"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.

Feeling closed minded lately

No more keyboard jockeying . Action is the place.
So lately I've been feeling really restricted and closed off in my mind, especially when talking with women. For example the only topic I can come up with is about classes in college (how lame). I used to be able to be so opened minded and easily flow with women but I've seem to have taken a step backwards. Anyone have any ideas on how to get back to that open mindedness?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Perhaps you need to focus on other things, and you' ll naturally have other things to talk about when you approach women....

Just open with something "lame" like about classes or whatever and let the conversation naturally lead to other more interesting stuff. Or steer the conversation towards something more interesting.

My best conversations started out with the most boring opening topic.
