I wish there were some kind of explanation for the reputation system. Mine says I'm "off the scale" is that good or bad?
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.
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.
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.
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.Weak_Game said: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.
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.
i really liked the age discription also, however alot of folks just lied on it, so sometimes it wasnt so useful.:rockon:Tomatoes said:Doesnt display age with location anymore...i always found that usefull.=
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:Ricky said: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.....
