"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 normally wear polo style collar shirts, but I picked up some button up dress shirts. I know this is stupid, but what's the casual way to wear these? Do you leave the 2 sides of the collar buttoned down? How do you fold the collar? How far up do you button the shirt? Pics if possible. Thanks for the tips.
 

"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.

Shirts that enable you to button down their collar are a "Knigge" no go! Next time go for the shirts without button down collar ;)

Griz can you find a pic of the type of shirt you're talking about? Thanks.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I leave the top 3 unbuttoned, usually to show some chest hair but really because I got a chain and I like it. And depending on the weather, I'll either roll up my sleeves or keep them down. It's really a personal decision.

If you have pale skin, a white shirt is good as it darkens your complexion.

Wear it with a good pair of jeans that flows with the shirt you are wearing, and wear a white T-shirt inside of it while leaving the first 2 buttons of your dress shirt undone.
It's also a great time to show off a nice piece of jewelery around your neck. ;)

I never wear a T-shirt inside my shirts. Women like to see some skin too.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
