"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.

If the government takes takes takes and then returns something, it's not a handout in my book. Government by definition is the recipient of the handout, not the giver. Personally I'm tired of funding its habit, but c'est la vie.

Whether a reparation is a suitable allocation is fair to debate of course. Personally I really don't care; better than blowing it on some boondoggle.
Everything you said makes sense and I do agree that government takes takes takes. Trust me, I'm in one of the most heavily taxed areas and I hate the corruption, inefficiencies, mismanagement that happens with my tax dollars.
Due to my wife having massive losses in her business last year due to the pandemic, we were eligible for the stimulus and we got it. With 3 kids, you can do the math. Do I think it was a handout still? Hell yes. That is my view and I view it in an objective way. Not just when it will suit me or not like some people do. We can agree to disagree...
