"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.

at a court date, and they've already got a warrant out for you and so you show up to court anyways. Do you still go to jail? Because ****ing, I didnt appear at court but they rescheduled for 7/11/06 and on that date i called in to make sure and they said they didnt have it scheduled and a warrant was out for my arrest since 6/20/06. they ****ed me over and so I'm going to court tomorrow morning to see what my options are rather than being out in the free and getting pulled over and going to jail for sure...
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

You might get arrested, so be prepared. I missed my court date for traffic court one time and the had a warrant out on me, so I just showed up to open court and the option to pay on the spot, enter financial probation, or go to jail.

I ended up going through financial probation because I didn't have any money, and still didnt pay them. Three years later I get a call from a probation officer telling me that I was going to have a bench warrant, so I showed up and paid my debt and all was well.

Bring your toothbrush with you, you'll probably need it.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Like I said, they just want your money. Pay up, and jump through their hoops. Breaking probation is a good way to go to jail. AF out west got 18 months for driving with a suspended license after a dui.

whats financial probation
You have to report to there office and pay them money, and your probation ends when once everything is paid off. It isn't anything serious they try to scared you. You will find mostly poor people in financial probation that have the choice of either buying food for their family or paying off their traffic ticket.

Just pay them their money and bounce.

Oh god I went to court today and I ahd to go to court in a different town.....a way different town. ARKANSAS INBRED STEREOTYPICAL ppl all in this courtroom. I was the only person decent enough to wear appropriate attire for court. Everyone else either came in their pajamas, work clothes, or AC/DC t shirts. the court room had no A/C and everyone smelled of B.O. ahhh aweful experience.

Yea I gotta go to court in the near future for a traffic ticket, I sure hope it's nothing like that. I don't think Iowa is too much worse than Arkansas.
