How do we get more AFC’s posting on this thread?

I'll put a shameless promotional banner on my signature. We'll put a supermodel on it, some beer, and it shall say "porn thread." AFC's will come running.

This thread has been an amazing experience. As I was going through all the pages today, it was interesting to see how it effectively freeze-frames different periods of this forum and of my own personal journey.
My mother answered three days worth of questions around page 17. I gave you my “bumping uglies” playlist on p.22. I’ve revealed the answer to the meaning of life on p. 48. It’s been almost hijacked 4 or 5 times, but here we are. 50 pages and still kicking.
Reading some of the earliest answers made me cringe. Looking over some of the attempted hijacking/drama made my stomach sink. Remembering when I was PMSing and answering questions made me laugh so hard that my dog judged me from across my apartment.
Realizing how far I’ve come as a teacher, student, PUA, and human being made me cry. And it is, in an enormous way, due to you.
Your questions have been the fodder for some of my favorite theories (Stalemate 101, Semi-permeable membrane, Called Shot Theory, Bad Boy Syndrome, etc.) Your support has helped me through some of the dark periods of my professional and personal life. Our inside jokes have made me laugh, and meeting many of you has been an absolute pleasure.

In celebration of this thread’s 50th page, and my 666th post, I shall recap some of this thread’s greatest quotations. Some make me cringe, many make me laugh, and a few inspire me to keep plugging along towards serendipity:
“A chicken can wear a big black fuzzy hat and get attention, but it's still a chicken.”
“Collared shirts? Screw those. You might as well be wearing camouflage in a forest.”
“If you're blabbing about this slut you banged, she's going to think 'this is how he will talk about me after I've trotted reverse cowgirl style on him.' Not a good thing.”
“In ancient Greece, wars were only started by the consent of an oracle. In modern bars, drawers are dropped over the cube.”
“I will only discuss the Sean Connery interpretation of James Bond because it is the only one that counts. He is sexy because he could never exist. He is eternally transient. He is every woman's dream and nightmare for a perfect man. Watch his movements, study them. He's like a panther. Personally, I find him sexy because he has cool gadgets.”
“[While I’m riding in your car,] give me a job. If you're in charge of driving, give me the radio or music selection. You could probably get a few good negs in there too if my musical tastes are a bit to '87 for you.”
“One of the most common misconceptions I see in beginning and intermediate PUAs is that they are 'too good' to try out canned material. I'm all for a more natural or self-produced style... but you have to learn the rules first in order to break them. It's a journey. Same goes for PUA literature. If you're too good to learn the history of the community and to be aware of what methodologies are out there... you'll never get farther than your own narcissism.”
“Don't bite the hand that feeds you, especially if you're asking for more.”
“Who we SAY and THINK we are attracted to is so rarely the one we end up fucking at the end of the night.”
“Stop being a pussy. With great power comes great responsibility (Spiderman Mantra.) And as Adonis' better looking twin brother: must suck not to have quite the cult following your bro does, but at least you don't have to constantly be on the lookout for boars.
Or, you know what: pick up some nasty habit like kicking kittens to make up for your mighty looks. That should bring those ladies down a notch.”
“ ‘youll youll’... what? I'll... I'll... make fun of you for not using proper capitalization and punctuation.”
“[Visualize] a princess is in a tower, waiting for her prince to climb up, rescue her, and take her away to happiness. The prince trots up on a donkey... it ruins the fantasy. She wants that fucking white stallion. These are the stories that our mothers read to us every night at a very impressionable age... you can't blame us for our tendencies to judge men's transportation.”
“I will punt you.”
“I have a morality issue with using NLP to get women into the bedroom. I feel like it's cheating. What fun is playing Zelda on Super Nintendo if you've got a walkthrough?”
“Some of my favorite boyfriends from high school were the ones who I made duck if any of my friends walked by.”
“Just being 'The Most Alpha Guy Ever' does not make you a PUA.”
“I love to deal with high quality people, even if that means conceding power every once in a while. I'm woman/man enough to admit that.”
“…these cases are rarer than I like my steak, which is practically still blinking.”
“Good thing you’re gay.”
“Girls aren't angels and guys aren't evil. We're all human beings, and we run the gamut of human experience.”
“If you can’t make me laugh, you’re too normal. If you can’t make other people around us laugh, you’re worthless.”
“No bikini waxes, but if you got back hair...I'm getting you into a salon, asap.”
“First date- I'll offer but the guy 99.9% of the time pays. Second date- I'll offer and say it's my turn, but if the guy really wants that check, fine. Third date- I pay or I'll punch him.”
“If women use their sexuality to dupe men, it's the responsibility of men to educate themselves. Is it okay to rob houses? I don't think so, but if someone leaves their doors wide open and their valuables out... I'm not going to feel sorry for them.”
“Thugie, darling, you can help me too and get back on topic. I do enjoy hearing about my fine ass, and I do have a love for a brother, but all that is moot. You want to game the girls on here, make your own topic.”
“I will verbally abuse him until he cries. This happens, more frequently than I would like. Actually, I really enjoy doing this. He deserves it for being tactless.”
“Hater's formula: talk shit + community response + your response + community interest = power to the hater
Player's disruption: hater talks shit + community response - your response (because you don't give a fuck) + community moves on = stalemate.”
“Hooking up with coworkers can be a total bitch though. You may have to deal with the repercussions if it blows up in your face. Balls are not optional in this situation.”
“My definition of a perfect kiss is like a good story. Exposition, climax, and a denouement that leaves me satisfied yet wanting more. Note: Exposition should contain a polite amount of moderation.”
“Neg away. If she's got piercing on her face, she's making a statement. I wouldn't be afraid to comment on it. Of course, a smile is probably a good idea when you're comparing her to Pinhead from Hellraiser.”
“I like self-confidence, a touch of cocky, and a touch of self-deprecating humor. I like variety and depth. Otherwise, my personality is too overbearing, and I will steamroll you like a squirrel on a highway.”
“I'll get to the rest of your questions tomorrow. My sleeping pill is kicking in now, and I'm starting to feel like Anna Nicole Smith.”
“As far as we're concerned, I am the Matrix.”
“This applies, generally speaking, to every single woman on the face of the earth. (okay, slight hyperbole)”
“Wow. I'm still not over the fact I was called a "bad mamma jamma." I think I'll get that tattooed somewhere.”
“It has been an ultimate goal of mine for like four years to have sex to jock jams once before I die. I just think it would be hilarious.”
“I don't believe in "true love." I believe all love is real, for if I conceded that I have loved falsely then I've also confirmed I think falsely. I still love all of my loves, though they are the few, the brave, and the proud.”
