I just wonder about that, seems pointless to me. Like when guys censor girls names as "HB7" and even hide their own real names. Do these guys honestly think that if they tell you a girls name is Marissa, somebody is actually going to know who that SPECIFIC Marissa you approached is? I mean even if they knew what state or country you lived, there's no way they could really boil it down to THAT specific girl, especially with no last names. Marissa is a very common name and the person would have to go through millions of Marissa's and still he wouldn't know who that exact Marissa was. Point is you give a girls name on a forum, an online rapist or something wouldn't be able to find her. Hiding girls names is rather pointless.
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Say why do guys sometimes 'censor' girls names in FRs?

"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 if somebody says HB7 i can see it, ut if somebody says marissa it could be and ugly marrissa or a hot one. More descriptive. And I know Marrissa, dont even think about it.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Who knows, maybe that "Marissa" shows up and reads the post.
It's happened before.

Couple reasons:
1. Like navy said, HBx is a lot more interesting to the rest of us because it's a common nomenclature we all understand.
2. Some post can get very specific, moreso if it's about an LTR. You don't want the girl or someone who knows her stumbling on to the site and seeing this, however unlikey that might seem. My ex was recently on my computer and wanted to log into facebook. I later realized that she might have noticed "fa...stseduction.com".

If I remember rightly, it happened to Mystery, hence the creation of Mystery's lounge.
Also, don't lose any sleep over it flower.

"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.

yeah, but this was when he was not widely known and charged $300/400 a workshop. His fee is somewhere in the thousands now.
