"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.

MaKe sure you’re staying hydrated. Are you having any balance issues?
I always drink a lot of water, and no balance issues.

My right ear has improved, I don't notice any ringing at all during the day, at night quite in bed, it's less and not really affecting my sleep. I woke up this morning and didn't notice it (much).

Regardless of if it keeps improving to complete silence, I'm not going to take my ears for granted again. There's a WhatsApp party group I'm in with over 500 people, once I mentioned it, at least 10 others said they have it too. I don't even want to go near loud music again but if I do, definitely wearing ears plugs.

Look after your ears people, last week I legit felt like I was going insane the ringing was so loud.
 

"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.

Not to try and scare you but...

I'm not even clicking that lol

This is legitimate. The CEO of Texas Roadhouse caught COVID and developed tinnitus with ringing in his ears. He couldn't tolerate it any longer and committed suicide.

Van Gogh also cut off his ear to escape it, there's a FB group that helps with people having suicidal thoughts due to Tinnitus.
