"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.
Do you think this short man should accept this offer of being "friends"?

"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.

I would tell her I would gladly be friends with benefits.

"dont give up, you're not gonna make some woman happy one day, she is out there"
I'm sure it was a patronizing, superficial, paternalistic line like that one to give those incel spree killers the last push they needed.
When they say a man that they have no attraction for him, its not the best news in the world but we can deal with that...
On the other side the lets just be friends line or some lines like that one above, basically tells a man that he is not even a man...more like a puppy or a toy.
I've been told countless time that I'm an assh0le and that they hope I die, zero fvck given actually...but some line like that would really strike me hard.

I'd do what I've done before when faced with that, told her to fvck right off.
