"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 try to care about the size of my new white T-shirts, heh. Either rather well-fit/tight or more casual. In either case it’s a slim fit, I got athletic build.

In my world it’s fvck boy on one extreme, and unnoticeable casual on the other. I’m currently leaning towards the former: rather make an impression than being ordinary like others. So, rather sexy and a slight attitude. On the other hand it can come across as a try-hard, sleazy, the frat boy.

In any case, it’s not that big deal, but the devil is in the detail, as we know. How do people reason about these things?

Be a fucck boy. You'd rather be associated with being a try-hard, sleazy, frat boy than a run of the mill, unspectacular beta male.

I was teen during the 90's when loose and baggy was very in. Looking back at some of the pics I have I lol. I only wear looser shirts/pants when I work out because its comfortable. The rest of the time my clothes is more fitted, even tshirts. You honestly look better.

To each their own though

Loose is very in at the moment. I own a loose black hoodie that I wear very often and gets me approached by very attractive girls. That being said my 2nd favorite top, is a tight fit, tee from psycho bunny that accomplishes the same. So basically wear whatever, when you look yourself in the mirror think, "goddamnnn I look good"
 

"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.

The nice thing about casual is that it doesn't seem try hard. But as you say, it doesn't make you noticeable either. If you can make an impact with your personality, I guess that doesn't matter.
