"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.

After having had some severe hormonal disbalancement for most of my teenhood that's been sorted out I've begun suffering from constant soreness. My muscles make me feel more pain than for the average guy, and it made me always focus on the negative and scary sides of things. It's also at times very hard to deal with celibacy because of the strain this puts on me. Also rarely I'll start having strange heartburn when the temperature changes that I cannot explain even if my diet is mostly healthy.

While I've learned not to take such feelings seriously and while I live a good life, it remains very, very, very annoying. Sometimes the climate will change spontaneously and my body will become sore and make me feel like **** and there's nothing I can seemingly do about it other than to let some time pass.

Light painkillers produce absolutely no effect. All the physicians I've consulted so far have been completely clueless. It was way more severe say five years ago, and it has faded a bit since then.

I'd like new ways to cope with this pain. If I take heavy painkillers sometimes it will produce the desired soothing effect, some other times it will produce next to nothing. I'm tired of feeling so constantly numb and extenuated, sometimes it becomes almost impossible to do any kind of effort. Sometimes in class I was forced to leave at the break because I couldn't stand sitting around on a chair anymore, the boredom and the inactivity killed me.

I've weighted lifts intensively for a few months and it does seem to help a bit, but I still feel this tired. Blood tests, hormonal tests... in fact every kind of routine test that modern medicine can give me are normal.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Try more veggies in your diet.

Go vegetarian with plenty of raw foods for a couple of weeks. If this helps you out, then you need a better diet.


I'm not saying go vegetarian, that would be a bad, bad idea. You need the animal proteins. 2 weeks won't hurt though.


I've found this helps with my energy levels. The simpler, rawer the foods, the better.

15g of salmon oil/cod liver oil plus a capsule of vitamin E every day for a couple months should produce some results. The fish oil has an anti-inflammatory effect on the body and while perhaps not curing anything, will certainly help some with the pain.

Yeah I took cod liver oil in the past at some point which I mixed with yogurt, I don't remember changes but I really didn't consume it steadily. Imma also go to the grocery and buy packs of cut vegetables and berries to make sure I have a steady supply. Nuts too.

I try to eat chicken, pork and eggs as frequently as possible. Unfortunately some times I give in and buy **** like chocolate or candy, as it seems that succumbing to such a whim makes me feel less sore. I make sure that this is the exception rather than the staple of my diet, though.
