Suggestion for HS mods

"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 noticed tonight that there were some threads closed in the High School section of the board. This seems to be happening a lot more lately. Clearly you aren't going to listen if I tell you not to close them, but here's a suggestion that I hope you won't take the wrong way.

Wouldn't it be more effective to explain WHY you are closing them instead of just doing it? In one thread the only comment a moderator made was "search" before closing it. Another thread had no comments, just a little lock on it.

A couple of sentences would go a lot farther towards cutting down on useless threads than just mass lockdowns.

"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.
