"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

*sigh*

I just don't ****ing get it.

We hang out (known each other forever, were sorta getting back to where we were before we cut off contact from each other a few months ago). She tells me she had a good time, blah blah... So I call her saturday night, to invite her along for something I'm doing.

"I was out with my friends all day. I just wanna stay home tonight. I have off thursday (meaning she'll come out wednesday). Don't be mad."

So I call tonight.

"I was out with one of my co-workers (some chick, I heard her in the background) for dinner. I was just about to call you and let you know that I was just planning on staying home tonight. I know we sorta made plans (we didn't). Don't be mad."

I'd rather her just not answer the phone rather than shovel around these horse**** excuses, and why is she so concerned with me being mad? Why does she try to keep me on the phone so long, to tell me about her boring day?

I told her I'd call her this weekend, but I already made plans with someone who better appreciates my time. It's too damn bad, as I really liked this one.

**** it.
 

"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.

Now, I am not a master don juan or a guru, but all I can tell you that if you have not been talking, fvckin, or dating for at least two years, dont have any amount of feeling for her, PERIOD. What you do, is everyday in your spare time, go out and get women. I have been reading Pooks articles and they have helped me become more of a man, but I am having a problem sealing the deal with women as far as sex is concerned, so I think seduction would work for me. Hey, you wanna start a boot camp? My goal is 20 approaches a week, 12 number closes, 6 date setups, and 2-3 fvcks. Come on, what do you say?

Why did she say ¨dont be mad¨?

Cause she likes you as a friend.

Next her.

Maybe in a month or 6 call her again (but you wont, since you´ll have better ass).

No thanks to the bootcamp thing. I don't have time these days. That's why this pisses me off so much. I set aside some time for her, and she blows me off so she can sit at home and watch TV or sleep (and trust me, that's what she's doing right now, probably eating a sandwich so she can get fatter and be more miserable). How boring. Good luck to you though.

As for nexting her, I've done that about four times so far. She always comes back, apologizing the whole way, only to agonize me further. I don't know what to do as far as ridding myself of her for good. You wouldn't believe the lengths that I've gone to burn that bridge.

Don't reciprocate any calls/e-mails. You just said you called her... why?
 

"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.
