"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.

Perhaps we need a Council of Elders

The problems would be, who should we put up there? How would we decide it? I'm sure everyone would have a different opinion after the first 3 or 4 obvious choices. Then another problem would be, the most obvious choices, i.e. Pook.... they don't post anymore.
Maybe if we asked really really nice we could get Mystery to register here and he could be the alph/omega leader of the council. :rolleyes: :cheer:

Yet another issue: Once this so called council was created, the members would be prime targets for trolls and people who just disagree with everything. They'd challenge anything the council says, and constantly bash them.
When a council member speaks, he will not be able to be challenged by non-council members. Only another member of the council could raise a counter point.

The whole point is to have a group of people who would be the final word on any issue, right? Don't we have the DJ Bible for that?
Yes, but life is always evolving. The bible, sacred as it is, is a dead text, much like the real bible.

This is why Jedi dont have a bible. They live in the moment, and they have a wise council to advise on current issues.
 

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

How about we have a rule that you're only allowed to speak while holding the conch shell?

It was Lord of the Rings. Yeah, we're all super-dorks here.
Ha! You only think you are. I'm going to out-dork you by pointing out it was actually Lord of the Flies.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

The :rolleyes: symbol is an indication of sarcasm.

LOL yeah, enough with the star wars jokes. Eh, I think we are just fine without a council. If you want advice from a particular person that still posts, just pm them.
Yes, I get pm'd with questions. The answers I give there I take more seriously.

All great societies need a council to debate and decide on important matters.

I knew what it was as soon as I read it.

Unfortunately...

:nervous:
 

"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.
