"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.

Suggestion: Replace count system with post rating system...

No. Bad suggestion. Die.

I'd prefer a rating system to a post count system though. For instance, this message is practically worthless if not for this suggestion. Yet it's still included in the post count. I'd rather have people rate posts. There would be an Avg. (Post) Rating of 0 to 5 stars and how many posts were rated.

Is that understandable? I'm just thinking this up as I go.

By the way, I think the user rating system is also faulty as it doesn't really average the user's contributions to the community. It only averages the user's popularity amongst the community.

Each rated post must count towards the average user rating else a rating system will fail. Example:

SoSuave.com
Adminstrator

Registered: Genesis
Location: SoSuave.com
Avg. Post Rating: * * * * *
Posts Rated: 4,341,985

The asterisks would become graphical stars though. :)

Only the rated posts would count in the post rating. All other posts not rated would not count.
 

"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.

Basically, only the important posts count towards your post count. But there wouldn't be a post count! It would just be:

SoSuave.com
Adminstrator

Registered: Genesis
Location: SoSuave.com
Avg. Post Rating: * * * * *
Posts Rated: 4,341,985

Your info would just show how many of your posts were rated and the average post rating. You wouldn't be allowed to rate your own posts so cheating would be a little difficult.

This would also fix the ranking system so that the real Master Don Juans receive the title they EARNED instead of just getting 500 posts.

They have a similar post rating system on www.airliners.net. Each user has a respect rating (RR) under their screen name. The higher people rate your POSTS, the higher your RR.

i think what would make this a lot better would be if a poster was anonymous to the reader (option the poster could select) until the reader rated his post. that way newbies aren't rated so harshly and the old veterans dont get 5 stars for a stupid idea.

however, allen's not going to do any of it. what more could he want? people love it here :D.
 

"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.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact he doesn't like you? Maybe....
