"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.

LOL!

I know there have been some heated debates in the past on here about HB ratings.

I saw this website and thought I would share. https://howhot.io

I've been having fun putting different pics in and seeing what is what and how different my opinion can be sometimes.

Something I've noticed is that eye shape really affects the rating. Pointed or squinty eyes seem to be more attractive for some reason. (ie. Mila Kunis = Godlike)

Anyhow, how is this for a HB scale?

HB10 = Godlike
HB9 = Stunning
HB8 = Hot
HB7 = Nice
HB6 = OK
HB5 = Umm..
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

For me a LOT of those girls look hot in pics. But then if I see them talking in a video. Or even trying to "look hot" while moving, they start to look retarded and lose their appeal.

It's all about how high the pedestal is.
I don't think there's anything wrong with a rating scale. Some women are clearly better looking than others, I don't see any reason to deny that is true. That's all a rating scale measures.

On the other hand, I don't believe in 10s, because NO ONE is perfect. So I could see where it might be pedestalizing to call a girl a 10. And I certainly don't believe in calling a girl "Godlike". She still sh!ts and p!sses and her looks are going to fade as she gets older.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

The whole HB rating thing is very lame IMO.... how attractive a woman is is a totally subjective matter (eye of the beholder). As long as she's attractive to YOU, what else ****ing matters?

Whatever man. It's just for fun. I don't think anybody takes the HB scale too seriously.

I just find it interesting to see what is considered attractive. For example this chick

She gets a "Stunning" rating for this photo. I certainly don't think she is ugly but I really don't find her attractive at all. In fact she's kind of scary looking to me.

In regards to "I don't like to call a girl Godlike". C'mon man it's just a term of reference. I don't think anyone is perfect either but they can be perfect-like.

Are we supposed to fawn and bend more to them, because they have presented themselves better to us?

See, just because you stick a ratings number on a girl, or just because you say that chick A is more attractive to you than chick B, who says you are supposed to fawn and bend to them? In fact, if you learn anything on this forum at all, you should know you are NOT supposed to do that.

I don't rate girls by numbers, I just associate them with words like cute, sexy, fine, beautiful, etc.

But if I had to make a scale for me it's like this:

HB1 - Unbearably hideous
HB2 - Very, very hideous
HB3 - Ugly
HB4 - Below Average (D)
HB4.5 - Below Average (D+)
HB5 - Completely Average. Not that attractive, but not ugly.
HB6 - Slightly Above Average. Leans towards "cute".
HB7 - Above Average. Leaning towards "pretty".
HB8 - Very pretty.
HB9 - Beautiful

...and last but not least

HB10 - Impossible.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
