"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.

hi everybody, i've been bulkin for a month and i noticed that sometimes during the day i got a belly hanging out. i'm not fat at all, being 5'9 and 140 lbs. plus my fat percentage is around 10% (i used to be 8% before bulking, but i just weighed 130lbs).

what's weird is that when i don't have the belly, i got a 8-pack. the belly just comes and go away, i don't know why. maybe it's just air in my tummy?
 

"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.

It happens - I look damn skinny in the morning when I wake up, and by the time I go to bed I have a little gut that no manner of good posture will hide. Just keep focusing on your routine and don't worry about it - if you're in as good shape as you say, then it wont take long for you to get rid of that belly all together :D

If you're a smallish frame and still a bit skinny, when you bulk the food, well is bulky!

Also I found that your gut tends to not process food that efficiently leading to bloating and gas.

When I came off bulking that gut went in a few days, and I like you thought I'd been a lardy boy. I was still smooth and it took a few weeks to get the definition back.
 

"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.
