"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.

"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.

What are you implying? :trouble:

Besides, I don't see why people are rushing to be moderators. Get it out of your mind people, it isn't an easy job. Half of you can't even approach a girl without going "Well, gee, erm, I would...Erm..." So what makes you think watching over 10,000+ posters is any easier?

don't forget mods aren't allowed to have a sense of humor or anything of the like. Everyone knows what happens to mods when they have a sense of humor...

What's so special about being a mod anyway? I never understood why people post like mofo's just to get the "mod" position...

For most people, its in their human nature to be "power hungry" and being a mod is like being someone that is "powerfull". Thats just how people think, wheather they are aware of it or not. If I were to become a moderator here though, my intentions would be for nothing more than to help the other mods and allen keep this place in order. :rolleyes: ;)

"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 didn't become a mod to be power hungry, but I have been accused of it. I just noticed that the highschool forum was falling apart and that we needed a mod that would actually care for it. But then again I did wait 2 years to get the job, so I think I had a lot of seniority, not just 6 months (or 1 day like some mods :mad: )

Being a mod isn't as fun as you might think. Sometimes I just want to leave this forum but I feel obliged to read posts and keep things clean. But, eh, I can do it.

Stuff like that isn't acceptable to be a moderator.

Also Vincent, I didn't wait 1 day to become a moderator...I waited nearly a week!

I guess it helps when you know allen :rolleyes:
 

"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.

What makes it not acceptable? Is having some humour against the "rules"?:confused:

I'm really not in the mood to go post hunting for you, but I can think of MANY posts that Moderators have posted that I have read in the past 6 months that are of similar nature to the one I just posted. And TheVirtualMind.. who the HELL are you to tell ME what is acceptable or not? hell, I have been here longer than you, and obviously by you thinking that its not acceptable, you have NOT read many of the threads that the moderators themselves have posted that are of similar nature to the one I just did. I see nothing wrong with it, and nor have or do any of the other people here, or the mods, so who are you to suddenly come up with a statement like that? :mad: This forum allowed humour, and without humour this place would become boring to an extent too, so don’t go telling people that using some humour will not play to their advantage!:down: *sigh*

I think that he was just joking because mods are supposed to act like robots but cannot hurt others feelings, if you do therefore you will yelled at by a group of people saying how it should never have happened.

Mod humor is strictly forbidden because everyone else starts yelling at them.

BTW wescott I'm friends with the mods and treat them like normal posters. I see nothing wrong with any of them.

Neither do I. It's sycophants such as yourself that get my last nerve. Nothing personal, i just dislike sycophants in general. It's like you're sucking up to the head bully so he doesn't kick your ass.

so then if I was friends with you or anybody else on this forum other then mods and i wanted to stick up for you against the mods. Would that still be just as bad or would that somehow be good. :down: or :up: :D

Thank you comic. Apparently ''sarcasm'' is lost on aqueitas.

Also aqueitas, I've been here MUCH longer than my registration date shows.
 

"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've got friends, but i'm not trying to get in their pants.

The point is that you arn't friends with me (more's the pity). You're sucking up so when a moderator slot comes along, all your brown-nosing will put you firmly in the number-1 contendership spot.

While i'm on the point, whats the fascination with becoming a mod? It looks pretty s*itty to me. People complaining, and you have to put up "Mr. Smithers'" constant arse licking.

By the way, are you aware where the phrase "comic relief" comes from? ......

Quoted from dictionary.com

A humorous or farcical interlude in a serious literary work or drama, especially a tragedy, intended to relieve the dramatic tension or heighten the emotional impact by means of contrast.
Cliff notes : A fool. Pretty apt, huh?

"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.
