"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.

props!! great posts

nice to see some really good posts flooding the forums again

I'll start doing my part again, or at least doing my best, lol
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Yes you have posted a good thread on how to destroy phobias when it comes to women, but I wish you went over how to destroy social phobias in order to make friends, male and female. Especially male ones, so that you can have "wingmen" when on the hunt for woman.

same principles apply, lencour

The same principles apply for meeting any friends, lencour. In fact, I find it easier to make interesting conversation with men, because of more common interests, in general.

Just focus on the conversation sections.

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

icehot is on the money. Everyone from newbies to masters must read this! I have read alot of posts and this is the only one I feel deserves a sticky. But until the mods take action, I guess we will have to settle for cruder methods such as the infamous.......

BUMP!!!

Extremely high quality post! Whenever I feel this site comes to a new low, right then someone posts something like this to totally change my opinion. We need more posts like these.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Excellent! Add a "Do xx cheesy cold approaces week yy", and you have a new social bootcamp!
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Hail Mr. Fingers!

wow man, I really like the stuff you right about. I find it both interesting theory and fun reading! I must say that I agree with leoncour when he commented about not just working on chicks but making male friends too. The topic of finding new male friends has interested me. I am, over the summer, going to embark upon a massive social proofing program. I am going to try to become that social butterfly, who everyone knows, who everyone likes, who everyone is excited to see. I basically am going to try to meet everyone in my city, I have a big smile on my face just thinking about it, it is going to be great fun; but, of course, I am not experienced with being very social so I am going to have some trouble in the beginning and your posts help me a great deal. I like what you write because it is not just about banging a bunch of girls, it is about becoming a more socially powerful and interesting person.

Another plane of existence
I have been lurking on this site for months now. THis is my very first post. I am using it to say THANK YOU, Mr. Fingers. I have read many great posts here, but this one has changed my life! I dont like to get all mushy and whatnot, but I LOVE YOU MAN!

ahem. in a brotherly way of course!

I hate to just follow the crowd and say waht everyone else here says so you know my words are sincere. thanks again and i hope you post more of this gold!

BTW..if you ever find yourself on another plane of existence, give me a call and we'll do lunch!

:D
 

"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.
