"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.

Did I sound serious? If so, I appologize :)
 

"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.

Study tonight's eposide carefully (Feb 2nd).

In this eposide, just look at Wes. I find that near-incredible how he changed that much. That's what a makeover could do. Even the other guys weren't too bad looking.

Now, what seperated Wes from the others was how he presented himself. It was not entirely in looks, but it's all about how you carry yourself. Even the beauties, commenting on how 'sophisticated and hot' he was, only a small amount of that was the looks, because if he said some of the things the other guys said, he'd be just as chumpish.

Just a point to note, looks mean VERY little in comparison to presentation.

My friend worked for the WB last year. Some of the "geeks" are actors fakin' the funk. He saw them come in to "audition" and even worked on some aspects of the show.

One of the blond girls from that show from season 1 used to work out at my gym.

Oh I wasn't offended :) I just don't like to see people follow the whole fictional character path.

The über-nerdy "white" erkel is TOTALLY fake.

I can spot the BS from a mile away, you can tell exactly when things are scripted.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Wow. Watch the museum curator dude to see exactly what kind of body language and mindsets to avoid. I'm watching right now and the guys were tasked with the challenge of getting chicks to come to their party and this guy is BLOWING at it. His body language is sooo bad; he's holding himself like a praying mantis instead of a human being.

Did you know that a praying mantis could kill and eat a living mouse? It's on youtube somewhere....
