i shared the drew love with many ; )Originally posted by Wyldfire
Drew...I was cleaning out my closet and found that dildo of yours. I got all teary-eyed reminiscing about how NeanderthalSupersoldier used to violate you with that thing back when he was trolling the hell out of the chat room. And since when did you tie up pen? You were MY biotch, dammit!
"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.
Penkitten and I Are Getting Married
- Thread starter Giovanni Casanova
- Start date
"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.

ty for sharing in our excitment!
we have lots of plans developing for our future.
weddings are kinda hard to plan and they seem expensive.
we are trying to plan well and not spend too much.
i would much rather have a cheaper wedding and a better honeymoon haha

"She's Out of Your League"
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.

Wlydfire, hard as it may be to believe; this thread isn't about you . So with that said. Butt out.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
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.

Just kidding. Dudes, that rocks!
Congrats! Let's meet up for a drink when you're both in the D before you're gone. I'll even buy you a round. As long as we don't talk about landlord/tenant stuff...
I third the Ooh la la. Enjoy!

On a joking side, this thread might have a chance of rivaling the fabled "Masturbation Thread" in terms on number of replies (especially since we have until December for the wedding!)
On a real side:
Can we expect to see both of you on the board from time to time?
And if not could I contact you sometime in the future if I need some advice? I always liked the advice both of you give.
Congrats again.

Hey congrats Gio and Pen. You guys are wise enough to handle anything that comes your way.
Wyld, I'm suprised at you for trying to put the kabosh on their big announcement. Don't be jealous Wyld you'll get married soon.

This is a happy thread!
In other words, I just finished deleting 2 full pages of snide remarks, sarcastic comments, and unwarranted "advice".
My finger hurts, so I'm going to say this one time only. If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all. All parties involved already know who they are - and if you keep it up, no matter how "innocuous" your "advice" is, it will be deleted. If you have a problem with this, tough. Nobody can keep you from posting in the thread, but realize that it's not about you. If people want to make it into a bickering session, then their thought-out and lengthy responses will just be deleted as soon as I get back to the thread.
This is not up for discussion!

Congratulations to both of you. Not very often one can find a person they are compatible enough to recognize the value. Wish the very best to you.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
