"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.
If Facebook was gone forever this moment.

"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.

Not sure if the old "sex buys attention" rule would still apply but sure it would be much easier and less annoying for us to score them.
The ones suffering the most would be the average girls, deprived from support from their orbiters and their female friends.
Uglies would restart selling themselves to any man for some attention while the hot ones more or the less get plenty in real life despite fb.
Sure it would be girls suffering the most out of it, they would probably experience in stress what guys experience now.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
It can still serve a good purpose. All depends on how you use it.
their prime dealer of emotional crack would be gone, chicks would be forced to go to bars and guzzle cvm for the attention they crave..
they already do this for NHL and NBA players but now normal dudes would be getting head in the bathroom stalls in clubs accross america...without facebook chicks would be tetherless and confused, where to post pics of that mediocre maranara sauce she is trying to pass off as edible..ok you're right bishes don't cook...where to post azz shot self pics ...and best of all
NO MORE FISH LIP PICS!!
Yes. I remember reading an article that compared today to American society several decades back. I think it was in the NYT but I'm not sure.Bumsniff said:
It talked about the enormous increase in psychiatrics, social workers, nurses in nursing homes and etc. etc.
And the article called them "professional carers". Said the role of pyschiatrists and pyschologists was usually fulfilled by either family members or close friends. In today's world we really don't give a sh!t about each other and our fellow man. 99% of our friendships on facebook are nothing more than glorified contact entries.
We pay people to give a sh!t about us and to talk openly to them because there are so few people that actually do.

Sometimes I need to slow down and unwind. I can't do that if everyone has access to my life. I shut off my cell phone for days at a time, rarely check FB, don't even have a twitter, and generally stay away from computers when I'm not at work. A virtual reality is not something I'm very interested in.
Then again, FB is going nowhere. So there is really no reason for this discussion. Women are all AWs to some degree. Hell, most men are as well. You aren't going to score any points with women by being totally out of touch with the virtual world, but you also aren't going to get anywhere by being the dude who updates FB every 10 minutes.
"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.
And people would actually have to *gasp* interact in real life more! The horror!

If that goes, people would reactivate their POF, OKCupid, and Black Planet Accounts!
They do that for NFL, CEO, MLB, SAG, BMW, AMG, CBS, NBC, ABC, BET, MTV, COO, CFO players too!Burroughs said:
But, there would still be a smartphone app that women would be into to be away from men. It might be called iHunk, where a woman can interact with a virtual muscular millionaire who wants to get married in a mansion.
I've called it Flakebook and Fakebook.

Some of the attention craving I see on Facebook (from some guys as well as majority of women) is embarrassing
