"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.

Try editing a post and click somewhere in the middle where you want to edit. Notice that (often times but not always here) the cursor appears in the upper left as the first character instead of where you clicked. Unless you double click your new characters do not go to the spot where you clicked. This is an easy fix for someone with the source code, but may not be possible if this a third party tool. I can't imagine they would have such an annoying issue.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I've edited several posts and went into editing mode on your own post here in this thread, and had no problem whatsoever. What browser are you using? Have you cleared your cache lately?

I'm using Internet Explorer. This thread works for me too but in the regular forum if I try to click and drag to select, I can't because of this issue. It takes 2 tries.

I'm still seeing this regularly, though not exclusively. When I go to edit a previously published post (pressing the Edit button that is), I click to where I want to type but (it just happened again now) - when I start to type the characters appear in the upper left part of the window (where the flashing cursor initially goes), and I have to delete it and click a second time and then it works.
 

"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 just can't seem to replicate it. I'll see if any of the other mods or Allen are seeing this.
