"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.

Why are some sections of this forum hidden?

I don't mean the moderators section - it's obvious as to why that's hidden - but other sections like the site feedback and suggestions one, the one about NLP and Speed Seduction (people even still post in that one occasionally!) and the success stories? I see no reason for them to be hidden, especially the site feedback and suggestions one. And it's not even as if these sections are hard to find either. Plus, they are still fully functional; they just don't appear on the main forum index.

Seems odd to me.
 

"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.

Speed Seduction: Wasn't popular enough

Success Stories: See above

Suggestions and Feedback: Kept getting the exact same suggestions for a while, then stuff turned into a flame war between members and even some members and moderators.

And so if it isn't popular enough, it needs to be hidden? Odd, methinks. Regarding the suggestions and feedback, if the exact same suggestions were getting repeated ad infinitum, then perhaps it would have been a good idea to implement them.

It's hidden because if it is deleted, you *cue dramatic music* can't see the posts, period. With it being hidden, the people that know how to find it can look back over any treasures that are in there.

With the S&F forum, the suggestions that were being asked are already implemented things (age, new colors, forum ideas (you can thank the revival of the "Mature Man" section to them and some persistent moderators too)), things that CAN'T be implemented on this software, or asnine suggestions ("Ban *insert poster here* because they said my post was stupid!").

*Sigh*

I've been here WAYYYYY too long. :crazy:
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

They are not really truly hidden; they only do not appear in the forum index. Google them and you can get the links.

Too me, a far better solution would be to move some of the good posts that are in these hidden areas into a non-hidden area. Even the archive.
