What's wrong with this image? And no, it's that that says MSNBC.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

The show is called, Morning Joe. It's hosted by the dude with the glasses, Joe Scarborough. He's in the background, his wife, is in the front middle.
Some of their previous headers.
The wife is taking over the show. I just find it amusing.

It has nothing to do with wifes running things. It's a business project and they do have producers, they do whatever audience demands. It's a business move. By the way, I was going to say that joe is probably holding ass of the young guy.

Not too sure about that chico. The headers started to change once he married his current wife (the blond). Which, consequentially, they we both cheating on their previous spouses. So, there you go. This Mika lady is one piece of work. She's a boss lady alright.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

He’s a fool. But touché, I didn’t catch onto that.

He was foolish enough to marry her. But now that he has, hey, at least she is contributing to his work and cause. That's good because when she divorces him and collects his assets, at least she did a little something. She contributed to the household income and didn't just go to Starbucks, go out buying shoes, watch soaps, and sit on Facebook all day while he worked. Maybe he can avoid the alimony this way sense she was doing 'equal' work as him.

They are both made for each other. Stats don't lie. Adulterers who cheat and marry do no last. Hey, at least she's attractive. Though, the short hair kills it for me. Paper bag time.
