"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.

DJ is about self-improvement. You might not reach TRUE DJism until you reach your 30s. Some might bloom a little early (mid to late 20s).
I know...I know...it sucks. But that's life.
We all have our starting levels. (It's good to know everyone else sucks too:D)

Though if some ideas about rebirth are true perhaps we're all a lot older than we give ourselves credit for ;)
 

"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.

Wherever I am.
For the longest time I was oblivious to this system, it was really iqqi that brought it to my attention.

At first the idea seemed a little silly, but I have grown to appreciate one particular facet of this and that is the ability to see which of your posts got repped. It helps you get a better grasp of what people truly resonate with. In this regard, the responses have been surprising to say the least.

I do have one request for the mods here. Would it be possible to see your entire rep history (or at least more than the last 5 reps)?

Is there any way to change your rank? Back on page 1 flippinfreak is a Registered User with 924 posts. Anyway we can drop the Master Don Juan title and just give it to people with high rep and make everybody else Registered User? Frankly I'd rather be a Registered User until I step up my game.

As for rep, I've noticed a great deal of people have recently added more squares. Is it now easier to get a higher reputation or is it simply that more people are now playing the reputation game?

Yes we reviewed the dormant reputation system a couple months back, and made some changes.

Here is how it stands:

-Start with 1 point of rep altering power.
-Gain 1 point of rep altering power per 73 days as a member.
-Gain 1 point of rep altering power per 100 points.
-Must have 40 posts before your rep points count on others.
-You get a new dark green dot below your name every 100 points. (100 points = 2 dots)
-A new light green dot after that for every 200 points, up to 5 dark and 6 light dots. (1500 points = 11 dots)
Aside from that, it has been used more often recently and we encourage each other to use it. If you like what someone has written, send them some rep points. The Rep button is in the bottom left corner of each post.

cheers bro
 

"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.
