"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.

Thank you mods. I know it took awhile, but thank you for banning Luke Skywalker. Seriously.

Now all the good threads won't need to be locked. Awesome!!!
 

"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.

Wow, it actually happened. Needless to say, the board will not be the same without him. He was like our Anti-DJ mascot who stood against everything we tried to obtain.

So long Luke, may the force be with you

I'm sorry I couldn't resist :eek:

I already "miss" the little b@stard.

I only got to see his posts for a week since I just got back. I'm happy I didn't have to see the rest of them.

reads ALL his posts. Some were ultra conservative religious views, others were him saying that he won't cheat but he'd make a thread saying that he cheated (apparantly talking to another girl was cheating to him). He tried to give advice on girls when he's a admitted 30 some year old virgin that couldn't get a woman if his life depended on it. And finally, ppl would give him serious advice and he'd ignore them because he doesn't actually want to change.

Plus there's the serious possibility that he was a troll (though talk about maintaining an act).

My favorite: "Do not lose my virginity to another woman other than my girlfriend. That type of cheating is unacceptable"-Luke Skywalker
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

You've got to be pretty sick to pretend you're someone like Luke Skywalker.

Because he used sosuave.net as a blog to post about his masturbatory adventures with a fleshlight. Then he kept bringing up his BS religion to try and shame people here simply because he can't get laid. He's a fvcking loser. Maybe you like him??

Well,I have to admit I was surprised when I logged on to find that Luke had been banned. I didn't care about the bad advice he gave,I just got sick of hearing him talk about that fleshlight thing. I had never even heard of a fleshlight until I read his threads and replies. And even then,I didn't know what it was. So I went to wiki dictionary and looked it up. I already knew it was something sexual,just didn't know what it was. Well from wiki there was a link to another site,then another,then another,until there was an advertisement about it on a porn site,with a picture of a guy using it.

I almost THREW UP over my keyboard.

Why Luke felt the need to constantly talk about that thing....I don't know.

However,I am curious why he was finally banned. His fleshlight stories weren't anything new. He'd been telling them for a while. So my question is,"Why now?" What was the last straw?

Since this is a thread giving appreciation to the mods for banning hm,maybe one of them can answer.
