"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 "real" reason marriage is in decline - Fewer people are getting married because there’s a shortage of economically-stable single men, says study

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Or maybe men have wised up that today’s women aren’t worth settling down with. I know I personally won’t buy a house and share an account with a woman that’s a former rider of the carousel.

Yeah, more like a shortage of economically stable chumps. In this day and age, why would a man with solid finances sign up to give it all away to a woman on her whim, once she decides all her hopes and dreams aren't being fulfilled (and you, of course are to blame)?

The thing is though I’m noticing more and more women are friend zoning the well to do beta chumps and still going out with Chads. Beta still buys her stuff and pays some bills when she needs, she flirts with him a little bit to make him think it’s going somewhere and to keep trying harder. Then out with Chad she goes. I know women in their 30’s doing this! With all the info out there how the hell do men still get friend zoned and strung along and not see it for what it is? No need to marry beta bucks when he will pay your way without and commitment or sex!

I know of a few guys like this. The impression I get is that these guys are happy to have a pretty girl to go out with and spend some time with, and don't really mind spending a few bucks for the experience. I really don't know if they're getting any sex or not, but let's say no. I think that given their lack of options, this scenario is better for them than nothing.

By the way, the guys I know who do this actually take out several different girls like this, so it's not like they're just stuck on one. If girls are attracted to guys that are seen in the company of attractive women, you'd think this would be to their benefit, even if they are friendzoned. Or maybe the other women sense what's really going on.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Hell I can sense when a man and woman are out and he’s in the friend zone and I’m a man! I can show you all the signs that give it away. I think even men that do have other options STILL get stuck in this friend zone crap because they won’t step back and admit what’s going on. They could easily be out with a girl that is interested in them but the time and effort they’ve put into one woman that’s never going to pay off makes them stick around.

Marriage is in decline because it's a scam to legally rob men of half their assets and extort them through alimony payments..... Imagine having to pay child support but only being able to see your kids 2 weekends per month....

Most men can do a simple pros/cons comparison and see that marriage doesnt have much benefit for men....

It's because he thinks he has "game" when it's actually a game within the feminine frame.

Supplication is now called an art form of the highest order amongst men of the manosphere.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

There probably is an ego component to the whole thing. Such a guy might come on SoSuave and post "Hey, I was out with an HB9 last night". Just the fact that she goes out with him at all is probably validation on some level to them.

They could easily be out with a girl that is interested in them but the time and effort they’ve put into one woman that’s never going to pay off makes them stick around.
Like I said though, the guys I know that are like this actually take out multiple women, so it isn't like they put all their effort into one woman. They just get friendzoned by them all. I know one guy who moons over about three different women, but can't really get anywhere with any of them. I imagine if one of them really did give them some true affection, he would narrow his focus to her.

We need to get a list compiled.

Marriage is in decline for many reasons, but chiefly because the internet became easily accessible. Suddenly, guys like me were able to read divorce horror stories from men from all 50 states; I was reading them on sosuave 17 years ago. Posters on sosuave linked me to other websites where guys were saying the same thing.

I was born at the beginning of the millennial generation - the people that should be getting married now - and I've had multiple opportunities to get married over the past decade. Never felt up to it. I bet there are many guys from my generation with a similar outlook.

Plenty of guys I grew up with did get married, and some still are. Some are divorced, some are still married. Probably half and half. But that doesn't mean that the ones that are still together won't get divorced in the future.

Maybe it's cognitive dissonance, but I look at the benefits. My money is my own and I have plenty of it. I never spend it on frivolous bullsh1t. I do what I want, when I want. A woman would never allow any of those things in a marriage, or a LTR for the most part.

From my experience, women always want their fair share: of your money, of your time, of your emotional tranquility.

Those are three very important things that every man should think long and hard about before he concedes them.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

You must be having daily orgasms just by being next to it, since you're obviously not using it daily.
I like having it next to me. It's the great equalizer.

A wise man reads horror stories in the news and thinks about how he would react in a similar situation. I don't ever want to be left helpless at the hands of evil men.

Marriage is also in decline because personal debt is increasing, while the cost of living is also increasing. Bad combination. Nobody has the money to pay for kids.

Unless, of course, you have no money, and in that case, have as many kids as your body can spit out. Tax payers will pay for it.

The moment you enter my ancestral dwelling you'll be surrounded by about 400 people, half of which is tattooed with curses, battle stories, protection spells, life stories and dozens of beheaded skulls thats on display, etc.

You're been constantly surrounded by a relatively peaceful environment hence ur fear.

I've been raised in an environment that embraces fear through bravery.

Let the fear go, when death comes it will come no matter what.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
