"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.

You will need PROOF of her neglect. That is what the courts give a sh!t about. Nothing else. Do you think for one second her old man will roll over on her? Don't hold your breath.

Don't wait for her to fvck up, be proactive and catch her in the act. Hire a Private Detective so he can notate how long she's gone and other things to present to the court. He can testify on your behalf, you can't.
The truth is.. I think she wants me to have my son. She knows it's best. It's just a matter of working out the details. We'll sit down and work this out. I'll have my son, one way or another.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

If she files, is it automatic that they garnish my paycheck? How does this work? Secondly, if I feel the amount is unreasonable, how do I go forth and fight it?
In my line of work, every day I read case notes on child support enforcement cases. My access is rather limited in scope and I don't really see the legal side, but I do see notes regarding locating absent parents, paternity establishment, eventually the garnishment of wages, I even see the records of the actual garnished wages, and my boss is a child support expert. I can only speak on behalf of the state of Florida, but I would imagine the general proceedings are probably similiar to whichever state you reside. From start to finish, the process can easily take over one year to establish payments and the garnishment of wages is calculated upon your income minus your living expenses. There is an appeals process in place should you feel the determined payments were unfairly calculated.
