"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.
Bands.
- Thread starter Maeisgood
- Start date
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Yes sir, you must be in a band to be a DJ. It is a must. (sarcasm)
There is something about musicians that turns girls on. There is also a line between being emotional in songs an in conversations.
Isn't music a way to express how you feel? It doesent have to be about love or anything, but emotion must still be present.

None of that sissy boy crap. <-- Chicks who like pansy boy bands still have to mature (anyone who listens to NSYNC should be shot). Performing in a [good] band, just like sporting piercings and tough tattoos, is associated with having balls - masculinity. That's part of the reason. The other, larger part is FAME.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

That... and the reason that everyone else likes them and they're on TV.Pretty much some of them are confused because they know that the lyrics are really wussy and they still listen to it.
Also remember.... These guys are unreachable... Completely untouchable in any way by these girls. So their words mean a lot more to them than just any guy saying that.
Another one..... They like to listen to them because it reminds them of themselves and how much power they have over men. And situations like that.
That's about all i can think of for now.
