"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.
Human resources friends or foes?

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I mentioned this confidentially to my boss while we were shooting **** (we even spoke the same language), after he asked how the customer was doing. Instead of just ignoring the comments, he threw me under the bus by opening an HR investigation and including the sales manager as well.
In the end, I had enough documentation to show the customer was simply frustrated with our service, which explained his comments. The customer is still with us, and ironically, he was right: the new employee left after a few months.
Point is: don’t blindly trust anyone at your company.

Reminds me of a situation at a past job, where a colleague referred to one of the most pedantic of the HR people as a "N@zi", and it got back to her.
Turns out said N@zi is actually a Chew.. and a woman, of course.
I don't know who arrived at this "punishment", but my colleague was instructed to accompany this N@zi Chew for a week, so as to better appreciate her attention to detail.
My colleague described the week as torture, being buddied to his worst enemy as a useless appendage, whilst she pontificated at meetings and presided over peer review sessions (which seemed to be all she ever did).
But I think whoever came up with that resolution had a sense of humour.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I work from home but I don't miss working in the office where people will act friendly in your face just to throw you under the bus
I'm not saying all but there are some people who are opportunists
So true especially the bigger ones

Things haven't gotten THAT out of hand in The US just yet, but we do seem to be headed in that direction. Worse yet, proponents of Red Pill Theology aren't opposed to abolishing HR departments altogether, so much as they are creating a world where the rest of us are now sanctioned for saying things that run contrary to their OWN dogma
"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.
I respectfully disagree!
