"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.

The Salsa clubs, I have to hit one of those soon, maybe this weekend as a matter of fact. Never been to one, but I can imagine the amount of hot chix crawling in those places. :yes: I have an agenda. :D
I can not tell you how much learning to Salsa has added to my game. When I think about it it creates confidence, charisma, ****iness & sensuality. Talk about being able to command a woman's attention! It definitely boosts a guy's marketability!:up:
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I was never into them, however, I love music and dancing so now and then I'd go. I really enjoyed dances in college more ... heck, do they even have dances in college? Sheesh, I'm getting old.

Funny, I was in Seattle a couple weeks ago with my (unhappily married) friends. We walked around the clubs and all three of us felt out of place.

One thing I noticed -- now remember, this is the angry Northwest -- women in packs of four or five walking to the clubs, all with frowns and a business look. We must have passed 100 women, not one was smiling or happy. They really put their defenses up -- at least in the Northwest, perhaps because there's more guys than girls. I thought clubbing was supposed to be fun.

I do know when you cold approach in coffee shops or grocery stores or bookstores, women are surprised and they do not have their defenses up or excuses made. ("my friend is waiting for me," etc.) It's probably different in other places in the country, but no, I've never missed the club scene and always have done better outside of it, but to each his own.

Im only pushing 26, but Ive been over 'the scene' for a while, at least as far as picking up women. I never liked the club thing, just doesnt fit my personality. I still like to go to a bar now and then with friends, have a few pops and shoot the proverbial breeze, but I would much rather go to a low-key place and sit down with some chill music than be in that obnoxious trendy-rap-booty-shake environment.
But, as they say, to each his own.

A friend of mine from h/s SWEARS by the salsa thing.

He's a CPA and when he goes out at night he wears the same clothes he wears to work. Buttoned up Polo shirt tucked in to pleated Dockers. He stands like he has a stick up his ass. Yet somehow he managed to pull a Costa Rican hottie who happens to be sweet as hell. Maybe I need to give the salsa thing a try......

I'm so into salsa now that it is a major factor in my decisions on where to move. The thing about salsa, if you are a good dancer is you quite simply have access to more women.

The early stages, getting to know a chick, getting a number, getting early dates is almost forced upon you in that scene. Girls will be much more open to you in that scene. They will start asking you for your number. Shooting fish in a barrel.
 

"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.
