"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 you get laid in the woods and nobody hears you, did you still get laid?
 

"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.

:rolleyes: And I thought the education system was merely bad these days...
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Well, as an actual philosopher (Master's, going on for a Ph.D.), it seems to me to depend on what branch of philosophy you're interested.

The existentialists, the social philosophers, and the political philosophers tend to do pretty well for themselves when it comes to women.

The metaphysicians, the epistemologists, and the logicians don't seem to do that well for themselves.

I don't think this distinction has to do with the type of philosophy they study... rather, I think that those with more social personalities are drawn to the more social types of philosophy. Similarly, I think that AFCs are drawn to the more abstract reaches of philosophy. They aren't social to begin with, so they don't see as much of a need to study the more social branches.
