"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.
Why isnt politics allowed to be discussed on here????

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

It is kinda silly that they don't allow political discussion due to the fighting and flaming, when nearly every other thread descends into fighting and flaming anyway. At least with political discussions, we could fight and flame about something meaningful.

I totally agree with this policy as long as sensitive threads only get closed after things start to get out of control. Basically no politics allowed as a general rule, but somewhat lenient on a case to case basis in its application.
Because:
1) Talking about politics has nothing to do with attracting girls and women
2) It only creates fights and more fights.
3) When we say "politics", it's actually never about the facts contrary to what many people might think, it's not even about opinions, it's about beliefs. People will almost never change their beliefs since it's one of the very foundations of their own existence. Try to convince a conservative to become liberal, or try to convince a sionist that Israel also commits atrocities, try to convince some people that globalization is bad, and some others that globalization is good, etc... All you gonna get is just insults fights and more insults
4) It will be meaningless because it will only be a dialog of the deaf.
5) A few things to avoid talking about if we want a relaxed, non conflictual atmosphere here: politics, religion; and too a lesser extent: race and geopolitics.
:yes:

Because it is a forum geared toward the betterment of the male interaction with women perhaps?g g g unit said:
"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.

Thing is, some (most) members, and not only on this board, tend to hold grudges. A flamewar in one forum tend to spray into others as well.

Fair enough its just a shame we cant be adults and have a mature conversation about politics without turining this board into a school playground.DJDamage said:

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Actually your question was a legitimate one, so no one would flame you on that.g g g unit said:
But experience has showed that debating about politics or religion and other sensitive and very divisive topics can only split the community without bringing any visible benefits.
Many times the moderators are flexible, from time to time borderline sensitive topics still get brief debates and then get closed just before things start to get out of control.

My question is why is it so important to discuss politics here? I'm the first to say that a guy who is well versed in several topics has a better chance of being interesting. However that's not because he knows more or knows about a particular topic; it's about his presence, his demeanor, his actions, things which are seemingly intrinsic to him, not things external or superficial to him such as miscellaneous topics.
Politics (and religion) always conjure up a special kind of debate. We could have a civil debate on car mechanics, aviation history, and whether Angelina Jolie would make a good screw (yes)... But nearly the moment politics or religion arguments light up the switch board, the argument becomes exceptionally irrational. You have name-calling, mud slinging, ad hominem attacks, and discussing everything but the subject at hand. The actual "argument" stops after a few posts and the rest is an inferno.
Plus, politics (and religion) are guaranteed to turn into a fight every time, whereas for practically any other subject it's up to luck.
