"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 far can you take jealously plotlines?

This one is pretty simple. I went out with a girl I really like on Thursday, "Lauren". I had already made plans with another girl, "Leah" to go to a restaurant, and earlier today I found out Lauren is the hostess there. So I decided to change plans with Leah but I was wondering if that was really the best thing to do. I don't have a commitment made with any of them. Would it have been a bad idea to have shown up at Lauren's restaurant with another girl, 2 days after our date (that went pretty well)?
 

"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.

It depends on the girl.

Is Lauren an attention wh*re? In other words, does she dress extra hot like a Paris Hilton wannabe? Is she a bit full of herself? Does she have highlighted hair? Does she have expensive sunglasses that are the size of a windshield lol? Does she do some psuedo-lesbian dance with her girlfriends in a club? If you answered yes to any of those, then proceed with the jealousy plotline.

Is Lauren a nice, sweet, down to earth girl? If yes, then don't go foward with the jealousy stuff. Take Leah somewhere else.

Thank you. Lauren is how you described. And I did take her somewhere else.

The thing about jealousy is you don't want to make it go too far.

Your girl has to know other girls text/call you, that other girls find you hot & try to hang out with you, but taking a girl straight to the restaurant of another girl you were dating is probably not a good idea.

I'm glad it worked out for you. My point was, attention wh*res would respond well to jealousy because they HATE not being the center of attention.

But a down to earth nice girl can be insulted and turned off by a direct jealousy plot like that.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
