"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Too many plenty of fish threads

I don't mean to be condescending, but plenty of fish threads are starting to be too common.
I understand times are changing and a lot of people hook up online, but can we get back to self improvement and motivation?

Or a good solution would be a online dating board, so thoes of us who don't frequent thoes sites can enjoy the board too?
Thanks

"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.

Reading comprehension much? He's not saying POF threads are bad, he just wants a separate forum so people who don't use POF don't have to sift through threads that aren't relevant to them. I agree with the OP

op raises a fair point, online dating, POF isnt going to go away, a sub forum might be worth exploring to 'keep it tidy' so to speak
 

"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.

They're more amusing than the redundant "I texted and called her everyday for a week with no response, what next?" nonsense that was consuming the forums.

POF (and online dating) is quickly becoming the new bar scene of the 21st century. Not a total replacement -- but a mainstream method for anyone and everyone to reach out and hook up. With the amount of popularity it's gained in just the past few years, I can't imagine what the online scene will be like in a few more years if the snowball keeps rolling.

Oh yes!

Of course online dating is the new bar scene. Women have to soak up lots of male attention somewhere! In about 2020, the bar scene is gonna be small as hell. Sadly, those sites favor women just like the bars and clubs do. In other words, men do most of the paying.

At least if the bar scene becomes obsolete, the buy me a drink routine will be remembered and cherished by women everywhere.

A woman's vagina and body is a business.

Judge nismo rules that we have an Online dating sub forum here!

Inside her mind
When it's 2020

You won't need online dating or women, you'll have virtual reality have sex with your "virtual doll"

Their already club's that carter to this.

By 2020 technology should be up to par where you can have "std/hiv" virtual sex with your doll. We got 3D now all you have to do is make it feel "real"

:nervous:
