"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Why so many threads getting locked?

"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.

A lot of flaming and flame-bating recently. I don't even really like starting threads anymore.

That and there have been a lot of looks threads or threads that have somehow turned into a looks debate.

Lol.

It seems like only certain people with certain stances are labeled flamers, when actually there are a lot of "flamers", and a lot of "flaming" going on.

I think someone is too gung ho.

"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.

Threads are getting locked because people are going completely off-topic. My very first thread on this board asking for advice, turned into a 100+ post flame-war mostly between two idiots who could care less what the OP was about and just wanted to call each other names.

I'm surprised they haven't shut down more threads.

I'm going to take a wild guess that it was for the reasons Rollo stated in every thread that he locked. If you had additional questions about his reasoning, why didn't you just PM him instead of making a thread about it?

It has nothing to do with my thread being locked. If you look at the front page of this forum, there are about 5 or 6 that are locked. It seems to be a common practice, and I was curious to know why. That was the reason why I riased it

Saying that, I find it rather amusing that Iqqi calls for a thread lock only to have her wish granted. I know the thread offended her judging by the responses she gave, but calling for the thead to be locked seemed a little, i dunno, extreme.

Sorry Iqqi. American women are ugly and dumb :)

If you read the thread you would know why they are locked.

ps this forum isn't a democracy, its a dictatorship run by the owner.

You could always defect, I don't even think that a travel visa is required.

ok, I will take you at your word and forgive you, then. Sarcasm is not easy to see in text.

I *really* hate it when about any thread is locked. I think mods do it too much.

Nice bit o drama there queenie. Maybe you should demand a refund. As a forum admin myself I hate it when people whip this idiotic argument out.

Censorship is something the state does. Although available to the public this is a privately run forum and not really much different than being in someone's living room. If they don't like what you're saying they can tell you to shut up or throw you out, no explanations needed.

Instead of whining about censorship, maybe you should be thanking them for making this available at no charge. Failing that you can a) leave or b) get off your lazy ass and setup your own forum so that you can listen to functional retards equate enforcing the house rules with terrorism.

Do you let your dog crap in the house? No? I guess that makes you a fascist terrorist too.:box:

Yeah... I'm pretty sure this is Allen's living room, in that context, not Rollo's.

And I am pretty sure Allen would be more apt to agree with this little nugget here:

Respectfully, iqqi.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.
