"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.

Hello crew. I have been trying to contact Mr. Tomassi for some personal counselling, but even after to post 5 times in the forum it seems that I am not allowed to send him a PM. I don't even know if he is accepting consultation or if he is available for this kind of work. I love his writings so much and I need some guidance regarding some important decisions in my romantic life right now. Mr. Tomassi, if you are reading this, please contact me. Thanks a lot everyone!
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Careful. In real life he's a massage therapist. :D
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I think you need ten posts in order to be able to send PMs.

I have noticed that our Mr. T. is often remiss in replying to communiques, so you will need to persist.

Ok. My idea was a long term mentoring. And I was willing to pay, but I dont even know if the Mr. T works this way. I love his blog and read it every day! Anyways... Lets shoot the ****.

A little background from me. I am 36. Had three LTR (2 years each) in my 20s. Total AFC back then. Swallowed the red pill 5 years ago. Since them my lay count its 30 babes. I have been dating non-exclusively for the last 3 years, learning the game, improving the quality of the girls I date and of my lifestyle in general, working in my game every week etc...

6 months ago I met this 25 years old girl (solid HB 8) and after fighting and struggling not to like her, and continue to have only casual sex with her (she was into me hard since day one), she started to make me feel infatuated and melted the layers of ice that I managed to build around me in the last years. I started to give in and considering not to seeing other girls so often anymore. She never asked. I just considered that maybe I could try this if I want her to be exclusive with me too. I already ****ed with my ambiguous aura saying to her that I love her and want to be with her.

I was not looking for a new LTR, but I really love this girl and I feel I could try to be with her. As Mr T. would put, my romance was a product of plate spinning, and not a monogamous state goal that I was after. The thing is, will I be able to stop shagging other girls from my circle (there is one in special that is hard to let go, our chemistry is amazing)? Is this even worth it? Can I still work in my game outside the relationship and keep my sword sharp without ****ing with my integrity? I love the game and one thing I still would like to experience is one or two bootcamps with some instructors I enjoy (Tyler form RSD for example)? Is hard to let go of the seductor persona.

In general is a conflict between being monogamous or not. I would like her to be, so, shouldn't I do the same? The funny thing is, she is the first girl I care about this kind of ****. I never gave a **** if my girlfriends where ****ing other guys or not...

So many ****ing questions... But you guys asked for. hahaha.
 

"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'm probably old school when it comes to this type of stuff but I think you should NOT go exclusive with this girl especially when it is so obvious that you're open to gaming/plate spinning other potential women. And understand that I don't blame you. You're not a bad man for wanting one thing over the other.

You just need to be honest with yourself. Can you remain faithful with this girl? If not, then you shouldn't feel guilty about any decisions you may have to make. Trust me when I say this, this is not the first girl that's gonna make you feel like you need to give up the world for her and she's an angel and bla bla bla....

But if it is something you want to seriously give it a shot then go for it but understand that it probably won't last long because you make it really obvious that you're still interested in seeing what's out there.

Hmmm... So you have had your share, dated chicks casually, slept with them, broke their hearts ( totally fine by me ), finally fell in love,

and now you are asking what

"the game" thinks whether you give in to this one girl.

Have an LTR, brother. Go on. To hell with it.

It won't kill you

:)

Don't break your heart though.

You sound a tad obsessed with this thing, exactly counting numbers and such,

rest assured, nobody cares in the bigger frame of things. It's your life.

You define it.

This line worries me. Is she wanting the LTR, has she brought it up with you?

As far as having a relationship, hell with it, do it, but just remember as you are in the relationship that you have options, keep the frame. But, she has to want the relationship with you beyond just casual sex.

Plutoman raises an extremely valid point. Has SHE indicated any interest whatsoever in a monogamous relationship with you? If no, then perhaps you're putting the cart ahead of the horse on this one Billy. Do not drop the other plates in your life until SHE is the one asking for Monogamy.

She never asked at first but it seems to be into right now. Saying she knows she wants to be with me etc, etc... But you are right, let her ask for more if she wants. My main challenge is to keep my frame and control my emotions. They seem a little turbulent right now.

You are totally right too BadNews, I am conscious about that and I will follow your advices in this issue. Let her want to be in it. She says she is scared to ask questions about me, cause obviously our morals and view points about fidelity are different (maybe this means that I am sub communicating who I am the right way, being non available and relatively icy...) I gotta a feel that this girl was crushed hard in the past, and I suspect she could had being rapped to. But this is not a issue right now, I feel she is totally invested and even that I gotta huge influence over her soul.

My mistake really was put the cart ahead of the horse, telling her that I wanted to be with her and trying to calm her down about "infidelity" issues. My bad. Don't know if I can fix this and step back to my mysterious and uncertain status that had her imagination boiling. I did not promise nothing, just said that I wanted to be with her and I could stop ****ing around (how big of idiot am I? hahaha)

I will try to maintain my abundance mentality, detach a little from this love feelings, play it slow, keep gaming some more, and seeing my other plates. Pony (lets call her this) is travelling with her family in the new years eve and I called Camilla (the siren with amazing chemistry that is soooo devoted and obsessed about me) to spend the final week of the year with me. This will help to dissipate all my insecurities and lesser alpha worries.

Maybe I will be in the LTR with Pony, but I need to take one step back, play it smooth, and see if it works out nice. Right now, I feel like a chode in love. I dont want be a total nihilist, maybe I can have a nice relationship. Lets see. THANKS A LOT FOR YOU GUYS. Really, I feel that I have some good friends that are not AFC and I can chat with.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

not here. in the real world.
From the first essay, "True power isn’t controlling others, but the degree to which you control the course of your own life and your own choices."

I dig this man. Sometimes I get confounded in life as there's always a bigger monkey in the cage and to truly be 'top dog' I think is impossible (I have no desire to be top dog anyways). But rather than live in a jungle mentality of "outcompeting" others or AMOGing, your words are true. Focus on thyself.
 

"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.
