Hemmingway got attention through..er “lifestyle”..

This needs no introduction.

Rule #5

Write about dating. Even if your subject is genocide, weave in dating. “Why Holocaust deniers can’t maintain stable relationships or find love”. And if you somehow sell it as ‘dating tips’, you are gold.

Rule #4

If you are female, always mention your vagina in the title. Every guy here clicks on the word ‘Vagina’ as soon as we see it. No matter how off-color the rest of the sentence. “My Vagina is at the core of all Photosynthesis”, we’d click then sit there confused looking at plants……while your numbers skyrocket.

Rule #3

If you are male, DO NOT mention your “cock”. Know your audience. Other than Lexington Steele’s wildly popular Medium Section, “Barbequing and fellatio”, there is no subject that a man can reference his ‘hammer’ in that will benefit you with the Curators. Maybe if you are having it removed or societal ills has made it ‘non-functioning’, but that’s it.

Rule #2

Talk tech, but do not say anything that could be considered Luddite. “I can’t get the hang of MAC since I left Windows,” or “My dial-up internet works just fine”, may as well be “Revoke my account — now”.

Rule #1

And I cannot stress this enough….

Number EVERYTHING. This site worships lists and bullet points as much as content. “10 Lies that men tell that means he hates your cat”, “5 reasons you can’t satisfy her in bed”, “The 6 most annoying comments black man hear about their haircuts, ranked”.

Trust me, the rest is just blather, .
