"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.

Do this: videotape yourself talking to someone, or just talk to yourself in the mirror. Watch your eyebrows. Do they move inadvertantly when you talk?

Mine did. A LOT. So much so that my mom pointed out that I accidentily made a waitress uncomfortable, because she took it as me being overtly flirty. In other situations, the eyebrow motions can come off as being surprises, fearful, or uncertain, depending on the situation. If you are trying to be more cool, calm, aloof, and whatnot, this is murder. As for me, I AM cool, calm and aloof by nature, so this was giving off an impression of me being the opposite of who I am.

Before you go on your quest to keep your eyebrows level, do some homework. This needs to hit home. Watch a Bond movie, and observe his facial demeanor. Casino Royale happens to be what drove the point home for me. His consistently level eyebrows very much added to his alpha, calm, aloof demeanor.

If this is something you, upon self-examination, determine to be a problem, work on this. I guarantee you'll notice a difference in your interactions with chicks, and with people in general, too.
 

"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.

I guess so, but this is such a minute detail that I'm not sure people are ready to work on this.
It's more of an intermediate tip. If you can't even talk to women, then forget it. But if you can, make sure you don't move your eyebrows a ton. I did it REALLY badly, and it messed things up pretty nicely in many cases.
 

"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.

I think you need to show emotion and facial expression can be a sign of interest.
If you keep them straight all the time - you will look cold and unapproachable.

Too much is bad, but when you smile or you are surprised - I think its OK...

I just wanna say that this one of the greatest tips ive ever received on this web site. I think my eyebrow movements were being used too much as well. I payed attention to it today and had one of the greatest days with girls and people I had to deal with. great tip thanks

this is a horrible tip. you want to show expression in your face, this is such a bad tip...mods please remove this. How has this helped you, the waitress felt uncomfortable because she wasn't attracted to you, if you did a flirty facial expression and she was interested, then you wouldn't of had that problem. So work on your looks before you work on making your self into a mime.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I can't believe it. I thought you were joking for sure, but this is actually a good tip and I move my eyebrows all the time. Maybe I should stop.

I hope people don't become overly obsessed with the smaller details of life. The less time spent mulling over minute things, the better.

A clear head wins the day.

Just walk around with a poker face all the time. And don't change the tonality of your voice either... this way people will never know what you're really thinking. haha
