"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.

"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.

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.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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'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.

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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

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:

"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.
