"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.

"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.

I so concur with that. :cheer:jt the azn said:
I kind of like how little this board changes. I started posting here in '02 (under a different user name. McKindley, for anyone who cares. I got a new user name when I realized I was no longer an AFC and all those old posts were pretty AFC), and there's only been one huge overhaul in that time that I can remember. It used to have a picture of a cute girl at the top somewhere from what I remember.
Avatars are those things where you put up a picture under your name, right? If so, I'm not for it. I like everyone's faceless silly names. Something about seeing someone's silly online handle and then a picture of them (or worse, a picture of a mystical dragon or something that somehow is related to their personality) turns me off. If you're picture is of anything Lord of the Rings related I can't take your advice seriously, even if it's really good advice.
I do wish there was some sort of thing under a person's name (I guess this is the rep thing that is talked of?) that would let me know what the quality of the poster's advice is. A way to vote for good posters and against bad posters would be cool. Maybe when a mod or a well respected poster votes for your advice it counts more (like that guy who's name is the name of a guy from one of those giant Ayn Rand novels. His vote should count double because his advice is right on most of the time). Right now when I see someone's name at best I can remember seeing it before, but seldom can I remember if they said something I liked that made me remember the name, or something really stupid.

Avatars are annoying and clutter the board!! Do not clutter the board!

Another idea I just had was having a log sub-forum
A place for logs. I think it's great for people to keep public logs of their progress but not so great for them to be scattered everywhere.
I edited my original post to add in the idea.

Yo Moderators,
WHATEVER you do, please do not change "the look" of the board by making things smaller, or by making the boxes (or whatever) a different color.
One of the COSMETIC things I appreciate the most about this place is how viewer friendly, and easily navigated that this Forum is. All you have to do is look at some other sites, and you will see how darkly-colored the screens are, how annoying the navigation is, and how unnecessarily small some of the fonts are.
Y'all ASKED, so I'm tellin' ya'...lol.
Peace...SUNday.

VU did you know that this board has 6 choices for color scheme and format?
The bottom left corner of each page has a drop box where you can pick your theme. I'm currently using PowerBlue. So uh "the look" can be changed
But if you like it the way it is you don't have to do anything.

:crackup: Yo Maxtro,
No, I actually never paid attention to that...I guess it's because I DID like it the way it is. I guess the "good soldiers" here at SoSuave headquarters GOT IT RIGHT (for me, at least) the FIRST time. lol
Thanks, dude.

For those interested, the "Browner" scheme is the old board color.
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Those words are censored because the immature people would constantly use them making this place trash. If I open up a new thread and see "**** and then she ****" I immediately close it because I know there is nothing of value.

There should be a forum of only Field Reports, possibly split up into HS and 18+.
Also, it'd be cool to have a forum that discussed actual seduction methods (MM, GWM, etc.)
Something that'd be nice would be to split up the existing forums into categories, eg. Health and Fitness having subforums like "workout logs", "health related questions", "general health tips", "workout routines", "diets", etc.
Just my 2 cents.

Eliminate the Mature and High School Forum. The Mature Forum is depressing. The High School Forum is disturbing. Anybody can be anything on the Net. I suspect that at least 50% of those in the Mature Forum are in High School and 50% in the High School Forum have more hair on their back than on their heads. Add a travel forum.

instead of asterisks, there could be a filter that changes the words to harmless words. They have this on the something awful forums and its a lot easier on the eyes to see "gently caress" rather than "fvck".HandyAndy said:
also, i strongly support a rating or rep system. otherwise, how can you have any idea of the validity of someones advice?
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
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.
