"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.

I only check this board for the stuff A-Unit writes now. Substance, insight, breadth and unique views.
 

"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 like A-Unit, becuase he always brings something new and unique to the table. Rollo cracks me up with what he says sometimes, but he is always right.

Westcoaster is starting to grow on me a little as is MindOverMatter

Definatly can't leave out Star8up, does a great job covering investing and in all honestly, I never would have given Real Estate investing a second look if he didn't shove it down my throat every other post :) JK.. but in seriousness I am looking to invest in some real estate pretty soon and I owe it to his stubborness to drill it in our heads
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I actually just wrote this in a different thread concerning the bootcamp I'm about to go on, but a few acknowledgements of DJs that really saved my AFC back from oneitis these last few months via PM/email:

Joekker113 (man living with virtues as a knight)
SeldomSeen (introduced me to the 48 laws of power )
Backbreaker (two words: end game. I'll never forget that...)
Rollo T (explained my misconceptions of goal-state myth, falacy of one, desire dynamic and plate spin theory)
WestCoaster (helped me out with analysis/paralysis)
TrimReaper (personal break up story)
The Anti Dr. Phil (taught me chess tactics analogy to dating/kaiser soze methodology/behavioralism).
So pimp its scary (inner game goals)
A-Unit (awesome book recommendations bro!)

Overall, Joekker113. I really was bummed when he bounced from the board, because he wrote some great thought provoking threads. He saved the day via PM immediately when I was about to quarrel with my ex and the punk sailor that stole her away from me in the LDR I was in. Long story, but a lot know about it here... Thankfully that **** is over with and I'm sarging w/o a drink gaining confidence every weekend now, the DJ way. The tables are definately turning thanks to the help of the awesome DJs here. The board has really changed my life dramatically in the last few months.

First of all:
English is not my first language, so please be gentle with me...:rolleyes:

So, the poster who most definately had the biggest influence on how I look at the world was/is Rollo Tomassi (might also be because I enjoy reading the mature man's forum the most).
Most of the time his posts were dead on and one can draw a lot of wisdom from his texts.
2 thumps up for this man! :up: :up:

Also I'd like to add, there are lots of good poster with interesting ideas on the sosuave boards!
 

"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.

I swear A-Unit has a mini libary in his house. He can probably make a nice profit renting out books. I have some books but DAMN

I don't really have many favorites, other than myself:p, but I like anyone who doesn't post crap and posts good, consistent stuff.

I guess two guys that come to mind are Solid and Shezzler. Both these guys encourage FRs and for people to go out and get expereince, and I personally know that that is the best advice someone can give to anybody in order to make them better.

But just for fun, I am nominating myself, wavejams007.
