"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Hey,


when I signed up at the turn of the century, the forum was gold and black, and it clearly stated the founder was Allen Thompson. He even made posts and started threads.


I am wondering what happened to this said Allen Thompson?


Thanks,


Ryan.
 

"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.

Allen Thompson was a pseudonym of Donald Trump's for quite some time. He has released management of the site to the moderators since becoming president. We are currently engaged in an internal power struggle and will only be able to reply to your posts and complaints occasionally until the top dog surfaces.

I thought I was the only one who remembered the old-old format. My profile says I joined in 2008, but I had signed up under a similar username in early 2000. The good old days...

I thought the good ole days were back in 2008 when i joined haha. Site has pretty much gone to crap since the influx of 10x+ members. You used to be able to find good content on this site. It's mostly lost in the garbage we have now. Most of the good posters and critical thinkers and influencers are gone or rarely post anymore.

Glad I was able to be around for a short period time of the golden age.

The old days were the pioneering and defining days. Guys were trying to define what was happening and just beginning to devise ways to leverage it.

Things have gotten a lot worse out there in the world since then, and SS is just reflecting these times. Now we seem to be in the "OK, this is our reality. Now how do we deal with it?"

Every entity and movement devised by man has a "golden age" that is looked upon fondly, but we tend to romanticise those times as we pull out selective memories, especially because usually the golden age is not flooded with casual participants.

I suspect that some of the older pioneers actually finally met a good woman and settled down. There was no longer a need to be here since they found that needle in a haystack. Pook is probably walking around town with a baby in a papoose and pushing a stroller. ;)

I don't really think that, but I do suspect that the guys from the past found a decent woman. As I say, they are rare, but they do exist.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Agreed. This site helped me get alot better with women. taught me to start on that no non sense path. Most of the content now is about laying women, not about managing a good woman, maintaining a good relationship, and living a well balanced life which is what I learned when I joined the forum.

That s still there. It just gets buried by the tide. Actually I've enjoyed some of Allen's articles they seemed well written and pragmatic

As for pook his stuff is a little bit to philosophical for my liking I'm more a paint by numbers guy. But for his service to man I hope he s living on an island surrounded by Tahitian beauties
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
