"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

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.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

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.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

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
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.
