"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.

This is interesting but not that surprising.

Effectively if you want to lose weight while eating carbs, you should be eating them in their pre-packaged ratios of fiber as found in nature. It's this ratio that seems to be a key in how effective they are in terms of losing weight...

Fiber feeds the good bacteria in your gut which helps create hormones that regulate good processes in your body like blood sugar regulation, hunger and how quickly your stomach empties.

Which is why natural, unprocessed foods are always your best bet. They come intact the way we are supposed to be eating them.


 

"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 surprising at all. You mean fruit and starchy vegetables (potatoes, legumes, and whole grains) are actually healthy?

Ya don’t say…

As long as you aren't one of the people who peel the skins off of fruits which contains most of the fiber haha

I keep the skin on my sweet potatoes, wash and dice them chunky and bake in the oven, that's most of my carbs with brown rice and bananas
