Do you guys think that this classic book would help with dating? Personally, I believe that it would definitely open a lot of legs if applied properly.....
"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'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 would have worked well back in the day when it was written, but today it only applies to dealing with men.
If you apply it to your dealings with today's women they will generally walk all over you. It's the epitome of "nice guy" which translates in their twisted minds to "weak guy".

I feel that the principles in that book are truly timeless, and that they work even more now than back when the book was originally published. Today, we are FAR less interpersonal than we were in the 1930's, due to technology. Outside of talking on a phone, most people had to meet face-to-face back then in order to communicate. Now, the average person can communicate in a variety of different ways. We are constantly distracted and increasingly self-centered. So, when you meet that rare person, who really makes you feel special, focuses on your problems and needs with no strings attached, it gives you a huge edge, in my opinion....
