"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.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

That list is a joke.

Will Smith and 2 Live Crew shouldn't be on that list
Mike Jones, Bubba Sparkx, Master P, Nelly, Chingy - there are worse rappers than them, the dude's just hating to be in the cool crowd
I woulda put P-Diddy up there before them - lazy ass flow and Mase wrote al his lyrics before he dropped out of the game. I woulda put Pete Rock on it - the guy sounded terrible when he tried to get behind a mic. Same with Jazzy Jeff. And Deborah Harry sounded like crap on Rapture

Nick Cannon is better than Master P? Come on. Also, I don't like Will Smith's music, but the only thing I think messed him up is that he stayed with his squeaky clean image too long in the same way Three-6 is turning out the same tired stuff. I agree with Ready; there are a lot worse rappers this guy could have chosen.
"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.

I like the list.
Will Smith totally deserves to be on there. Some of his old stuff was "cute" but his newer stuff makes me want to rip my ears off. He should stick to being cute.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Where is Kris Kross, Bow wow and Snow on this list?!
that right there is in the top 10 of worst rap of all time.
and if they had Mr. T on it, then they should have had Macho Man share the title:

Isn't Snow a "reggae" artist?DJDamage said:
"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.

I liked Informer.
I thought he sounded like a lamb. It mostly sounded like "baaaa baaaa".

"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.
