"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.

Well, not my posts, but I was just wondering about something. One of my favorite posters here was persistent exaction. He never made threads of his own, but he always had something spot-on to say, especially in the Mature Man forum.

I was just looking at the boards after a long absence, and I noticed that his posting wasn't around any more. Then I noticed that his username was gone - not banned, just erased. Then noticed that all of his posts were erased from every thread! If you do a search for his name (as a keyword) you can still find a few hundred instances of people quoting him and such, usually to say "right on", yet the posts they are quoting have all been erased, while the quotes are still there.

What gives with that? Did he nicely ask for all of his posts to be erased? I can't even see why: he never spoke about himself, and he never made giant essays like Pook that could be republished anywhere else. I just can't get my head around why anyone would want all of his posts erased, even him.
 

"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.

He was a mole from the clandestine government department of AFC propagation. (It's a widely-known secret that most people haven't heard about yet that governments function best when most of the population is AFC). He got the required info, and then disappeared.

Persistent exaction changed his username (somehow) to 'decades'. Search for that and you'll find his posts. :up:

He was a great poster and I searched for him too as you did only to find him deleted.

Some posters on just about any board you go to online are overly paranoid and have the forum completely delete them after they decide to stop posting.
