"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.

Whats the deal with the language barring from here?

Its not like anyone here is pre-adolescent..

and people make the makeshift fvck to represent the original spelling anyway?

Thats like telling your kid..you can smoke all the pot you want, just dont do it in the house or in front of me..
 

"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.

Starman,
Don't mess with the moderators. You might get banned from the site.

Cheers,

Personally, I don't think adults should ever have a NEED to swear at all. I certainly don't. Just because you're a "grown up adult" doesn't mean you're entitled to "Adultery"! (Poor example there eh?)

Secondly: Some of us use these boards while in work. Lots of workplaces have swear and sex filters. Think about it...

I understand about the work thing..

arent the filters more about websites than catching "phrases" in a web page?

Im not messing with the Mods..just asking
 

"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.

The Idea that the censorship is too much has been tossed around in the suggestions forum. The suggestions in the suggestion & feedback forum are read by admin and sometimes the admin does reply and give his opinion.

Anyway this topic belongs there.

LOL with Cesare Cardinali.

Moved to Suggestion & feedback forum

It's a badly-kept secret.
Actually, before I became a mod, I posted something similar in Suggestions and Feedback.

It doesn't really bother me anymore. It's no big deal. I'm sure Allen realises that most of us are grown men, but that's not the reason why the filter's on.

Allen can give you the details (if he can summon the will-power and patience to explain it again for the umpteenth time).

I say never be complete. I say stop being perfect. I say let's evolve. Let the chips fall where they may.
