"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 so many threads getting locked?

"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.

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.

"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.

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 :)

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

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.

Suicide bombing is oh so last year.

Im all about whippings over teddy bears called Mo these days.
 

"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.

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.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
