"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.

How can I get more purpose behind my life? I dont know if its the adderall that I take or what, but I feel like I have no real drive.

Like, I can't bring myself to work on this script I'm writing hardly anymore, and last semester I had such a hard time actually studying because it wasn't fun to do. Its like I don't have any discipline, like I'm this ultra pleasure seeker and that I always want to be feeling good 100% of the time and working doesn't make me feel good so I don't do it. Don't get me wrong, I have a pretty large social circle with a lot of friends and I get more than my fair share of girls, but when it comes time to actually be productive and not party/socialize/slack off, I have the hardest time forcing myself to do it. I'm heading back to college as a sophomore in the fall and I need to get this sorted out as soon as possible.

Can anyone relate to this or have any ways to kick myself a proverbial kick in the ass and start getting a work ethic?
 

"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.

Find something you really want to do, a passion or something, and do it.
Worked for me *shrugs*

The medicine might be reducing your drive by messing with your dopamine levels btw, I suggest asking your doctor about that.

ADHD? The medicine can do that to you. Talk to the doc. It can cause a false sense of well being among other things. Maybe it's your underlying DX. Please go see the doc and talk to him about it.

I'd say start working out and eating right. It's what did it for me, man.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

It can be! Dude might be bisexual. Gay men often dedicate their lives to working out and looking good. Many older married men support young good looking guys. So, being in good shape in essence is your life.

Find something you like doing, and figure out how to get paid to do it.

It will get him started. Are you going to answer his question, or just comment on my answer?

Respectfully--please speak for yourself. Your values and beliefs aren't God. Your definition of purpose might not match another's definition, but that doesn't mean that you're right and that everyone else who happens to disagree is wrong.

So, you're telling me that eating and going to the gym are the most fulfilling things for you?
 

"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.

His purpose was not to eat and go to the gym. He was a bodybuiler. From what I know, he idolized Reg Parks and followed in his footsteps which is why they have similar physiques. Arnold took his lessons and surpassed him to become a champion in his sport. He decided to be the best, that's his purpose.

Fortress Maximus: Thanks for repping me down (3 months after you posted in this thread). How passive aggressive of you. Kind of sensitive aren't you?

Those drugs have side effect like depression, suicide, etc. You better off smoking weed IMO.
