"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.

How would I go about finding a list of all the pron sites? Or as many as I can find.

I'm basically fed up with it and would like to put as many as I can on a block list. I got Net Nanny and CyberSitter in hopes of getting the lists off them, but no luck (I cannot copy them, only view) and those programs are resource hogs.

Anyone know of any list sites? Or where I could get a list of such a thing?
 

"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.

Most pornography storage is hosted by a company called XXX Storage. I would say they probably store 75% of the pornography on the Internet. A friend of mine in Oklahoma used to be drinking buddies with the owner.

Find the IP ranges XXX storage owns, and block them.

Why is it such a huge issue? I use my computer virtually every day and have little to no bothers with porn sites... what sort of internet sites are you visiting that push these onto your screen?

I know what your doing and thats fine.


I tried putting a filter for my own displeasure but some how my desires always urged me to hack it or find a way around it.

Years ago I gave up on filters and I learned I can't depend on them to protect me. Its a sad reality we live in with internet so easily accessible. I think from all these years, accountability is the best route.

Only one internet computer in the house, or goin to library or campus for internet usage. One computer in an open large family room, opened windows.
 

"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.

Well, bbestar you should know that its alot easier staying away from porn if you do not see it. Once the first image shows up, its like a cascade.

wow are you serious? that is the most retarded thing I've heard. Do your research and stop spreading BS. Goes to show you can't trust anything people say on the net.

actually, they were bought out by NationalNet, a bigger general purpose hosting firm. at one point they had datacenters in San Jose, Dallas, Tulsa, and Sherman (which is also in Tx).

the 75% figure is definitely a bit high (2nd hand information from the buddy of mine) but i would say they are or used to be one of the bigger players. their smallest customer ran about 50tb of bandwidth useage a month.

I had my buddy Clay tell Jeff (the owner) about the server we bought for work, a Sun Ultra Enterprise 4000, with a pricetag of $45,000. Jeff said his Sun units ran around $95K a pop.

Yeah, I can just imagine a drunk guy at the bar claiming his company stores 75% of porn on the planet! :crackup: :crackup: :cheer:

I haven't stroken it since december. Mostly because I'm either working, or busy, or working out or socializing.

When I get to bed I just fall asleep to get some rest for the day after.

So, without sounding negative: "getting a life" worked for me. :) Or getting busy.
