"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.

Today I've read several articles on HPD, and I must say I am shocked. I am shocked that such a dumbass like the "discoverer" of the HPD ever existed.

It seems to me that it must have been some nerdy doctor who envied those outgoing and socially successful people, so he called their personality type a "disorder". And you are "healthy" only if you are completely charmless. It's almost like if someone would pick some temperament type (say choleric) and said you've a personality disorder if you have this temperament type. Actually, this "HDP" IS one of personality types in the new typology ( http://www.9types.com ).

I really don't get how can people be so dumb and believe such a bull****.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

It's because they want us to be numbers, not people.

We are nothing more than a battery waiting to deplete its remaining life.

They want us all to be the exact same.

Bull**** in my opinion.

Its because they want you to spend thousands on psychiatric treatment to make you "normal". Been happening for thousands of years.

Technically we ALL have disorders of some kind.

Are you talking about histrionic? Apparently you've never met someone with the disorder. There's a difference between being a charmer and being an attention ***** who will do anything to get attention, as if they were a coke addict looking for their next fix. You can be charming and the center of attention, and not be histrionic.
