"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.

I wish there were some kind of explanation for the reputation system. Mine says I'm "off the scale" is that good or bad?
 

"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.

looks alot like bb.com forums
 

"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.

Looks like the bodybuilding.com forum

Didn't mind the old design but this is fine.

Also like the bodybuilding.com forum's the rep system. I hated it. People will be afraid to post how they really feel about topics when someone with a higher rep can neg them into nothing. People spamming posts of useless crap in hopes someone + reps them. Or begging for reps. Abuse of the rep system and so forth.

I like how i knew who the good posters were from reading the forums based on feedback. Not on some green e-peen they have. So now someone with massive reps here will be a virgin that dosent go out and actually get laid. I liked quality content not quanity feedback from kiss asses.

Now someone can neg rep me for speaking my mind. I dont like it honestly.
Good points, the "rep" system is a joke especially here where chumps far outweigh posters who actually have a clue. Its just going to give the current AFCs a platform to continue parroting bollocks because those who actually put stock into a "reputation" system will be to worried to call them out.

So will I be looking for posters with a negative reputation to give me help if and when I need advice? Probably.

To be worried about pissing off the mainstream is EXACTLY what this place doesnt need. I dont care but you can bet your ass others will.

It will work at masf where good advice outweighs the mainstream (bad), but here I would be skeptical.


Edit: Ok I just negative repped frivolous, how many of these stupid things do we get a day?

Hey all. I don't like the forum look and the color options at all. I liked the last one because it was flat colored and didn't try to fake being 3d like this new one does (using the Tigra skin or whatever). I do like the rep system that seems like a cool option. Other then that lack of good skins it's just dandy!

i really enjoy the quick reply and i really like being able to get online no matter how many users are here :)
however i didnt remember my password and asked for it several times yesterday . it kept sending me emails saying it was reset and would be sent to me, but wasnt yesterday. however today as soon as i asked for it to be reset, it was emailed right then.
guess sometimes there are gliches in new things for a bit.
 

"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.

This forum does allow for more discrete viewing which is a real advantage if you want to sneak a peak at work. Not that the girl wasn't an HB9 or so on the screen.

Now this site is just like the sports site I read daily or bodybuilding as well.

Not too bad, seems to load alot faster. ASF needs to do something like this as it loads very slowly.

Yeah, and even though I like the fresher format it looks like I'm on some type of MySpace site trolling for teenie-boppers. :nervous:

DISLIKE: There's no date on the messages.
 

"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.

forget the rep system it will just be a joke within weeks. I really dislike taking the posters age off. Especially considering how bad the youngsters would spam the mature mans forum as of recent. I dont want advice from 16yr old virgins, who have high rep because they have too much free time.

The layout is nicer though and the quick reply helps.

I think this is the best advice ronny boy offered on this site to date!:yes: Just joking ronny.

The only thing I don't like is the new "rolleyes" emoticon - the eyes are not rolled that much and it is blue. A blue rolleyes emoticon?? Pffft, who has ever heard of such a thing!

And one last thing...Free PRL!
 

"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.
