"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.

This is probably known to all of you, but it is scientifically proven to work.

If any of you get depressed from time to time or have history of it, please exercise rigorously atleast 4 times a week.

I think the exercise needs to be somewhat rigorous, a slow jog or walking does not cut it. You need to lift weights, do some hardcore running or pushups.

I was down in the dumps all day today until I decided to go to my old high school and run the bleechers. This is an intense workout that really makes your legs go numb, as well as make you very winded.

However, after doing this on and off for 1/2 hour, my mood went from down in the dumps to MODERATELY HAPPY! It is amazing..............
 

"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.

another widely recommended regimen around here that potentially helps with depression is getting your EFAs from fish oil.

a fast walk / hike up hills can be just as intense as anything else, and produce the same high.
