"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.

Damn it has been some time since I have been on here. Just haven't needed the ole DJ board in some time now.

All that aside I'm looking for opinions on a fashion site that I am working on. Let me know what you think.

"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.

thats really really good. the only thing i didnt like (besides feeling gay while viewing it) was when you hit back you had to wait for the little intro thing to load the page again. and the lines around the border looked a little sketchy. but man i wish i could make something like that. good job.

Hey:

Looks pretty good. I think having Paypal as your only option is a mistake though.
I feel you on the fraudulent credit cards, but can't you get some kind of secure payment method or something? Tons of other businesses allow credit cards, so I'd look into that. I'm not a huge online shopper, but I have used my credit card to pay for pretty much every online purchase I've ever made.

Not to mention that Paypal are idiots...many people have had problems with them, and that your customers will have to register with them, etc, which could lead to a potential sale falling through for those reasons. A credit card is so much easier.

Good luck,

Ryan

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I hear ya on the paypal being the only payment method...that part of the site really isnt my side of things but I will bring it up in my next discussion with the others. I know that we are trying to figure out the best way to take credit card payments over the site beyond paypal.

EDIT - just spoke with one of the partners, and since the website is hosted through Yahoo, yet incorporated in Canada there is a slight hangup on the credit card compatibility between the two. We are working on it tho.

We designed all of the jewelry. Some of the necklaces are made in house but most of the other jewelry construction is outsourced. It would just be uneconomical to buy the equipment required to make a lot of the jewelry.

Did you make that site solely in flash? Cause I can't it to load up.

Anyways, don't use mainly flash. Spider's can't read flash so it kinda f*cks opp your SEO.

The site is awesome, great work. But... any woman that pays $500 for a handbag needs to be shot in the head.

As long as it isn't my money, she can do whatever she wants with it. And in all actuality, $500 is nothing compared to some of the top echelon designer bags.

Centaurion - I'll get back to you on that.
 

“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.
