"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.

And that, folks, is why we do NOT want avatars. Because if we had them, some dumba$$ would be posting 100 times a day with pictures like that beside their name that we would all be forced to see...over and over again.
To avoid that, all we need to do is make some rules about the avatars, and if they are broken, a person will get a warning, if it happens again, that person will be banned... simple.
New members should have a mandantory avatar that says "AFC"
This wont work because some of the NEWER people know more than some of the ppl with 500 odd posts etc... :rolleyes:

"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.

Hey everybody, I just happened to see this National Geographic article about the volcanic activity below Yellowstone Park in Wyoming. What do you think? Could this affect Old Faithful and the other natural geysers in the park?
Then all the unsuspecting fools think you're linking to a serious article and they go to read it and they get punked. Especially if they are trying to read that article at work or something.

It's also a good idea to know the link so that YOU don't get punked at work.

Ya know, the *funny* thing about the tubgirl pic is that her puzzy is blanked out so you won't get "offended." :)

Sort of like when TNT shows the Die Hard movies and you see Bruce Willis tear the bad guys limb from limb, impale them, shoot them, blow them to hell, and all that... and then where he is supposed to say, "Yippee Ki-Yay Mother F*cker" they have him say, "Yippie Ki-Yay Mister Falcon."

"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.

aaah tubegirl...brings back some sweet memories from junior high.;)
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

Ok, when can we expect it?!

:woo: :up:
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Because it looks bad. Trust me this site is so much better because we block out words like **** **** ******* **** ***** **** ***** and such.

Avatars will NOT kill b/w if you set a limit to lets say 20kb in size. I think that avatars would be a really nice attraction, but I'm not complaining if there arent, just think they would be nice;)
