"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.

Since there are no political threads allowed anywhere on the site because they usually get out of hand and everyone starts flaming each other(it is the reason isnt it?), why not just make a political "anything else" sub-forum where people can come and b1tch at each other all they want?
It will make mods' lives easier cause they wont have to close numerous threads, members will have a place to discuss politics, and it wont bother anyone who doesnt want to participate.

Just a thought. :cool:
 

"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.

Members already do have a place to discuss politics and any variation thereof. Another site.

What's with this new fad??

Let's make a financial forum!
Let's make a political forum!
Let's make a pimp forum!
Let's make a flame forum!
Let's make an expert forum!

This is a dumb suggestion, there are a lot of forums that deal with politics. It doesn't take a Don Juan to understand politics...

Let's make a shut the **** up forum just for you.

Diablo: Sure there are other sites,but anything else forum here is full of inane threads. I bet lot of people stop coming to these forums just because nothing worthwhile is going on.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Keep this on a professional level, not a personal one.

I'll do anything you want if your wish is granted (political forum was made)
In the meantime, your suggestion is stupid, and a political forum will never be made on sosuave.

Politic threads = Lots of views and replies
Lots of views and replies = lots of bandwith req
Lots of bandwith req = Lots of money
Lots of money = No more free forum


We don't want that, now do we?

That makes sense. I forgot that there are no ad banners on this site. Then yeah, it makes no sense to allow political threads cost-wise.

But eventually this site will grow to few dozen thousand members,so it wont be free either way :(

The site, from my understanding, stabelizes and pays for itself through the Book and adds on the front page[they arn't big flashy pop-ups, but in the tips you'll find one every now and then advertising David DeAngelo or someone.]

Just be happy everything is dating related and we don't have those stupid VOTE BUSH and VOTE KERRY.pop-ups.

If you are intrested in politics check out http://fundrace.org/ It tells you who donated in your area or wherever by adress or zipcode... pretty neat.

Anyway I do think this can be locked?
