"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.

Do you think that the dearth of good, full-time work will make betabuxxing come into vogue again?

I was reading this, and it got me thinking:
Unemployment is low because a massive number of new jobs today are part-time gig-economy jobs. Part-time "underemployment" has, statistically replaced the mass unemployment we remember from the 1980s. As Johnson says: "A majority of people who are classified as poor now live in a household where someone is in work.
It would seem that the old paradigm of having to marry a good provider - which has been cast to the side, at least by women in their sexual prime - could come back in the form of the relatively few men that hold time a good full-time job being looked upon as the prudent choice.

Or maybe this is just wishful thinking, and the brutal reality is that ... it's over. :down:
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I don't know. You must act Quick when it all comes down. Right now, looks like it could go on forever due to phony dolla printing (really cheap now cuz don't even have to use paper just type in 1s and 0s into THEIR OWN bank accounts or "accounts"). We are being taken for a Ride, and who knows when that ride will end (in our lifetimes)? I have a bad feeling that those of us who are "prudent" and have "saved" for Winter and many Many rainy days, are going to get punished just as much as the debtors. What is a safe haven? Pvssy is a safe haven.
