"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.

Canadian man, please stand up for your dignity in media

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I believe everything I see on TV. The writer is unable to use the English language correctly - he is obviously unable to observe the humor in whatever commercials he is watching as well.

This was a waste of my time and has nothing to do with Canadian men or their dignity. Television is one thing, I see nothing wrong with how the average Canadian man "stands up for his dignity" in my day to day interactions with them.

The frustratingly broken English aside, does make a good point that many commercials, sitcoms and movies portray men as imbeciles.
And yes, I'm amazed at how often make characters are ridiculed, chastised and abused by their wives, work colleagues and daughters.
There's an insurance company in Australia called RACQ. YouTube their tv ads and see how often they portray men as mindless dolts who need women to pull them into line.
Refreshingly, there's another company called Budget Direct car insurance which regularly features an older man dating a hot young French chick.
She pronounces "Budget" as "boojay" and he constantly chides her, saying: "It's budget, love".
I'm sure it's a subtle dig at RACQ's man shaming ads.

Of course, the femcvnts in Australia jumped all over the Budget ads, firstly for portraying a "dirty old man" with a hot young woman, and secondly for making fun of her French pronunciation of "boojay".
Thankfully, there were a few of us who protested on social media and pointed out RACQ's ads. Sanity was restored.

Seriously, check out most television programs' portrayal of male characters. And in movies - even hard-fighting epics like Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings - and see how women come and save the day after the men get themselves stupidly into trouble.
Then the latest remake of Robin Hood had Maid Marian swinging a sword in the final battle.
It's a goddamn joke.
