"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.

In all fairness the men seemed to be about 50% or more reasonable, it was a minority of men and all the women that started shrieking like harpies.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Nice post!!

FYI... There's already a Mr.Positive, and a Mr.P, over on loveshack. One seems to lack intelligence, and the other's a major chump.

So I signed up as BladeSteel.
Welcome to the onslaught BladeSteel.

What amazes me is looking at the post counts of a LOT of the members who are the quickest responders. Sweet Mother Mary, they must average 8,000 posts! With the notable exception of FRANCISCO, most members here don't post even half as much. When do they find time to do anything else?

And look at yourselves, grown men planning "assualts" on another online forum. It's like the sharks Vs. The Jets (perhaps less gay...) Have you honestly nothing more productive to do with your time?

I'm all for helping others, but 1) They don't want it and 2) We've got enough guys that need help here.
Let the record show I made an attempt to inject some much needed sanity to this effort before people dived in. It is in all likelihood a fools errand, and of course you cannot teach those unwilling to learn, but who's doing the learning here, LS members or SS members?

While I seriously doubt anyone will make any converts there, with post counts as high as they are there, try to look at this in perspective. Notice how quickly the LS guys are to default to identifying with the woman? Notice how ready they are to redefine their masculinity to accommodate them. Even in relative anonymity they assume the feminine by default. Even just making a casual observation about women is presumed to be an attack and met with accusations of 'typical misogyny'.

I don't think some "invasion" of LS is in anyway useful to change anyone's mind over there, however, it's good to see the rationales and observe the schemas these guys use and poke holes in them. We get a little too used to hearing our own voices here on SS. I think going over to LS and experiencing (flawed as they are) AFC rationales can be educational.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Brothers in Arms!


I have just returned from a RECON mission over @ Loveshack. I have surveyed the area, I have assessed the amount of troops we are up against-----and the odds are STACKED-----but NOT in our favor.

However, although they may have more people, WE, have more MANPOWER. WE have more weapons in OUR arsenal. WE have a greater will to WIN than they do.

And THIS is why we will emerge triumphant. To those who think this battle to be futile----I RESPECT your opinion. But it is NOT for ourselves alone that we fight, and it is NOT for ourselves alone that we expend this amount of energy---or MOBILIZE this large of a military strike.

No, we do this because many of our ASSes REMEMBER a time when we were on the edge, dangerously dangling between the life of being a MAN, or remaing a fukking WIMP.

Many of us remember how hard we searched----but did NOT find an answer. Not because the TRUTH wasn't "out there", but simply because NO ONE took the time to point the way!

How much further along, and how much MORE successful could some of us have been if we would have been given a hint, a clue, A DIRECTIVE toward true manhood EARLIER???

THIS is why we fight.

Sometimes, it's not possible, or even NECESSARY to save the whole goddamned WORLD.

Sometimes, it's just like TANK COMMANDER mr. elor has said (and I paraphrase):

"saving just ONE man from the hellish Matrix is enough".

Yes, sometimes its good enough just to successfully save PRIVATE "fukking" RYAN!!!

And as the air raid sirens wail in the background, the explosion of my first SMART BOMB can be heard:

Objective: The Status Trap: How GOOD men can protect themselves from the WRONG women!

Indeed, the WAR of Liberation has BEGUN...

March on.

Actually VU, even though that was a warning post, it makes me feel better because sometimes I can get the idea that it's ALL status. You're saying women can actually like the guy for who he is, and in addition to that, status could be a factor. So in a roundabout way your warning was more reassuring to me.

Anyway, back to the LS Bash.

Victory, THIS is why I and other brothers must at least TRY to help.

Standing from the sidelines doesn't do a goddamned thing.

Neither does: "I told you so."
Hell YES! :yes:


mr_elor said:
Yep, for me it's paying back a debt of gratitude.

I was saved by one guy, posting a link to here. Now I might have been the only guy he saved (he got a lot of **** over there for posting it), but imagine the good that's come from saving just me.

My friends are better, and enjoy my company more.
Girls get the honour of meeting this awesome me, enriching their lives.
I will save a few guys I know along the way who can carry this all on.

Again, if I save just one poor guy, it'll been worth it.
And Hell YES-----AGAIN!

After all, this is just the Internet, NOT even face to face conversations of persuasion. You have to ask yourself, if a man is unwilling to see ANY value in even attempting to reach out to others through the "ether"...what is the likelyhood that he will see any value in reaching out in "real life"?

But hey...let's all lighten up, guys...because this is just "the Internet", and the enemy can never REALLY kill us. Because we have more lives than a Country of BATTLE CATS----and we can ALWAYS "ressurect" ourselves to live to fight ANOTHER day!:rockon:

Well I'll pitch in a bit...

Ive taken on the roll of being the 'lost soul in need of help' in your A Harsh Truth thread... feel free to give a lost soul some guidance

--

That board is more like a Rec center than a place where people go to learn and improve themselves. It's not a place anyone with a strong personality could survive...
 

"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.

If you think Rogue and Woogle and others aren't also sosuave members, there is a chance you are deluded. I bet a few sosuavers lead double forum lives.

As far as me posting over there, the main difference would be that I wouldn't be flamed every time I said something because there are tons of more women over there, so they aren't as "threatening". Other than that, my advice would echo much of your guyses, without the "wow iqqi said something smart" follow ups. Haha. I said Guyses. Is there a correct way to spell that?

Oh, I am not over there because I don't have love shacky issues. I like it here. I like MEN.
I believe the plural of the possesive form of guy is guys'. Anyway this is the biggest crock of sh1t iqqi. I went over to LS and read and posted some and so far I haven't seen anyone flame bait there as bad as you do here. I was actually just thinking about that. I was expecting people to be really bad over there an so far I haven't seen anything that holds a candle to what you do on here.

I was just wondering when someone from here would go over there and post counter to the prevailing wisdom there as a woman to throw off suspicion. You know, kind of how we ocassionally have women posting as men here.

Yeah penkitten could do that and she wouldn't even be pretending to be a woman lol.

I was out golfing all afternoon. Shot a pitiful 92, but chipped one in for bird on 18. What did I miss? Which threads over there do I need to hit up? I'm going to continue my charade as "Hopeless AFC."

Wow...

I posted a thread earlier in the day over there, as of 15 minutes ago it had amassed 4 pages of love/hate replies.

I look again and the thread was deleted and my account banned.

Looks like confronting AFCs directly is not the way to go.

edit: funny.. the reason I was given for being banned was: Troll.

How could I be a troll with only two posts?

There's some dude Carhill over there that has been there for only one month and has amassed OVER 1,000 POSTS!!! Looks like he's challenging that Trialbyfire beeotch for highest number of posts/day. Who has time for that many posts? Fer crissakes....

I look again and the thread was deleted and my account banned.
:cuss:

Looks like the jig is up...oh well. I'm going to ride this one till the mf'ing wheels fall off!!:box:
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
