it’s not an easy job. And yes I’ve been called out by them too in the past.

The job is akin to herding cats.

Good points ^^^^^. In his defense, I'm no better just rubs me wrong.
 

"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.

Good post, I agree. We all have our good and bad days. I was in a hurry and not on top of my Mod game when I made that post, but its main purpose was to relay some of the height of Covid fear mongering that occurred on the Forum back then, and we will not be doing a repeat performance of that now.

As of this morning, Ray’s actual cause of death has not been publicly released yet…

Thanks @Billtx49

I still think it's odd that after two weeks since his death, the public still hasn't been made aware of his exact cause of death, perhaps once we are, such speculation will stop.
It’s probably due to the fact that he died in the Dominican Republic. Politifact is now stating the claim that he died from Covid or a vaccine is false.

This ^

We really have to get over talking about Covid and spreading unnecessary fear. We've gone through enough of social terrorizing and division to continue it 3 years later. The real pandemic was and still is people spreading fear, division, and hate under the disguise of a virus.

Stop.

The real pandemic is still obesity.
 

"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.

In his last photos, he looks pretty bloated in the face.

My guess something related to long years of boozing, etc.
Could very well be, we may never know as I seriously doubt his family would agree to autopsy findings being publicly released unless blamed on a natural cause…
