"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 many of us have an overinflated sense of self?

Advice from the old lady:

Self confidence is where it’s at. You must become confident in who you ARE in order to register on the radar of confident women. Period.

Otherwise as Atom Smasher noted you are as invisible as Harry Potter in his cloak, and you are an annoyance if you insist otherwise in a contrived way, if you thrust yourself into their awareness.

I do not mean to sound snobby but when you are a high value woman EVERYONE wants a piece of you. So you learn to tune out 98% of all attention you receive from men, from the world at large. If you are a person with a kind energy in addition to being physically attractive, people will actually accost you, gush over you, flatter you, pedestalize you…it’s a weird experience.

I’ve been chased by paparazzi on Rodeo Drive in LA, in several airports, at nightclubs. It’s WEIRD to have someone you don’t know busily snapping photos of you (God knows who they thought I was but it kinda cracked me up too…since they would have to realize they had the wrong girl)…but it’s surreal as well. So as a sought after person you naturally become guarded and you develop finely attenuated ability to read people and their intent.

I am as advertised on this forum. I relate real experiences from my life & the lives of people around me. My avatar has always been my own photo. At one point BigNeil put my avatar on photo feeler to be rated. It came back over 90% so that’s what? A 9? I dunno. I consider myself an 8 across the board but I’m not everyone’s look and of course I’m too old for most of the young guys here, which suits me fine. I won’t be physically in my prime forever but I will always be beautiful because true radiance shines from the heart, lights the eyes, electrifies the laugh and exudes an energy people desire; and desire to be close to.

As a woman you embody this radiance you BE, you shine and you exude joy to those around you. As a man you BECOME and you create yourself into the embodiment of your potential. Few men reach their full potential in life. Those who do also shine. And make no mistake…great women also become. They evolve, mature, grow. Self confidence encourages self actualization and those are the people most sought after of all… men and women both. Those people are magnetic. That magnetism is massively attractive.

Confident women are rare. So you aren’t going to run across many in the first place. They are also choosy. They know they can be and they aren’t afraid to be. To stand out to these women? You gotta be somebody.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
