"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.

You are in small town, 150,000 people, in summer that number grows 8 to 10 times. There is a center plaza 5 stories no elevator. Office pricess across the town are pretty much the same. Some charge more in summer, others charge the same yearly.

On 5th floor rent is X, and year round income is 3X sometimes 4X, in the summer it is 12X.

On 4rth floor rent is 2X, and year round income I am assuming is the same.

On the ground floor rent is 4X, how to calculate my competitor's income? Would it be correct to assume his income is 4X * 3 or 12X?

I can't seem to decide whether I should move down or not, on one hand my rent is cheap, on the other hand I'm too fing high. I do electronic repairs.
 

"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.

How much more would it cost for you to pick up and deliver your orders?

I hope you and your competitors on the 1st floor deliver different products. If you do, I suggest you move to a different location or just stay where you are. If you don't, just stay where you are because I do not believe you would make 3 to 5X if you move down.
