However giving logical reasons to the cyberdaters/chicks/old chicks/society guard poodles and garden variety homos here is about as productive as poking matches in poo.
Thanks man!
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Thanks man!KarmaSutra said:I concur you look to be insightful and can make productive contributions to the forum. You're on my short list brother.
It pisses me off as well when kids (Fvcking Friv) try to shove thier inane babble in our faces as gospel.
Oh, and I'm impressed that you've not had one grammatical error thus far (Sorry I'm a stickler for grammar) Good job :yes:
I agree with you.Friendly Otter said:Are limits and standards "intolerant"? That comment is actually an example of why we need separate forums for the age groups. Kids don't understand why they are treated like kids; teenagers don't understand why they are treated as teenagers. We 25+ do understand.
Especially in a forum like this one, threads would easily be swamped by posts from immature teenagers, and the older posters would leave.
There are always exceptions to the rule. From my perspective, I believe that if a "mature man" asks for advice about his teenager son or if he asks about how to date women under 25, then the "non-mature man" can probably give as good of an advice as anyone.comic_relief said:agreed and the problem that I have with the mature man's forum is that they do delete the material that is posted by younger members on topics that are not mature topics but are in there by sheer luck because the main forum gets rid of the good topics very quickly. One day a post is here and the next it is gone.
Rollo's plate theory post is great. Westcoasters and LIT's posts are awesome.
Here are some very nice posts that I can't post in and have an intelligent response to.

Thats merely on the first page. If we go further back I am sure that I can find dozens of posts that I would love to comment on and those three can be put all age groups.
Am I complaining? YES! An entire age group of young men are being thrown away from even asking questions to the posts because of a inane age limit. I don't know. I just think that this forum is becoming intolerant. I remember when Paradox and Allen were the only mods and teenagers were allowed to post. Player_Supreme, PRL, and Westcoaster were all saying they wanted me to post more. I just feel like this is very troubling to me.

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.
