"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.

I have not posted here in years, but I have somthing I feel the need to discuss.

I dont struggle to hold a conversation with a girl I have just met. I know how to be funny and I know how to act a little cheeky, but somtimes and particularly with people I know better I feel like I cant be bothered to put the effort in. Like I dont have the energy. I could be with some mates and often feel in a mood where I will happily just sit back and let other people talk.

This got me thinking that maybe to snap out of this, rather thna concentrating on how I tlak to a perosn I have just met, I should concentrate on how I talk to those I know best.

I dont understand why I so often feel uninterested in conversations. Maybe I just find the topics boring somtimes?

Any comments apreciated.
 

"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 can relate very much to this. sometimes when i'm around my friends i get into this funk where i just get completely turned off talking about the same old **** that i've talked about for years

i'm trying to improve my life, taking up new hobbies, making new friends, and trying to make my life more interesting, because with new inner confidence, its much easier to hold your own in any social situation, and often times guide the conversation to more interesting topics (well more interesting to you at any rate ;-))
