"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.

Anyone else bought one of these badboys?

Streams my radio@AOL straight into my surround system, plays Mp3's, video's, and pics from my laptop hard drive, all wirelessly.

Best $200 I've spent in awhile!
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

The streaming AOL radio works GREAT. I have it plugged directly into my router via cat5 cable so it streams flawlessly.

The only problem is the wireless connection between my laptop and the media player. When I try to play Mp3's it's VERY choppy. Any ideas to remedy this?

Software firewall on your laptop? AOL security suite? If so, try disabling the firewall. Also find out if there is a firmware upgrade from DLINK which may kick out any wireless bugs. I assume you have an 802.11g+ or pre-n router? If so check with the maufacturer if there is a firmware upgrade for your router as well.

I have a 802.11g network, the firmware and the server software were just updated on the media player. So I need to see about a frimware upgrade for the router?

You really think the AOL security and the firewall could be causing this? I don't mind dumping whatever AOL is running but I don't really want to disable my firewall.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Oh yea, I also just realized that another Dlink model has a USB connector on the front that I could use to hook up an external hard drive (I have a 100gig laying around doing nothing). Maybe I should return this one and spend another $50....
