"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 saw this woman, she had a cute face...all pics were selfies. We started chatting online. But then I noticed all her selfies were taken above her head.

So I went to look her up on FB, dammit, every SINGLE photo she has is a selfie...NOTHING from the waist up. She covered all basises. lol. I did though, however, saw a straight on head shot, from the chest up...and she looked a little bit chubbier than the rest of her selfies...so it has me worried.

Sounds like she made an effort even on social media to hide her weight, yes?
 

"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.

Hiding weight? Lol!:p

She's only going to disappoint any prospects that are not "chubby chasers".

it's called the fat girl angle shot, invented long ago, when myspace was popular
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I met a chick on Bumble once. I learned just what the "Myspace Angles" and portrait-only shots hide. This chick and I meet up and she's at least twice my size. Not to mention the frumpy white blouse she was wearing. Her forehead and top of her hair were drenched and her shoulders are neck area were clearly damp with sweat. It was an average, summer day. She texted me the next day saying it was a really nice date (no, it wasn't). I was polite and told her there wasn't any chemistry between us.

Yeah I've been burned twice now on selfies that were out of date. Banged both of them anyway but still, I was less than pleased when these girls showed up looking nothing like their pictures taken in college.

I call it the Fangle (the fat angle.)
