"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 have to say, one of the things I'm thankful for, although I've been without a girlfriend for a while...I kind of have to chuckle...but not in a sadistic fashion...at my friends' yo-yoing relationship statuses on Facebook.

Just saw a dude, got married I think a couple of years ago...VERY new marriage, and all of a sudden...he's "separated" likely divorce is pending.

Me and another single male friend got to talking about other people and I recall this one guy who was dating, and they even moved in together this real hot 40-something Brazilian woman. Found out recently broke up, and she's on to a new guy already.

You tend to find out these things in your social circles and you can sympathize, but really....when hearing this you don't feel so bad about being single.

I mean think about it....for instance, let's say you've been unattached for 5 to 6 years, and your friends hook up, date each other for 2 years, then BOOM, they are broken up.

It's amazing the frequency of how many of my friends go in and out of very short term relationships or even marriages. The marriages REALLY make me wonder.

It's like "Great I haven't had a g/f in 6 years, but...I could be THOSE guys who probably had gone through the gauntlet of turmoil and heart ache"
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

It's a social expectation.

Last night I fvcked an HB 7.5 and she kept asking me if I was married. Now I'm as single as can be and look younger than my age but she just expected me to be married. If you hit 30 you think oh crap gotta tie the knot now and make bad decisions.


Luckily I don't feel the need to get married right now. Being single for a long time isn't that bad when you consider the downsides of marriage.

I'm also talking about just relationships in general. I have to laugh at these short term (2 to 3 year) relationships that fizzle quickly during the course of my long dry spell without women.

Agreed 100%

A friend of mine told me: '' It's when you are in a LTR that you wish you were single.''

I remember alot of people in LTR wishing to be ''free''

I've been single for 2 years... don't regret it at all... sure some LTR stuff I miss but damn I am free.

Also, I believe alot of people in our generations or time... don't have the will to ''committ'' or to ''adapt'' ... they break apart at the first symptoms of fight, lost of ''lust'', and where they have to ''adapt/compromise''

LTR are 2 people, so you always have to consider the other... alot of people fail at that now.

What is important is that you are happy in your situation
 

"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.
