"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.

When looking for the ideal gift, I can't imagine much better than an organic spice rack (costs only about $65).

1) It won't seem cliche or overly romantic like chocolates.
2) It's quite affordable (about the ideal price for a gift).
3) A spice rack with the world's finest spices (buy non-Irradiated) will provide her a kitchen centerpiece.
4) It will inspire her to learn how to cook.
5) It will keep her fit and healthy (home cooked meals are the key).
6) It will remind her of you for years (the jars are refillable).
7) You will provide countless sensual experiences as she combines them to make different meals.
8) Spices have high antioxidant and medicinal benefits (the healthier she is, the happier she is).
9) Spices will last practically forever and hold their value.
10) Spices have fragrant aromas, and many are known aphrodesiacs.

I just ordered 2. If you can think of any similar gifts post here.

Disclaimer: I do not make any commision from any spice companies. Just thinking of my Mom and Grandmother's kitchen.
 

"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.

Not a bad idea. I've always been kinda sucky with gifts.

I never give anything to women. Except sperm. If they don't treasure that gift, they don't deserve any other.

Give a woman a spice rack....if you want to be single. You way as well buy her an ironing board.

its agreed that we should only give her a gift if she deserves one but it has to be thoughtful and not something that says I have no clue what to buy so I bought you something you can use in the kitchen....unless this is still the 1950s.
