"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.

Hello all,

Thanks in advance for reading this. I have an uncomfortable question for you, but I need to know the answer. When I was 12 years old, my father never gave me "the talk" (in terms of men and women).

I remember him recounting one time when he was walking down the hallway and the thing between his legs was stiff so he didn't know what it was so he went into the bathroom to adjust it. Then he told me, you shouldn't do that (i.e. touch it).

He also gave me an account of what male homosexuals do (sodomy) and then said, "That's why they call them ****packers," with disgust.

Was this sexual abuse?

Thank you.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Because his description of sodomy was pretty graphic and I remember being bothered by it afterward and trying to forget.

P.S. There are other details I'm not including, because I just wanted a read on this one incident. Thnks.

I think it's pretty weird personally. IDK if I'd call it sexual abuse but I dont' think there is need to go into graphic detail about a$$ sex and bashing on homosexuals to your son.

Definitely not something I would impress on my kids, but don't think I'd call it abuse. Maybe a little ignorant and uneducated(on how it would affect your mind), but that's probably it.

EDIT: Too much information.

Thnks for your responses.
