"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

i think the ratings should be more systematic. i have seen the 4/5 stars on the bible posts sometimes, but i think it should be more systematic. every post should be rated by mods from no star useless post to 5 stars must-read star. it helps to see which are good to read and which one to stay away from.

i think also the message icon should be more expressive and set up by the mods. joking post -> joking smilie. bad racist post -> hands down. f*cked up guy -> weird smiley...

now, i don't know if it is technically possible. or if they have enough time rating all this posts. there should be more mods then or "sub-mods" that do this business of rating.

---> all of this would tell the "i-don't-have-a-clue" guys or the crazy ones that they are taking the wrong path. what do u think of this ?
 

"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.

Nah, I don't believe our lazy mods will be up to this job...






Honestly it's too much work to do. There's so much new posts and mods can't go and spend the whole day reading all the new posts and think rating for them.

Your idea isn't bad though. I agree all the forums are filled with crap and it can be really hard to find anoything usefull these days.
I don't even think anyone even MAKES good posts anymore.
Ok. there's few guys that make some brilliant posts but the glory of finding something new along experimentation is all gone forever from here.
People used to be excited and actually went there and tried things out and were more open minded to do some own research too.

True! It's easier just to ban the complaining miscreants.

"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.
