"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.

Well Ive been cutting/ dieting for about month now and I have gotten great results. I havnt been lifting weights, I have been doing body weight stuff mostly. My diet for the past month has basically been:
6 meals a day every 3 hours. Ranging from 250-350 calories.
I stoped eating fast food and crap food in general, lowered my milk intake, drink more water.
So on average I have been eating about 1800-2000 calories daily.

But how good has it really worked you ask? Well I weighed 200 lbs average every morning. Now I am at about 190. I have lost 10 lbs in 1 month.

Is this about how fast you other guys cut? Cause I am planning on weighing 165 before I begin to bulk back up (September?)
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Aim for 1lb fat loss per week (fat loss, not weight loss), that's healthy given your current weight. Don't be in a hurry unless you wanna lose muscle too.

Ive been losing it seems about 2 per week (Ive been going for 5 weeks).
Is ths too fast? Also will I really lose that much muscle? I was about 25% bf and really Im just aiming to drop that to about 11-13%.

I can already see myself looking more toned and would like to look my best asap but not unhealthily.

The diet I have is clean and I work out 4 days a week.

2lbs a week is good when were/are at 25%, now that you're sub-200 I'd say 1lb a week is easier on your system and more maintainable though.

and it doesn't matter what we say, if you feel good with your weightloss then it's going fine for you. :)

Ok thanks for clearing that up. Im aiming for maximum fat loss so Im gonna try and stay with 2 lbs a week. Of course now that Im losing so fast Im gonna make sure I have the best diet. Im gonna start to be more strict with sugar and stuff so that I know Im going at it the healthiest way.
 

"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.

ok I do not know how to measure if I am losing fat :(

also I eat about 2500-3000 calories a day and I weight like 165. I am trying to cut my %bf to 12% by the end of summer (20% now) so will I still lose weight if I eat that much? according to fitday I burn about 3500+ with jumprope and weightlifting included
