"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.

Do you guys like alcohol? I like to have a few beers before I date a woman and I like to feel loose. Is alcohol okay in moderation?
 

"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.

I avoid beer on dates or when going out to meet women, because hops is a powerful phytoestrogen and will tank your testosterone -- even in the short term.

On dates, I usually stick with vodka-seltzers or red wine, if the venue calls for it.

Sure, alcohol is okay in moderation on dates -- it's part of the fun of meeting someone new. I've made the mistake, many times, of "loosening up" before a date with some booze to numb the nerves, and getting too drunk. Nothing dries a woman's vagina up faster than being on a date with a man who is throwing them back.

"Does he need to be drunk to talk to women?"

"Does he need to be drunk to find me attractive?"

"Is he scared of women and that's why he's getting drunk?"

"Is he an alcoholic?"

"Ew, he's drunk."

I've fvcked up a lot of otherwise good dates with hot women simply by getting too drunk. You know your limits. If I find my mouth is starting to get rubbery when I talk, I've wayyy overdone it.

Yeah, I go out for beer. That's the purpose of being in a bar.
Occasionally they will have run out and then I drink ****tails.
Doesn't matter how drunk I get since I don't approach women
when I go out anyway. I'm there for the drinking.

To quote some C&W artist whose name escapes me at the moment:
I like beer; it makes me happy.
That said, the one thing the maturing man learns is that beer is the enemy of good sexual performance.

Beer is ok in small amounts. The phytoestrogenic elementic is bad. Phytoestrogens is why I've avoided the majority of products with soy or elements of soy (soy leitchin, soybean oil, etc). 1 beer with a meal likely won't impact sexual performance if the meal itself is well balanced nutritionally.
 

"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.

Beer is my Kryptonite. Pilsener... I tell you.

But I don't drink beer on dates. Rather a glass of wine or a sour bourbon. But that's the absolute exception. Only if she wants to drink something otherwise I stay sober.

Beer makes me tired. Two beers after work and I can go to bed.

Not for me. Frigging ice cream is the only vice I'm sort of "addicted" too and my kryptonite if you will . But a very controllable vice tho.
I don't eat sweats/candy and other unhealthy things and eat healthy/train at the gym etc.
But proper made ice cream is just too damn tasty. :p
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I do not drink beer. The worst possible drink a man can indulge in.
Why is this? Yesterday I bought 8 cans and I also bought a very nice bottle of gin.

I like drinking.
That being said, beer is a no-no for me before or on a date. If fks up your testosterone and makes you pee a lot eventually.
A gin and tonic or wine works in my favour on a date. And a little wine or 40% liquour before the date, if I feel too sober.

But if I'm not on a first/second date, I can have a few beers, no problem.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Michelob Ultra is the only beer I can drink anymore. One 24oz can is all I’ll allow. I wish the commercials weren’t so lame and marketed to fitness culture. It’s pretty good.

I used to drink heavily. Anything and everything. My body just can’t process booze like it used to.

I usually get some sort of “craft” _cocktail on dates.

Welp, these two beer commercials will never get old and are both hilarious and genius:
(See them in the right sequence with Heinken first)

First Heineken's Walk-in: :up: :cool:

and then second Bavarian's prank/spoof on Heineken's commercial (Which is priceless!) Ha ha lmfao :devil::rofl::rofl::whistle:

Now enjoy and profit!

Here that is again.
If that's true, then given how much I consume it's a wonder I don't have t1ts and a period
every few weeks...

I’m going to a German beer garden tonight to drink cold German Munich lager from a 2-pint tankard and eat warm buttered pretzels.

This place is packed with hot girls, but I’m going there to drink beer with my buddies. There’s no likely scenario where I will be charming and horny after 4+ pints of beer. College was long ago.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
