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'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.

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
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.

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.
