There has been much said about men and women and their respective dating strategies. Much of the ‘rules’ about these gender interactions have been debated and discussed for years. When does a person slip out of that ‘potential mate’ category and into the friend-zone?This theory proposes that it is less about time, and more about the dimensions that surround the particular relationship that dictates this.
One must first imagine an American-Indian T.P or tent pole that was first used in the mid-18th century and is still being used today. It can be closed by closing the flap and this flap can be held open to allow for easy entry and exit into the tent. If one were to apply this picture to a relationship between a man and a woman, it will allow for the theory to be understood. The theory says that when the flap is open, the relationship still has potential to turn into a romantic one. However, once this flap is closed and the time has elapsed, the relationship enters the friend-zone as referred to earlier and it remains this way. The potential for any further romantic activity or feelings has diminished.
The reasons for the closing of the flap are specific to the relationship. Examples could be lack of common ground, lack of sexual attraction, an immobile man not ‘making the move’ and a host of others.

Conspiracy Theorists are large groups of underachievers who talk about unrealistic huge world-wide conspiracies, that apparently no one is aware of, except some angry kids and man-children in front of their keyboards.
Essentially, it's a way for them to feel smarter than the establishment and thus it alleviates their feelings of inferiority.

Conspiracy Theorists: "Dude you realize even Tila Tequila exposed the flat earth conspiracy theory?"
Sane Person: "She also thinks she is a clone, right?"
Conspiracy Theorists: "Holy Shit! Even more Illuminati lies exposed."

Get the Theofanis mug.In Life, evolution is the process of change in the traits of a person from highschool to the next. The Shaikh Potential Theory deals with the idea that a woman who may appear unattractive in her early stages of life will turn out to be beautiful in the future. The theory explores the idea of finding "potential" in these future hot women and becoming friends with them now, in their least attractive form. So when they reach their potential, the lucky person who befriended her, now has a beautiful female friend. Thus earning himself the respect he deserved but never got from his peers.
Shaikh Potential Theory: There are two major mechanisms that drive the Theory. The first is face, a girl with braces, acne, or bad hair is usually a canditate for the Theory. One must look past these imperfections and discover the beauty 4 or 5 years from now. Secondly, the body is important, if shes over weight or lacks nutrition and needs the right amount of meat? go for her, be friends with that. Since losing weight is easier than losing ugly.

An example of the Shaikh Potential Theory is Ugly Betty or the chick that played Velma in the Scooby Doo series.

Theory 2 - If a player is 12yo or younger he will do nothing but say/yell/scream "SKIP THE MAP! SKIP THE MAP! HURRY, SKIP THE MAP!"
Theory 3 - No one under the age of 18 is supposed to be playing CoD. However we all know that is bullshit and no one cares about that.

Theory 4 - If you have a microphone(headset), and you do not talk to other people on your team, YOU SIR ARE A DOUCHE!
Theory 5 - If you do not have high-speed internet or a good connection do not play CoD. You will cause all other players to get pissed off when you finally lose connection.
