"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 do you get the V shape?

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

It comes from having a relatively large chest compared to waist size, ie, good back and chest development, and little fat around the midsection. But if you are only doing upperbody workouts you are shortchanging yourself so don't neglect legs, please. Decide if you need to bulk up or cut and then see Diesel's guides for each.

You need to work your LATS real hard to get that V shape, and have a small waist.

Small waist, big lats and shoulders. Just keep training and dieting hard and it will come.

Ya for some reason its really easy for me to get that V shape. I am not a big guy, but its just real easy.


I suggest doing close grip pullups and also widegrip pullups.
 

"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.

I have the V shape completely and I credit years of swimming. I also have a fast metabolism so it's easy for me to maintain.

I agree with newbie...the V Taper you describe can be obtained by having broad/wide shoulders, sweeping lats, and a small waist.

You don't really have to. Just get on a cutting diet and concentrate on lowering your bodyfat. Don't forget to train all your other bodyparts though.

I swim (freestyle) about a mile 3 times a week. It has done wonders for my back,shoulders, lats.
 

"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.
