"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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Is it just me, or does it seem like those little scrawny b*stards would be easy to fight off and beat the piss out of? Ie, most of their victims are walking targets, honestly.
I think some people in life deserve to be preyed upon.

My martial arts trainer says that people have been telling him that open-hand combat is dead for his entire adult life. Why would anyone learn martial arts? Everyone has a gun, now, so you're never going to ever actually use those skills. Learning how to fight is a waste of time. It's obsolete.

The bodyguard business must be booming down there right now.

if you want to be trained for street level combat then you should take up muay thai/boxing/kickboxing and wrestling/grappling. leave that other stuff in the dojo
 

"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.

That's a pretty good summation of most fighters' training. "Street Level" just means taking the rules away.

There was one guy mugging people in broad daylight a couple days ago. The cops just rolled up and shot him. People think cops are trigger-happy in the US, go to Brazil, it's a whole new world down there. The cops have a reputation for shooting homeless people just to get rid of them.

This is why I am going to do Krav Maga.

Your best choice in any martial art is the highest quality instruction you can find, and all of that depends on where you happen to live.

Japanese Jiu-Jitsu is very similar to Krav Maga. It's the fighting style of the Samurais who defended Japan for 1,500 years, despite Japanese people being small in stature. Crotch-kicking, eye-gouging, and single digit manipulation was all part of it.
