"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 started using this site while I was in college to help me improve my skills with women and people in general. That was 5 years ago.

After sharpening my skill, I eventually snagged a terrific woman and had a serious relationship with her for about 3 years (almost married her). Now that relationship is over and I'm looking to get back into the game.

But so much has changed. I'm older, chubbier, and in a new city. I used to prefer dating women 5-10 years older than me, but now I'm looking for a younger woman.

I know other men on here have gone through similar experiences. Any thoughts/Tips? I used to go to bars every weekend in search for prey (and was very successful), but I may have gotten rusty after having a reliable source of sex for 3 years.

I have a date this weekend with a younger woman. Do I just pick up where I left off?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Just pick up were you left off. It's like riding a bike - you don't forget how to ride. Just beware of being too needy - they smell that a mile away.

I agree, Ballie, one of the easiest mistakes to make when coming out of a relationship is acting like you are in a relationship.......

Be mysterious, funny, and keep your distance emotionally.....you'll be fine. Just remember that girls like a challenge. Its not that they are thinking about all this, its a natural thing.

you want the honest truth. just treat them badly, if you get back into a relationship, dump the girl at least once. you have to let them know you have all the power.

act like you don't give a hoot about them, develop your own passions and hobbies and you'll be good to go. be passionate about your work, education, life, etc. you don't NEED a woman.

i'm trying to get myself to this state of mind.
 

"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.

I been through the same thing several times. including right now

get back to working on yourself - body, mind and soul, and get out there. don't beat yourself up if your not in the 'game' from the get go - may take some time to develope that killer instinct again.
