"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.

What to do when a chick wants to listen to her music instead of yours. Use to encounter this problem in vehicles and at parties.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Swat her hand away from the radio and tell her no. Trust me man. I blew it with some girl over the summer and I attributed it to this. Now, that sounds weird, but, my friends in the car thought the same thing. I let her put on her girly dance dance stuff. Now I don't let a woman touch the thing. Maybe rarely, but definitely not early on. You wouldn't go putting on your music in her car, and she's doing it as a subtle little **** test to see how pliable you are. My first instinct is to not care, but I know better.

I try to avoid it by finding chicks with similar musical tastes to my own, not all of them are into all that pop garbage.

Anyhow, the rule is that you don't touch the driver's radio: PERIOD. Doesn't matter if it's a chick or a dude riding in my car, you keep your hands off of the stereo unless you want to start walking instead.

He (or she) who drives...everybody knows that. Since I rarely am not driving when with a woman it's usually me.

Usually at a party people want to listen to girly dance music or hip hop. Not my choice but if it's what the people want it is good manners to go with what your guests want.
 

"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.
