"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 do you guys think of women that talk to you on the phone,

one day with very high emotion, with the "baby" n "sugar" n "i miss you" in every conversation.

To the next day being very aloof and absolutely NO emotional connection at all. As in "Hey, how you going?"

Texts also having the same up and down emotion.

In fact some days it changes between 3 to 4 hours.

Personally when i have come across this situation with women, i put her on the back burner.
Although i do understand that some days, some of them may just be having a bad day, however that should not be reflected on me.

So this is what i do, I reward her when she is being nice, and take my attention away when she is not being so nice.

Is that fair?
Most girls get fixed when they notice i end phone calls quickly and avoid replying texts or emails on the days when they are not being nice.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

What do I think? That's going off the typical female mood swing orbit. Crazy chick, drama queen, scratch her off relationship potential list, do not get emotionally involved. I like to play it safe for my mental well-being.

From what it sounds like, she probably **** testing you, she's seeing if you're going to be reactive to her.

The most reactive/needy you become with her, the more she'll resent you, so don't do it. No matter how compelled you feel to text her back or respond do her, don't do it. Just play it cool and just really STOP caring.

There's no need to punish/reward her for this type of behavior, she's just simply testing you, don't give in to it. Play it cool, keep your frame and if it's truly driving you insane, TALK TO OTHER WOMEN.
