While I am all for the feel-good stories and overcoming AA, this is NOT why I come here. The two top posts right now are "field reports" of two AFCs (sorry OPs) who finally found their balls and actually made their (what reads like) first approaches ever - and then proceed to preach from their runner's high. "long time lurker, first time poster". Is this the fucking Howie Carr radio show my grandmother listens to? Making one approach to get one number is NOT a field report.

I'm not saying I have the solution but our quality has gone way, way down. My feeling is there hasn't been an awful lot of constructiveness and I don't know if it's because I'm far beyond the beginner stuff or if there hasn't been much besides beginner-level stuff. Anyways, step your fucking game up seddit. Set up the date before you leave her; stop just settling for her number before you prance off with your dick still in your hand. I will seriously buy gold for the next frontpage post that reads anything like "[FR] F-CLOSE, HAPPY NOW?" Challenge accepted, or have we lost our focus?
