"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.

- Thread starter MsThang
- Start date
"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.
Well aren't you a tricky little girl.Originally posted by MsThang
Just because the website belongs to her doesn't mean it's me. I won't tell you yet because I want you to be honest(But I will, I promise.)
I'm still keeping with my statement

Hmmm.... I stand corrected. Man, they don't even look like the same person!
By the way, I hope the poor girls don't find out what's being said about them - they'll probably be depressed for a month, knowing how sensitive women are about looks.
First off I would say that you can't judge any type of book by their cover. I.E. now it may seem more natural to assume a hot girl is a *****, whereas alot of less hot girls are every bit as *****y.
I am jaded right now, but that is because too many girls are disappointing me once I get to know them.
I think I am going to base more on a girls job and IQ. It's not gold digging, it's just that I hope to find a bit better mental stability.

Ms. Thang, I bet my life on it that you are the one on the far right. You posted your pic here before, and that is the chick that resembles you the most.
"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.

These threads blow big monkey penis. Cut it out already with the "Rate my picture" ****. If you are soo insecure about your appearance that you have to ask people's opinions over the internet, then shoot yourself.
Okay, not really... but seriously, cut it out.

Someone I actually remember from the good ole days.
I seem to remember her being a red head.
My guess is the second from the right.
Could be a trick question, maybe it's none of them.
She is or was a red head that's all I remember.
I think it's time for dinner. later
Nice job, and there we have it. What was your username before?
In truth this is actually an argument between me and my friend about the girl on the far left. I think she's a monstrous beast and he used to date her. Sorry to be so devious but I wanted as little bias as possible because we have a bet going
Thanks for your input, though, guys."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.

You're not too shabby, MsThang.
But I've got penkitten now. You'll have to settle for one of the other guys.
Oh, right, I see how it is.Originally posted by Giovanni Casanova

Excuse me a minute. *sniff*In any case, because you were all such good sports here is a real picture of me:
Don't drool too hard, guys, I'm taken...

Dude! That b!tch-beast in the pic looks pretty similar to Jariel's mom. I gave her the sausage somethin fierce.Originally posted by MsThang

Other then that, they are mostly ok looking girls. I wouldn't pursue any of them with full effort, but I wouldn't feel ashamed if my friends found out I had gotten with them. (except far left

Yowza....
It appears that MsThang is the winner.
I think she would look better without glasses. Just my opinion, though.

Senior Don Juan
You'd be the prettiest of all four girls if you lose the glasses and use some of those.
I have a feeling she said it was her just to keep things going for the other girls as well. I mean, the replies were still coming, so why did she suddenly decide to say it's her?
Nah, it's not her. I could be wrong.
