I miss him so much, bros. Spaz and that metro sexual made this forum worthwhile for years

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.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
I think @BeExcellent might remember his name. Maybe Guru1000??? If its the same guy, he claimed to schedule 3 dates at the same place at the same time. Last I heard he was married now. I'm certain he had an alias and he had conversations with himself using another alias as well. enormous ego and highly narcissistic.I can't remember the other guy's name, but he was epic, too.
Unabashedly on steroids, lived in NYC, ninja always trolled him
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Agreed on posters growing and changing over the decades. I think SS is a pit stop for single dudes looking to find the one to settle down with.Lol. Yeah those guys were OG. Guru I have not talked to in a while but he had gotten interested in someone (this about 18 months or so ago give or take). I'll look him up sometime after the New Year.
Spaz was funny. Poon King was Poon King. BigNeil was a mess (but in an entertaining way)....
I miss @fastlife because he had a great perspective & plenty of moxy. Cool dude. Not banned but probably got on with life.
Alot happens around here over a decade. Guys grow & change, show up, hold court, move on.
I also miss @Atom Smasher but he is happily doing the married thing.
RichardtheFrog was more into hookers than GM32.RichardTheFrog..........lol, the dude who wanted to stretch his bones so he was taller. He also had some bionic p0rn star sized cahk.
And sometimes we come back…Agreed on posters growing and changing over the decades. I think SS is a pit stop for single dudes looking to find the one to settle down with.
Unless you’re one of the few that figured out the playboy path![]()
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.
I recall David DeAngelo(and no doubt many others)mentioning back in the day: "Too many guys get with a chick, deceive themselves into believing that they've achieved their happily ever after, then cease doing what progressed them to begin with"And sometimes we come back…
He is one of my favorites and he is totally rightI recall David DeAngelo(and no doubt many others)mentioning back in the day: "Too many guys get with a chick, deceive themselves into believing that they've achieved their happily ever after, then cease doing what progressed them to begin with"
This remains just as true today
Don't sweat it, hoss... In a similar fashion, lots of guys become trapped in middle-management, after that first taste of slightly above minimum wage pay prompts them to think "I've made it!!!" Reality proves to be a merciless b-tch a few years later, when they recognize their salary isn't rising and they've got less and less influence within the corporation, even as some of their former colleagues have moved up the ladderIn my case i think i got bored with my life and my wife. Thats on me for not realizing if before i blew it up though

Nailed it. He was flamboyant for my taste, but he helped a lot of guys. Great poster
BigNeil was one my favorite blowhards! Always posting pics of girls he was with. Always taking them on nice trips, out to nice dinners.
He was always good for a laugh. Unabashedly got prostitutes, which was different, if nothing else.
RichardTheFrog..........lol, the dude who wanted to stretch his bones so he was taller. He also had some bionic p0rn star sized cahk.
Also unabashedly got prosties.
Poon_King???? always told the brutal truth about women. Jaded. Hard to take sometimes, pizzed off a ton of posters. Didn't sugarcoat anything. He was one of the greatest to ever be banned.
One of the best
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.
Another great@The Duke
Can’t forget @PlayHerMan as one of the greats to get banned
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
