"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.

Hey all,

My brother is 17 years old (gonna be a senior in high school), still lives at home, doesn't have a driver's license or a cell phone. He's at the stage right now where he's trying to get some action. He says he's relatively popular at school. He's a pretty athletic and doesn't seem to have issues meeting girls.

He's always asking me for advice on how to close the deal with chics. I'm not sure what to tell him as he's at a severe disadvantage because he's still living at home, can't drive, etc. I've always told him to focus on improving himself. In my experience, if you're attractive and confident you really shouldn't have problems getting women.

I think I'm gonna refer him to the DJ bible and some of the other resources available on this site.

Any other suggestions on how to advise him?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
Is it abnormal for 17-year-olds to still be living at home in Canada?

In America, kids aren't considered grown until they're at least 18 and graduated from high school. Moving out at 17 is almost unheard of.

Not abnormal by any means. I didn't move out til I was 21. I just don't know how to advise him because our situations are so different right now.

I didn't really start getting laid regularly til I moved out.

I think it would be easier to advise him on situation by situation.

Is he asking for advice "in general"?

If so, you are saying the right things. And refer him to the DJ Bible. Just tell him not to get caught up in the SS Matrix. ;)
