"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.
MODERATORS - What happened with all the "Master Don Juan" titles???
- Thread starter Tantric
- Start date
"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.

That's why some people have been promoted, others demoted, and some have stayed the same.
In your case, Tantric, we didn't think you really deserved your Master Don Juan title, and so we stripped it from you until you EARN it.
We feel that you still needed a few more quality posts to prove yourself. I think two or three more good posts should get you over the line.

I just spoke with a couple of the other moderators, and they actually think you were a little hard-done-by not getting at least Senior DJ status. I'm almost certain that you'll get it with a couple more posts.
Guitar_Whizz,
Pook's status was one of the more hotly debated issues. (We only considered accounts that have been active within the past 9 months) We actually decided to give him Senior DJ status for a strange reason - he is worshipped! We figured that people already take his advice like medicine and there are an over-abundance of posts asking Pook for advice that to give him the highest possible status would be against everything he has preached, and his followers would increase to uncontrollable numbers, probably flooding the board with questions to Pook.
However the matter is still under consideration and may yet be changed.
EDIT: Just to let you know, Tantric, your status has been upgraded. Congrats.

"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.

I also agree. Everyone knows Pook is the ultimate DJ. He is a shining example. How could he NOT be given master dj status?

Now, here's my question. If you have some determination of how far and in what areas a DJ has achieved, then vice versa, can you offer some constructive criticism on which avenues need to be more closely examined?

You are kidding right?
From what I've seen, you are to remain "senior DJ" until your 500 post, then you'll be "Master DJ". Correct me if I'm wrong on the number
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I think he had everyone going for a minute. No one has enough time to look at everyones post and decide if they're a 'Master DJ' or 'Senior DJ'.

Pook's posts usually contain significant grammatical errors. Until this is corrected, I recommend holding His Worshipfulness back a grade.
Just kidding, of course. I have a lot of respect for the Pookster.

I'm glad to see a veteran still hanging around. How are you Dee-Zy?Originally posted by Dee-Zy
I'm still master Don Juan.
That's all what matters

Ranking posters has been a legitimate request to Allen for a long time. Remember, a person reaching a Master Don Juan status just because he keeps reposting the word "bump" until he hits post # 110 (or something)?
I don't want to start that "Back in our days..." stuff again. But when I started, people post great ideas and no personal attacks.
I applaud DJ Forum's pioneers who are still hanging in there and enduring occasional charades that we have here.
Thanks for "hearing" me out.

I'm kinda pissed at how the board turned out. Things change - but I don't think the board changed for the best. This is just my MO though, I have been wrong and I can be wrong. No offense to anybody - that's just how I feel.
We should get a petition to pressure Allen to go back and convince the Ol' timers to come back.
