"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.

Why do all the "recommended" shoes look like bowling shoes? http://www.kinowear.com/blog/category/shoes/

That's just a little too flashy for me, I'm sorry. And expensive. Sometimes I just wanta wear my NB tennis shoes because they're so comfortable and if I get in a fight I'll be able to balance and kick someone's a5s a little better.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

LOL! You'd never get in to a high end night club with New Balances of anykind...unless of course you are famous or ungodly rich...Then again the fact that you mentiond "expensive" as a reason not to have 70 dollar shoes, pretty much disqualifies you from the high end club scene anyway. Four of the shoes you linked in there were decent and you can ride with those but again, the casual sneaker trend is on the rise. Again the key is for them NOT to look too much like tennis shoes and more towards club wear.

I would generally stay away from tennis shoes. Unless your outfit is completely coordinated with them (and the club actually lets you in since theres a dress code usually), they'll take your look way down if you've got some nice stuff on. I wear either a black pair of oxford style shoes by kenneth cole (black with white leather, square toe) or a pair of doc maartens (brown with white leather, round toe). Shoes are definitly something that you should make an investment in.

Either look at oxford style dress shoes, or loafers. Square toe is more in style now, and i personally think it looks better. (Dont forget to match your belt with the color of your shoes!)

"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.
