"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.

HallMark has a campaign pushing their 'Happy Father's Day Mom' cards on Father's Day. A middle finger to all the father's in their children's lifes or screwed over by the system. It pisses me off how badly the media characterizes men and how wrong this damn campaign is. There aren't any 'Happy Mother's Day Pa' cards, and rightly so cause' that sounds downright ridiculous.

What do you guys think?

And Happy Father's Day to you all.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Happy Father's Day everybody. I hope you are able to spend it with your children regardless of how the mother and courts may fvck you over.

That said there are A LOT of boys and girls out there growing up with only Mom and maybe Grandmom holding their family together. And not because of courts or lawyers. Even as a single dad I can see the disproportionate amount of women doing it on their own. As someone who's dad was in and out of prison my whole life I've wished a Happy Father's Day to my mom before. It felt right and I know I'm not the only one.

I have been here for 31 years and never celebrated Father's Day because my Father has never played an active role in my life.

It's like "Father's Day" as a holiday is just as foreign to me as Cinco de Mayo.
