"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.

Success saboteur 1: X-rated kissing technique

It’s a soul-destroying experience for a woman. She fancies a guy, he seems to fancy her, they chat, they flirt, he moves in for a kiss… and his lips open up to envelope her entire lower face, like a horny octopus.

This is the point at which she realises, her heart heavy with disappointment, that he has zero boyfriend potential. Once she’s disentangled herself from his slobbery grip, he’s unlikely to see her again.

If you want to impress a woman with your kissing technique, remember: less is more. Gently brush her lips with yours. Let her lead the pace. Use your tongue to tease her, not to throttle her. If she wants you to be more forceful, she’ll soon let you know.

Success saboteur 2: Super-white teeth

Love lessons from the life of Simon Cowell, part 46: know when to stop bleaching your teeth. Clean, bright, non-crumbly teeth improve your appearance, partly because it’s connected with youth (people’s teeth naturally darken as they get older). So a whiter smile can boost your appeal, but not when it’s so bright that it is not longer recognisably human.

On a slight tangent, have you ever been out with someone who brags that they’ve never had a filling in their entire life? These people are smug, and they lack important life experience. Avoid them.

Success saboteur 3: “Treat ‘em mean, keep ‘em keen”

Don’t mess with a woman’s head by blowing hot and cold. Playing hard to get may trigger her interest in the short run, but it’ll soon make her frustrated and insecure. Life’s too short for that, and few grown-up women can be bothered.

If you really like a girl, let her know. You don’t have to stalk her like a desperate puppy. Ask her out – and then ring or text her the next day to say how much you enjoyed it. It’ll make her feel good, and that’s what successful dating is all about. If you get turned down, move on to someone who’s interested.

Success saboteur 4: Flashing the cash

A stingy bloke is not much fun to date. But don’t go to the opposite extreme by throwing money around. A cash-splasher lacks respect for money, and that won’t impress any woman. Be generous, but also show that you can be responsible. Let her pay for dinner sometimes, too. She wants a boyfriend, not a sugar daddy.

Success saboteur 5: Pricey clothes

A dateable man makes an effort and knows how to work a washing machine. An undateable man maxes out his overdraft on designer outfits that he only wears once because he can’t be bothered to get them dry cleaned, and then can’t pay his gas bill because he’s got no money left.

It’s not just about responsibility. Women want men with flair and smarts – men who can dress well for any occasion without breaking the bank. They don’t want men who need labels to prop up their rubbish self-esteem.

Besides, a bloke who spends all his cash on clothes is unlikely to have much left over to spend on his girlfriend.

Success saboteur 6: Telling her how fit she is

You might think that the words “you’re dead fit” will make any woman melt into your arms. They will not. It’s a non-compliment compliment. Any man with enough lager inside him will throw these words at any passing female.

Compliments that hit the spot are sincere, thoughtful and specific, and focus on a woman’s tastes or quirks. For example if you’re in a bar or at a party, tell a girl that you like the look of what she’s drinking, and ask what it is. Or compliment a specific part of her body, without getting lecherous. “You’ve got great tits” is lazy and lame, but “are your eyelashes real? They’re very long… sorry, I couldn’t help noticing” will probably get you a snog.

Success saboteur 7: Teasing

Teasing girls is like the face-flannel method of kissing: forgivable in a 13-year-old boy, but disastrous in any man old enough to know better. Nonetheless, plenty of grown men seem to think it’s flirtatious to make fun of a woman they don’t know well (or even one they do). It’s not flirtatious, it’s rude, and it doesn’t win snogs.

Success saboteur 8: Too much man-perfume

Men who douse themselves in what used to be called aftershave are like women who cake their faces in make-up. They think they’re God’s gift to the opposite sex, but actually they scare dogs and children, and they only get laid by drunk people.

Man-perfume (man-fume, let’s say) is like expensive clothes: it’s all a matter of degree. A little bit can boost your sex appeal – we all want a man who looks and smells nice, who makes an effort. We don’t want a man who ramps up the pong factor by squirting eight times when once would have done.

Some scientists reckon that women’s sense of smell is more sensitive than men’s, which may explain why your idea of “just enough” man-fume could be your dating downfall. Err on the side of caution.

Success saboteur 9: Loads of amazing anecdotes

Great, so you’ve been to Cuba and up Mount Kilimanjaro, and you drive an Audi and your dad’s got a yacht. Well done. Once you’ve spent all evening telling a girl about this, she’ll feel completely uninteresting by comparison. No-one wants to hang out with someone who makes them feel rubbish, so that’ll be the last you see of her.

By all means be honest about who you are and what you’ve got to offer. Self-pitying shrinking violets don’t get far on the dating scene, either. But as a rule, be more interested in her than in yourself. Leave her wanting to know more.

Success saboteur 10: Stubble

Don’t even think about going near a woman with that stuff on your chin. First off, it stopped being cool long George Michael (sultan of stubble) got arrested in those toilets. More important, it hurts our faces when you kiss us. Even more important, it leaves a rash. A woman with stubble rash might as well have “I had rough sex last night and I haven’t been home yet” written on her face in eyeliner. Gents, please: shave it or grow it.

It's funny because as I begin to progress and learn more about this Game, its like the other side, hightens Women's standards more, a few years ago, being an Average Joe, I would've taken keen interest in this sort of article BS and applied, believed it, just like on ASKMEN.com. But I'm beginning to see women as utterly worthless except for ONE thing, and reading these articles gives me an urge to scream out "FU.CK YOU'RE CHANCES "........Can you blame me for being this way? This site does encourage "Being the Prize" doesn't it?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Yeah this article is completely ridiculous. I love the fact that women are so full of themselves that they write crap like this basically ordering us around and telling us to jump and expecting us to ask "How high?".

This is just like reading some of those profiles girls make on online dating sites where they basically yell, bi tch, and complain at whoever the schmuk is that happens to be reading it.

This crap going to seriously backfire on them someday.

Why even post this nonsense? Anyone who reads is just hurting themselves
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

lol, there are so many wrong things in this post. It's a shame my beard growth is pathetic, but my experience with stubble(or scruff for that matter) is that women LOVE it. I see most of my friends run around with 1 or 2 days of scruff and girls absolutely love it.

Not to mention the rest of the advice is just ****. Where did you come up with these? Vogue? Cosmopolitan?

More important, it hurts our faces when you kiss us.
Aaaaaannnnnd you lost me.

Girls advice, to me, always seems to come from the frame of "this is how things should work" and not "this is what really works."

Yep. Which is why their advice sounds like this, publicly: "Hold us gently. Tell us we're special to you." And this privately: "Grab my azz. Bite me! Harder dammit!"

Typically what a woman would say. The worst advice ever.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Advice from women is like Communism. Good in theory in a perfect world, fails horribly in reality.

Actually communism was/is bad even in theory. Marx looked just on one aspect of society - economic one. And it is at least quite narrow view.
Only reason someone is a commie is because he wants to have a chance with girls (yeah pretty much everything is about reproduction, thanks Mr. Freud) even if he is not the "rich guy". Understandable in early years when workers were treated like slaves in factories or on farms. But it didn't last that long. (Democracy is the answer. You can't let your voters be treated like slaves.)

And communism or whatever ideology eventualy turns to national(tribe) socialism dictatorship - national socialism is the only managable dictatorship - because it touches people/sheeple basis.

Yeah girls tell me to shave and that stuble hurts. But in reality they don't mind so much and they are telling you to shave to let you know they are thinking about kissing you or just to jerk you around and see if you comply.

The whole article is cr*p. Especially....without teasing you are dead in the water. Mature guys don't tease? In which universe? Stuck up or sissies don't tease.

(Aside) I'm a Marxist and no true Marxist state has ever come into being. Though Marx says it's inevitable and we'll see if he's right. Marxist-Leninism (USSR, China, Cuba) is not Marxism. Marxist communism happens organically, not dictatorially. We see our own western societies slowly moving in that direction and without it we would be wholly owned by the corporations by now.
(/Aside)

The original article is very, very silly. One of my current girlfriends actually asked me if I would NOT shave when we see each other because stubble is "sexy." And the other advice in the thing ain't much better.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
