Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

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.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

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.
 

"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.

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