"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I was watching this, and it got me interested:

 

"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.

A long time ago, I went to look at a used car. I looked at the oil, and it was like chocolate milk. I tried to explain to the young woman that her head gasket was failing. She was furious and drove off in a fit of rage, because she thought I was trying to take advantage of her. Then the car broke down about a mile down the road. I only know that because her mother, whom I had never met or talked to before, called me the next day to apologize profusely for her daughter. "She's a hard working single mom and all she needs is a good man in her life."

The last time a mom tried setting me up with her daughter was a few years ago when I was just starting my lawn business. She was one of my first customers. She hated her daughter's current boyfriend and tried to talk me into going on a date with her. I was married at the time and I don't think the daughter wanted anything to do with me anyway.

Probably, can't remember specifics, but when I was single (or "between girlfriends"), people in my social circles would often try to set me up with someone.

These girls were chronically single for a reason!

Usually it's because their standards are way too high.
Sometimes they are just not feminine (especially the career focused).
Or they simply don't want a relationship, for whatever reason (eg they haven't finished playing the field, or they're still getting over their last breakup)

{Did end up in a relationship with one.
Sincerely hope she found her prince charming.. because she's allergic to cats!}

On a couple of occasions we talked about the attempts to ship us and decided that we didn't mesh and could have a laugh about it, then go our separate ways and not waste any more time/effort.

But generally, I became very disillusioned at the abysmally low standards in women my social circles expected me to have.
Some things have always been the same..
