Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Who do you actually respect here?

Everywhere you want to be.... I'm like a Visa card
With so many threads complaining about people being trolls, I just decided we should counter it with something more positive. Who do you actually respect on these boards? Who's advice do you generally trust or agree with?

In one of these troll threads, someone stated that everyone who has joined since 2006 is a troll. Well, I'm not a troll, so that's just not true. I know there are other new members here that are honest as well.

So, if you want to, mention some newer members that you respect as well. Maybe someone that you just feel is genuine.

Now I realize that this thread could go wrong, and just cause people to get big heads. If that happens, then mods, feel free to close or delete this thread as you see fit. Let's hope the people on these boards can handle a little praise without letting their egos get too big. *proceeds to hold breath*
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Maybe I should add this:

I'd would be best to limit this to users that post normally. No Pook praisers for instance. Yea, he was great and all, but we already know that. He doesn't post here anymore, and neither do some of the people mentioned in your post, SELF-MASTERY. They're all respected members, and I agree with you, but let's keep it to currently active members.
 

"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.

I like Rollo, Des, Vincent, a few of our good mods! And Ace Deserves some recognition for starting this thread. Also good idea for an edit I'm surprised no one has started another Pook Praising thread here already. :up:

I think the people I respect the most are the people who helped me out when I was first getting started. They really pulled me through a lot of hard times. I'll use their original accounts, most people should be able to know.

And then there's LikRetsam, he's a pretty sick dude.

Ace will you please shorten you sig. The unofficial rule is your sig can't be longer then your post. So if you choose to have a 10 line sig, you have to make a 10 line post.

Ok, it should be in compliance to a non-existant rule now. Lol, that's an unusual concept.

Keep it coming guys! We should be banded together as a community, not fighting each other over trolls!
 

"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.

He hardly ever posts anything useful, but seanchai is probably the smartest and most informed person in the Anything Else board.

I never read any of the tips or threads that aren't in H&F or AE, but I respect the posters that use proper spelling and grammar. I tend to think they know what they're talking about. I also respect most posters over age 25.

Oldies but goodies: Master of the Universe, Terminator911, BDG, and Anti-Dump

Self-Mastery (even though he's gruff), Francisco, PimpSicle, Vulpine, and KarmaSutra

And does anybody remeber JoeKerr?

(Ace and Self-Mastery, your sigs seriously did suck before you changed them.)

Also like Tomatoes. He sometimes asks wierd, rambling questions about what to do with some unimportant drama or other. But he's just a reasonably succesful guy (not a master PUA) who enjoys helping chumps.

(Oh, and all the Mods are Mods for good reason.)

It's usually people who post threads/info continuously, rather than just a one off post they make, so don't get annoyed if I don't mention you.

-Warboss Alex
-Jariel
-Pook
-A-Unit
-Vulpine
-Wyldfire
.........May add more if they come to mind, but those are the ones that stick out.
 

"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.

I have not been here long enough to have true respect for anybody but seeing this question paints a negative picture of this forum.
