"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.

This show is really f*cking awesome. Awesome characters, smart and witty humor and great story development.

The main character though, is like the school example of a ladies man. Main part of the story: he's got a kid with a woman he's still in love with. She's gonna get married to some other guy but she's still in love with him really. Throughout the show he pursuades her and tries to get her back. In the meanwhile he pretty much f*cks everything that moves. Really cool to watch how this character handles the girls in the show. He's the perfect example of the bad boy-style, and he pulls it off wonderfully.

Really one of the best shows that's on right now. Aside from what I've written above here, it's really ****ing worth it to watch it for the story too. Again, it's an awesome show. I'm going to watch the season's finale tomorrow.
 

"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 put my vote in with Snowdog -- fantastic show, awesome main character. Good stuff all around.

The main character is a weird mix of major AFC and badass though. Still, for all his AFCness, he doesn't take other people's **** at all, and with the random chicks he hooks up with he's got major game.

I don't know what you are really talking about but it sounds ok.

One of my favorite quotes is from The Jon Dore Television Show.

(Jon's @ a clinic)
Jon: Do you have to be celibate before you come here?
Doctor: No, that is just a myth.
Jon: So in theory, you could be celibate for a year before you come here. Wouldn't you blow the roof off this god damn place?
 

"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.
