Bottom line Band is cool for some people and not for others, Viper and Adone stop b*tching like two old ladies. To the quiet guy don't give a f*ck and start being more social and get practice.
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.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Well, that's your opinion about it, but overall, "cool" implies that YOU like something, in other words, some people might think something is cool, but other people might not think that thing is cool, it's not something that's percieved by something that people generally like and if it is, well, screw being cool, I'm good with being an individual and I'm not going to do something I don't like, just to be perceived as cool by other people.Originally posted by Adone
Saying "It's cool" implies that it's something considered "OK" by most people (since something's "coolness" is given by how many people like it). You should have said "In my opinion, it's not bad". I don't want to be anal about this (although I'm actually being), but I hate when someone thinks he's right although he's obviously not.
In what way was I an asshòle in my first post?
And flabbergasped has just made a stupid post, which does nothing to contribute to the topic, big surprise? Not really. You guys just have to learn to ACCEPT when you're wrong. You can't possibly be right, because if you're definition of cool, is what's generally considered cool by the majority, you've been thinking incorrectly. If that was the definition of cool, people would use the word much differently.Originally posted by Flabbergasped?
Viper has invaded this thread.
Again.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

This is pathetic.
Another 'Viper vs. The anti-vipers' thread. Why can't you guys just give it a break? (Remember that old quote? 'Discussion forum arguments are like the special olympics; win or lose, in the end you're all retards.' I apologise to all the retards out there). The whole second page of this thread is about 'band is cool/gay'. Worst of all, this isn't the first time this topic has appeared. Just leave it.
Would a real Don Juan care about what somebody types on a message board? Didn't think so.
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.
