"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

It still looks kinda crappy compared to what kind of a forum can be found within it...
And that's a GOOD thing.
Not too fancy to attract people with Great web design.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
It BURNS!!! MY EYESSSSS!!!

I liked the light text on darker background.

To quote Maddox:

I've chosen a black background for most of my text because it's easier on the eyes than staring at a white screen. Think about it: your monitor is not a piece of paper, no matter how hard you try to make it one. Staring at a white background while you read is like staring at a light bulb (don't believe me? Try turning off the lights next time you use a word processor). Would you stare at a light bulb for hours at a time? Not if you want to keep your vision.

Also, I feel less comfortable looking at it when others are around (ie at work) because it stands out a lot more.

Well I think we have to get used to it. Its not like anything posted on the suggestion forum, even good suggestions, are ever taken into consideration.

Allen has the ****tiest policy on swear words. Do you actually beleive that having the ****tiest frontpage ever will make him sad? Me thinks no.
 

"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.

The consensus seems to be that it is uncomfortable for most readers.

Before you saw it and it felt REAL, like the site was REALLY trying to teach you something.

Now it feels like it's trying to sell you on some gimmick.

The old site was better! As said, this new one looks like other "common" web sites.

I got surprised when I saw the new format.

A very "underground" web page would be much more interesting and it would fit better to this kind of site!

Ah, well, it's not like I ever go there anyway. But this is pretty bad.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

I've been designing web-sites since I was 15 years old, and I'll tell you staight up, the design is probably the worst I've ever seen on a site with this much traffic, wtf??

In the HTML source it says:
<meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
Heh, man you guys need a real designer, you can't make up the lack of talent with a sh!tty program like Frontpage. :rolleyes:

AHahahahah :D

I'm still thinking it's GOOD to have a crappy site there so it doesn't attract that much newbies... our forums are flooded already.

You guys got it all wrong. From what I understand the reason for changing the home page was to make it more attractive to the masses so that it could generate more revenue. This makes sense.

The fact is that most Net neophytes will gravitate to a more polished looking, generic site than one that reminds them of hackers and pirates which the original page probably did. That original "underground" look was great for all of us that have been here for a while and understand the content there in.

However, for the AFC noob coming on board, they seem to need a more "user friendly" type site. What would be more attractive to them than seeing some stereotypical, Mathew Lesko looking, AFC type guy getting kissed on the cheek by any girl?

Understand that the home page does not necessarily represent the content nor the existing members, it's trying to attract guys that would benefit from the site's content and the experience of the existing members. More noob throughput could mean additional sponsorship (funds) for the site.

Given that, the home page still leaves a lot to be desired but it is serving a specific purpose.

Design

I wouldn't call that professional looking at all. My only questions is why didn't they just use the theme from the forum. This forum design is great, just use it.

That way they will actually match too, instead of them looking like two differntet websites.

"Veni, vini, vici" - Julius Caesar
 

"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.
