"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.

Why do females want to set a trap on dudes all the time? In other words when they say they want you to be her man and I reply by saying "Lets chill and see what happens." Then they test you by ignoring you for days even weeks to see if you miss them.

I know most of you guys have gone through this and some of you probably texted or called a few times(2 max). Then you stop trying.

From your experience out of all the girls that flaked on you, how many actually responded back to you and how long did they take to reply back after they put the silent treatment on you????
 

"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.

How the hell do you know it's a trap if she is giving you the silent treatment?

Mine gave me the silent treatment and last time I called the phone was off. I gave up and deleted her #.

Silent treatment or not interested?

Not interested in my book, accept it!

I don't see how any woman who really wants you gives the silent treatment. The truth is we are probably just an option and she wants someone else.

Let's ask Francisco if he ever got the silent treatment. Francisco?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

This is effective time-management. You have just freed up your future time to spend doing things you enjoy and/or with women who have high interest in you.

I believe its a trap because when we went out, she wanted me to say that I like her and I told her that I thought you was cool. Then she text me that same night saying "maybe I should stop texting you since I'm not your girl". Then 4 days later she stopped.

So I'm thinking she wants me to tell her that I like her and we should have a relationship. But I'm not buying into her schemes. I work on my terms which is chill and hangout first to see if she's worth it period.

I'm thinking you took too long to escalate. I've made the same mistake recently.

I LOL'd I really did.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

LOL, and my girl wanted me to say I miss her so I did and I told her "I don't want you to go away".

And what did she do? WENT AWAY.

This is just a bad thread... beauty is in the eye of the beholder... looks are subjective. Some people might find russian girls ugly, and some AFCs pick up fat cows and think they struck gold. There's no way to prove russian girls are hot... just find what you enjoy and go for it ;)

I think you have the wrong thread.

As for this thread, I'm to the point where as soon as a woman I'm seeing or chasing shows disrespect, show her the door for GOOD! It's the only way to stop wasting precious time and emotions.

For example, this b!tch stood me up tonight. Then when I called her out on it she tried to say she "forgot" to tell me she couldn't make it.

Then she asks me "how can she make it up to me"

I told her "no thanks, I'm good"

She got P!SSED at ME and said "Fine! your loss! goodbye!"

W T F


I am proud that I didn't suck up to her like every other guy she probably knows.

PS. Alright, so I made a mistake and told some fat b!tch who knows her that I want to hook up with her. I have known the woman who stood me up for awhile, used to work with her. And we were just friends.

And the fat b!tch probably let her know my intentions. So what?
Does that give her the right to stand me up? Like she didn't already know my intentions. Especially after I told her to come over. Give me a break.

I am never going to understand these people.

LOL, that does sound like Franciso. He likes to answer a question with a question. That's cool though.

In response to the OP, sometimes it is a test or a trap or a game to manipulate you, but test or not it's a bad sign and the best response is the same-give her the silent treatment right back and don't give in to what she's asking for.

Women waste time more than any other species on this planet. If you left them alone in the wilderness they'd all die from their stupid b1tching and moaning and games.
 

"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.

Bravo. In actuality though I think a lot of them would but it's also a symptom of having it too good. IF things got rough, women would change their attitude quickly.

You're right, a woman who's truly interested in you will not give you the silent treatment unless she's your wife (completely different situation). Even if a woman is mad at you, she's going to let you know under no uncertain terms if she's has a high interest level (i.e. an high emotional investment).

As for the trap setting, I haven't experienced that; I have little interest in female games which are typically played by people who are immature. This is different from sh1t test though, I don't blame women for giving those with the abundance of AFCs that are around. Besides, it's a really good way to differentiate yourself from over half the guys out there.

There real problem here is when guys are willing to put up with what they perceive as traps and other general acts of perpetual disrespect. The first time or two is permissible just to determine the woman's mindset and to let her know your rules. After that it's up to her to decide whether or not she believes it's worth her while to adjust.

The thing is that it's the same for the guy too. He doesn't have to continue to play but often he chooses to, again and again with the same outcome. Thus the purpose of threads of frustration like this one. Guys who do a good job of qualifying may come across these women but seldom invest tons of time and needless effort in them.

Walking away is effective but she loses you. What´s the point if she pushes you hard enough if it reaches this stage (The guy leaving)??
