"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.

So I was browing the ads on craigslist.com for my area lookin for something, when I noticed a section called LTR. A discussion about LTR's ensues...how many red flags can you spot? DONT let this be you!

***

I Married this most wonderful and beautiful woman who I love dearly. I found out recently about somethings in her past which make me think differently not about her but why she kept them from me. Along with that I found out she has pictures and Video of her and her past out on the internet and I dont know why the hell its bothering me so much.

Also dont get me wrong I still love her to death it doesnt change how I feel about her. Just something in my head that wont go away.

I dont care what she did REally i dont...hell Most of her past I find is quite a turn on to me actualy. I love her more then any other woman. And actualy all her ex's shes told me are *******s to her and only used her.

Some sympathetic girl suggests:
you could always just vent your frustrations in the bedroom. My ex and I always found that to be a fun way to get rid of stress. ;)

but........
I would but shes not wanting to have sex with me......as per her words "your no fun any more."

Shes been really distant lately and just out of it not talking to me just holding up on her own and when we go to sleep she doesnt let me cuddle up with her and she wont come close to me no matter what I do she yells at me to stop touching her its making her sick.
 

"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.

I counted 8

1-Beautiful/wonderful (He has a BAD case of oneitis.)
2-Her past not disclosed.
3-Pervoiusly posted pics/videos on the net
4-Says all past ex's were a-holes/users (Is she attracting losers/bad boys?)
5-Refuses sex
6-Emotionally withdrawn
7-Physically withdrawn
8-Equates physical touch with feeling sick.

This "wonderful" woman of his is exibiting text book examples of sexual abuse/rape. She needs serious therapy and LOTS of it. My guess is after years of Bad Boys and their nasty ways, she found a "nice guy" and snapped him up hoping to make her life better. But when he showed that he was sexually attracted to her, it disgusted her, because it showed that he was only a guy after all. I'll bet he's heard "You're just like all the rest!" a time or two as well.

Therapy....lots and lots of therapy.

Let me get this straight, before hubby she was poked more times than a pin cushion and now she refuses sex to her hubby?

She is definately seeing at least one guy on the side and as soon as she finds a guy that she thinks could be long term than hubby is gone. My guess the woman is leaving clues right and left that she is cheating and hubby is too blind to notice.

Notice to hubby: Those used condoms next to the bed aren't yours from 6 months ago.
 

"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.

Sounds like you got some black/white splitting going on here...

Sounds like some sort of Personality Disorder? Many good threads on this, do a search.

Symptoms sound consistent with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

One of my friends who is now divorced had a wife who suddenly had remembered some painful experiences in her past. She had been raped by her uncle. She never really knew. I guess it was some hidden memories which she found out to be true from her mom.

In any event, she didn't have sex with my friends for 2 years. They went to counseling and tried to work it out but couldn't.

Now my friend has moved on. He still loves her, but knows it will never workout.

In the meantime with my help and other friends he's become the biggest player I know. He has natural skills which certainly help.

It's tough when a woman your with has a bad past. Doesn't mean it can't work out, but it's very difficult.
