Advice you'd give your teenage self

"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.

Adults are not stupid, they know what they are talking about. Find some that you respect and listen to them.

Chicks like sex as much if not more than we do. Girls are not delicate crystal that need to be protected. It wasn't until my senior year in college that I realized that chicks are freaks, and they are emotionally much stronger than we are. Never worry about ticking off a chick or hurting them... they will get over you in the time it takes to talk to their friends and fvck another dude. Innocence and weakness is all an act to sucker you in.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
