"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 frequently have dreams of being in fights and when I'm striking my adversary, I'm sort of holding back, like I can't really give it real force.

I notice that this translates in real life to my golf game. I am aware that I hold back as I drive the ball off the tee.

I've been dreaming this all my life and I've always wondered why.

Would you guys really be able to jab someone in the eyes with full force in a real-life situation? Man, it's hard for me to imagine doing that.

Feel free to interpret my dream. I can take it.

It's much harder to hit someone full force in a random fight than when you're actually focused on it, like in a boxing match. For me at least, but I haven't gotten into any fights for over 5 years aside from some sparring with gloves.
