I felt left out before.
Ah well, any publicity is better than no publicity.
"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.
Whining About How Sosuave Mods Have Ruined Your Life Goes Here

"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.

Why the hell should we put our time and effort to post good stuff when you and Gio can't do the same AS MODERATORS, where you have an obligation to set an example? Practice what you preach.

Allen is the only one with the power to ban people. Obviously the owner of the site is just as incompetent as his moderators are.
VM, the point you are missing is that you CAN'T expect the members to post quality stuff if the goddamned moderators behave like 3rd graders, which is exactly what Gio does. And you are making excuses for him and then biotching at everyone else for behaving just like him. It is your responsibility as a moderator to be IMPARTIAL and FAIR and RESPONSIBLE. Stop making excuses for Gio when it's so obvious that his behavior sucks.
Allen doesn't spend much time reading stuff. Unfortunately, Gio was running to the moderator forum posting about how crowes insulted him. However, you can bet your sweet ass that Gio didn't include the part about HIM being an ass and instigator. Allen has no idea what Gio does and until one of the other mods clues him in he won't know.
"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.

And you're still here, as are 17k other members...
If you are serious, vote with your feet and leave, or set up your own website.
I'm going to work...
diablo or paradox...please let Allen know that Gio was instigating Crowes and he didn't deserve to be banned. I've NEVER seen crowes have problems with ANYONE the entire time I've been a member here. He wouldn't go off on Gio if Gio hadn't of started something, which he frequently does.

The last time I PMed him (as did many other members) about Gio, he did nothing. I guess it's time to start bombing his message box...
MetalFortress
Master Don Juan
Screw off. I'm going to stay here and put a roadblock in the path of all of the nazi bastards as long as they are still in charge.
"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.

Master Don Juan
Same. This board is not going to last if the nazi bastards are allowed to stay in charge.

You'd do a much better job than the idiots in charge right now. Hell, I'd be in favor of you taking over the admin spot, too. This place would go back to the glory days.

I swear, this place is turning into the internet equivalent of New Orleans. Except that the modship is even more incompetent than FEMA.

well, since this thread is now completely off topic anyway, maybe someone can explain what crowes did to get banned?
MetalFortress
Master Don Juan
Posted a thread to Gio. When it got moved to the Mod board (for review I guess) he posted a second one. Gio stealth edited it to make him look gay, and then locked the thread. Shortly thereafter, he was banned.

Apparently in the thread that crowes22 made he says:
directed at Gio...and Gio replied with:
I doubt crowes22 actually wrote that he wants to meet Gio...and besides, a thread asking to 'meet Gio' wouldn't warrant a ban...so, I think that's what Metal meant by "stealth edit"
MetalFortress
Master Don Juan
Yep. Stealth edits should still be possible within the first minute or two of a post being made. In fact, I'll test it on myself...
ED1: Stealth Edit... did it work?
ED2: Yep. Stealth editing can still be done.

"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.
