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!
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Penkitten and I Are Getting Married

"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.

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

"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.

"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.

How fuggin AFC
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!

Gangster Of Love

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.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
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.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
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.
