"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.

Heres what my idea is:

- At the moment, AFC questions are locked/deleted. They soon dissapear out of view, so others make the same mistake because they're idiots.
- My proposal is to create a Stupid Questions forum - perhaps with the heading - "Stupid questions go here. Please read the Bible first to avoid the shame of your thread being moved here!". A stupid question will be moved here by the mods rather than locked/deletion. Advantages of this are:
- AFCs get shamed - THEY SHOULD HAVE READ THE BIBLE!
- It keeps all the AFCs in the same place
- It keeps all the DJs in the same place
- Others will be less likely to post AFC threads if they read some of the posts in the forum first.

I admit its not perfect, but any thoughts, and any idea how to improve on the proposal?
 

"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.

Yeah, not such a bad idea. Or have a special section that would contain a list of those "stupid" questions/topics, not the actual posts, and whenever a new one is spotted in the forums, it could get added to the list of questions not to ask...

people wont listen, so i think the easyest way to shame is to have an AFC list where they add the names of the people who post stupid things, latest entry at the top obviously.

This could be achieved by making the forum "read only".
