What the hell are you talking about, you just came out of nowhere. How can you talk about patience when I waited for 2 years to become a mod!Originally posted by TheVirtualMind
Whatever happend to "patience?"
:cheer:
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.

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

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...
people cry and complain...

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

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.Originally posted by ~ªêQµïTª$~

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

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.Originally posted by WesCottII

Mod humor is strictly forbidden because everyone else starts getting yelled at.

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.

There is NO sign of ANY sarcasm in that, so my appologies for not picking that upStuff like that isn't acceptable to be a moderator.

Cliff notes : A fool. Pretty apt, huh?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.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
