The Gateway to Manville, USA, where good men have great fun and get great help, and women have a ball watching them.
This may become the VIP Subscriber Area when our user community grows large enough, but for now it is FREE to all comers, so come on in!
VIP Platinum members will have virtually unlimited direct access to me during my waking hours (roughly 6:00AM-9:00PM Mountain Time, no appointment necessary on my end but if you want to establish one I will reserve the time for you) for addressing specific relationship and marriage issues (and at my discretion, possibly others as well), including my personal cell phone number. This forum is where I will post my current telephone number, any relevant scheduling information (such as if I know I'll be unavailable during a meeting or conversation with another member), etc., that might help to facilitate access for coaching purposes. It will not contain coaching transcripts or anything for members to learn from unless members who receive coaching post it, as coaching at this level is very personal and private and I will not disclose it.
Here's the place to ask me direct questions that you don't mind the rest of the group seeing. This is the last step before private counseling.
Single and newly divorced men, place your ads here after having the Ladies and achievers help you develop them in the Workshop forum. Ladies, either date them or give them a critique of their ad.

Ladies, this forum is for you. Hang out, have fun. Do what women do. Guys, you can watch, and you can ask questions, but don't join in the discussions. Observe and learn. The way you see these women interacting is how most women expect you to interact with them because we all expect everyone to be like us. We're different, and you may see things in here that will explain a lot of the flack you've caught in the past, and give you an idea of how to avoid the problem in the future.
This room is for men to learn how to talk with women as a real man talks, practicing at a minimum the three rules outlined in THE Man's Guide for Great Relationships and Marriage. Ladies, here's your chance to teach a man who to talk with a woman, and especially how to LISTEN to a woman. It's a practice area, so make new friends, and go easy on the guys while their eyes are opening. They've been fed as much nonsense about women as you've been fed about men, so it can be an enjoyable learning experience for all if you let it.
The place for singles to mix and mingle. Get your flirt on and have some fun! Reminders: disclose personal info at your own risk, and there is a live chat facility that will provide both group and one-to-one live chat. This forum is monitored, but not moderated, so play nice. ;-) Have fun!
Exclusive news of new discoveries, revelations, product recommendations, and anything else I or other members find that might improve the quality of your life and/or relationship. As related tips grow in number they will be moved to sub-forums within this forum.
I'm compiling chapters from newsletters and reader/client correspondence for a monster version of "THE Man's Guide" in a paper book. This material is organized by topic, one topic per thread. This will save you searching and give you a preview of my next book!
Here is the place to discuss your relationship issues if you have any that you want to discuss in public. I will try to monitor and keep the blind from leading the blind, but use at your own risk, and if anything controversial shows up and I haven't "refereed" it, PM me and we'll get it squared away.
"What's your sign?" I still remember people asking that immediately after an introduction back in the 60's and 70's. We've all been amused by daily horoscopes in the newspaper and such. There are also those who erroneously view astrology as an occult religion and denounce it without understanding, as well as those who can distinguish between fantasy and the science of cycles, radio waves, and gravity, and use astrology as an aid to decision-making with great success.
As with any discipline, for every competent practitioner there is a charlatan who makes a mockery of the discipline and a lazy dolt who scratches the surface and claims "grand master" status, so some people are understandably "turned off" of the idea. If you are someone who has issues with astrology, you are cordially invited to simply not participate in this forum. Those who are interested really don't care what you think about it and anything you have to say will fall on deaf ears. As with all other parts of this forum, you are encouraged to participate in the areas that interest you and abstain from posting judgmental or bigoted statements against other users. And as with all other sections of this forum, violation will get you banned, so if you have an ax to grind, grind it elsewhere.
For those of you who are interested in astrology on any level, we have arranged a rare treat for you. Moderating this forum will be Karen White of Divine Time Astrology, a practitioner of Vedic astrology, the most ancient and seemingly accurate of the astrological methods which originated in India. Vedic astrology is very scientific, focusing on cycles, energy flows, etc., that have been observed for longer than the average person can even imagine. I was given a personal reading as a demonstration, and I was shocked at how it aligned with events and tendencies in my own life, so if you have even a passing casual interest, you should find this forum worth your time.
Anything goes. Chit-chat, get to know each other, exchange contact info, meet singles, and anything else you want to do, as long as it is no more explicit than R-rated. No porn, no sex stories, no language you wouldn't use in mixed company. We don't need the feds reaming us on COPPA issues, even though no children are allowed here. And I was serious about anything goes. This forum is not moderated, but it will be monitored, so play nice. ;-)
Suggestions here will get priority over those in the free area, and pertain to the entire site, not just the VIP area. Same rules as the public area; post suggestions here for discussion so we can make the most of the time and resources available to keep this site running.
Download free reports from David Cunningham, find site rules and customs, and anything else a newcomer might want or need to do here.
Threads in here will be miscellaneous admin pages, such as thank you notes for donations, that will not appear openly to users for browsing but which will be available by direct URL.
Each day's newsletter lesson copy posted here, fully searchable -- a great alternative to http://blog.makingherhappy.com!
I have accumulated a lot of testimonials over the years and have never made most of them public. I will make some of them public in this forum, and members are also invited to write their own to post here. The hardest thing in this entire endeavor has not been helping people to find happiness, but to help people understand that THEY CAN find happiness, and these testimonials are the greatest evidence that happiness is attainable to those who want it and go after it. If you wish to leave your own testimonial, feel free. It may change someone's life for the better when they realize they can follow in your footsteps.
Everybody has used products that they want to recommend to others because they got spectacular results and other products they want to warn everyone about because they're a waste of time and money. The same goes for vendors, some being stupendous and some being just plain stupid, among other things. Post your experiences here, and posts on a particular kind of product or vendor accumulate we'll create sub-forums for them. Warning: Do NOT attempt to use this forum for spamming. Because it has such potential for abuse, links will not be allowed. You may include product names, part numbers, phone numbers, addresses, or anything else that would allow a person to find something through a search engine, but we do not want to become a target and repository for spammers flooding us with back-links to their customers. Posts will be moderated.
Come in and introduce yourself. Real names optional, display of your e-mail address optional, so make yourself known and at home at your own comfort level, but do come in and introduce yourself -- how else are new friends to find you?
Come in here to discuss your hobbies with your friends, share tips, cheer your heroes, mentor, etc. Larger topics will have subforums created for them as the need arises; those here now are just a place to start.
Armchair Quarterbacks and contenders alike, come on in. We'll create subforums as needed to organize, and those you see are just a starting point.

A man who can cook is every woman's dream, and a man who can cook over fire is...well...a man-god, at least as far as those at his table or around his tailgate are concerned. Share recipes, techiques, pics of your last tailgate party or tricked-out grill or smoker, post ads for your favorite rib rub -- I don't care, just get in here and enjoy!
One of my own favorite hobbies is roasting coffee. I love the stuff. And I am thorougly convinced that the reason a lot of people don't like coffee is because they've never had a good cup. I'll share what I've learned, which is extensive, and invite everyone to learn and share as well. You might be surprised at how inexpensively and downright easy the perfect cup o' Joe can be produced.
If it's funny, post it here. All this serious relationship stuff can get pretty intense and a levity break is always nice. It doesn't have to be "G"-rated, but if it's something a pre-teen child shouldn't be reading, it probably shouldn't be here.
Come in here and share your successes, no matter what they are. Keep it PG-rated, folks. Stories of sexual conquest are not what we're looking for here. Real men don't do that. ;-)
Typically suggestions are done by private messaging, but I like suggestions in open forum like this so others can comment and confirm the usefulness of suggestions, helping to prioritize them. You may also use private messaging, of course, and all suggestions are welcome. It takes a lot of time and resources to keep a forum like this one up, so we might as well make the most of it.
