"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.

Are you feeling the pressure to "settle down"?

For you older DJs, like 30+ especially, I'm sure you see more and more of the people in your social network getting into serious relationships and talking about marriage. More people sort of giving up on the exciting and active life of the single person and sort of settling down.

I admit peer pressure can be strong and you can start to feel like you're being left behind sometimes. I even wonder occasionally what I'm doing at 33 trying to learn game and still going out to bars and clubs. How do you guys deal with some of these issues?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

No...my friends are just now hitting their first divorces and are looking to me for guidance now. I'm in the south, so if you're not married by 30, people look at you strange.

Only if you find the right girl with all the knowledge obtained at this site.

Only when your gut tells you it's right... if your gut doesn't agree... DIVORCE is imminent.

I think part of the 'settling down' desire is just a natural part of getting older, and much of it is peer-pressure/culture. A lot of folks (especially women) like to covertly shame the unmarried.

I don't feel any pressure. I wont say I never entertain thoughts of 'settling down'; and by that I mean settling into a certain part of the country and getting property, and a long-term gf. That's normal and natural, and I don't think we should be shaming DJs for having this desire. What I think is egregious is subscribing to the idea that if you don't "settle" into one woman by X age, you are behind the curve or there is something wrong. That's utter b.s. "Settling down", as it is understood colloquially, implies you are settling for a particular woman because that's what is expected of you.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Since I'm divorced, I don't get much of it. But some, all women have a divorced friend that they think I need to meet[great like I want to deal with someone elses kids and fund their college too].
