"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.

Best use of time

I'm a salesman who commutes to work. There and back, the journey takes up about 3 hours of my day. In the morning, i feel run down and bored when i get to work which is a bad footing to begin selling on, and in the evening, I can do very little when i get back because I get home around 9.30. I want to make good use of that time, which i generally waste just reading the paper.
What's some good resources, be they books, music, podcasts, things to actually do, to make the best use of that time so I arrive at work more focused, and can educate myself going home rather than just feeling wiped out?

I see guys on here talk about audiobooks by people like Tony Robbins, Zig Ziglar and that type. What's the material like, and are any of them worth listening to?

No recommendations ignored, particularly not form other salesmen.
 

"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.

... and Brian Tracy. They're awesome salesmen. Their speeches are so descriptive and positive. Deffinetly a great way to start the day selling.

Why don't you pick up one of their CDs from the library or ThePirateBay.org?

I second the Brian Tracy recommendation. He's got dozens of CD programs that each are 10 or 12 CD's long. Brilliant stuff.

I used to live near a place called "Talking Book World," where you could rent CD courses like that.

If you want specific sales stuff, there's plenty of NLP tape programs that you can get and listen to. I'd recommend anything from maxpersuasion.com, although they are bit pricey.

Have a look at nightengaleconant, they've got loads of stuff.
