"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.

Help! I'm paranoid and care way too much about what others are thinking about me!

"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.

Viper, could you do us a favor and only reply to the posts that you found helpful? Not the ones that you think are offensive....afterall, you shouldn't care what people on the internet say about you anyway...

Shut up beezy. Don't talk to your daddy like that.
 

"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.

OH WOW. I haven't been here in like, 3 months or something. And Viper's still here?
Maybe it hasn't been that long.
Umm, Viper...
Have you read Double your Dating by David D?
It's actually a really good book. You should invest some money, and purchase it.
Very useful information, like how to be cool, and enjoy life.
I benefitted from it a lot. You would too.

I've never freaked out over someone giving me advice, it's when people talk sh*t and critisize me about something they don't know anything about. Just like you are right now.
Now, that's a nice reply.
But still, I think criticising is good, as long as it is positive criticing. I know there has been bad criticising in here too, you're right about that. But I still recommend that you're more open too some critics that you might not like to hear.

As for the topic of this thread:

I used to care about what other people think of me too. With me it was only in certain situations. Mostly at school and/or in places where I didn't know people that well.
The way I think right now is:
-These are people that don't or barely know me, so they aren't even thinking about me. I mean do you think something about someone who you barely know all the time, when you're in a pretty busy place? No, off course not, so you can be pretty sure, they aren't either.
-Even if there where a few off all these people that did think bad things about me, would they be worth my time over all the other people who wouldn't?

I'm going to try and reframe you:

Answer the next questions to yourself



-What is it exactly about them that makes you think that they would be thinking bad of you?

-Are you saying, that, if I would join wrestling tomorrow (note: I have never wrestled before, and know absolutely nothing about it), and I would have a wrestling day with lots of people, then they would all think I'm a loser for being a beginner?

-How does the actual process go, from them not knowing you at all, to -> them thinking you're a loser for being a beginner?

-Has there been a time that you thought that people thought you were a loser, but when they didn't (and maybe even liked you)?


(note: these answers are not to offend you or your thinking, they are to make you see things in another way)

Why are you so angry? Stop being such an ass and start to have fun. This sh*t has gotten out of control. I understand how you are irritated and insist that youre correct, BUT when everyone says the samethings about you there MIGHT be some truth and something you want to listen to.

Heres what you guys don't get:

By keep posting replies to this loser, you're only giving him exactly what he wants: ATTENTION. He craves it, he's starving for it. Every post you keep making fun of him only gives him more of an illusion that anybody actually gives a sh.it about his existance. He isn't looking for advice at all, he's looking for an audience to show off what an immature passive aggressive little fu.ck he is. Get it?

Believe or not there was a time where I actually use to not care what people thought, but because of my damn parents deciding move, things went downhill. Damn them, I had a lot of friends, a lot of girls liked me, most people, even those who didn't know me, thought I was cool, there was even this one girl that I probably WOULD have had a chance dating the next year, HAD MY PARENTS NOT MOVED(She even teased me, asking if I would be her boyfriend a couple of times)! This new school is just so different from my old one, it just doesn't feel the same, the types of people you find here are different, the environment is different, it's been very hard to adapt to. I don't know, something just happened when I moved, that set me off and ruined my self-esteem. My only connection with my old school, is that there's this one guy in my grade, who has a few friends that go there.

Thanks dude, I read over the advice and it definitely gives me a new insight on the thing, this is definitely going to help me fix the problem. Not really much more I can comment on as far as that post goes.

But yeah, enough of this whining bullsh*t, I'm going to change! As much as I hate to admit, the only person that's been holding me back from becoming who I want to become, holding me back from improving, is myself and I'm tired of holding back.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

You know online test prove NOTHING right? Besides, there's a difference between just being paranoid and having the disease called "paranoia", it's much more severe.
 

"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.

not telling :P
lol im histrionic

"People with histrionic personality disorder are constant attention seekers. They need to be the center of attention all the time, often interrupting others in order to dominate the conversation. They use grandiose language to discribe everyday events and seek constant praise. They may dress provacatively or exaggerate illnesses in order to gain attention. Histrionics also tend to exaggerate friendships and relationships, believing that everyone loves them. They are often manipulative."

Wow im nothing. I think if you answered yes to enough of the questions to be labelled as something you probably have some problems. These questions are retarded. But i guess its not true so i really do have issues.. .:rolleyes:
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
