"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Good advice from a woman, wow

Was hanging out with a woman I've known for over 10 years. At one point I brought up my oneitis from the spring and mentioned how, on a couple of occasions when I wore jeans on dates with her, she would be angry and when I would go to greet her with a kiss she would shove me (hard). Not a push, not a turn of the cheek, a forceful shove. I explained to my friend that rather than getting upset I forced myself to remain cool and calm, just blow through the bullsh*t.

What did my friend say in response? She looked at me aghast, almost with horror on her face, and said no, you can't do that, if a girl acts like that you have to put her in her place or she will run all over you.

So, I mentioned how, on an earlier date, where we agreed to hang out with my friends and play board games, when we were driving back to her place she was angry, saying she wanted me to romance her and I was heading into the friend zone. My response -- as I told my friend -- was to talk to oneitis as though I was her father she was my daughter: I was calm but stern, direct, saying she had agreed to a casual date and, as an adult, I was not going to get caught up in BS mind games, she needed to grow up and act her age, etc.

My friend was nodding her head in approval, saying if oneitis had agreed to hang out and play games then she was out of line to be angry and that it was important for me to put her in her place, otherwise she would think it was okay to create constant confusion.

My friend insisted that you can't let a girl ever get away with showing disrespect.

My friend is pretty cool.
 

"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.

Good post. There definitely exists women who 'get it' and it's refreshing to come across one who can think for herself and not give two shyts about the media version of life. The quest for men to satisfy women regardless of their self-deterioration is sickening and at a point unnatural.

Send that woman over to me. If she's not fat, I'll marry her sight unseen. ;)

Well most women won't give you any advice regarding relationship, some will give you advice they think is good while in reality it's the worst advice they could give you and then there are girls who give you great advice, those are very rare. Keep her around.

I'm in luck to have one like that as friend, we met in school and we know each other for about 4-5 years. She is unplugged so to say but, she has a lot of baggage and self confidence issues and is a bit on the chubby side ( shes really short ). If she wasn't, well I'd be frustrated then :p.


She noticed me change in many ways, getting out of my shell as a social retard and so on.

Anyways, we go shopping together so I don't buy ****, instead we get clothing that fits me, we grab a couple of beers afterwards and have a laugh, couldn't expect more from a female friend.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Seriously though, I wish I had friedn like this a year ago. I had one female friend that I took advice from, she probably ment well but it ended with me being rejected in front of a lot of people from my school. But that experience made my pick up my ass and start to pick up women. Two months after that I found this site. Anyway she still gives me terrible advices :D but now I can actually see that they are terrible.
