"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.

Very interesting article on MSNBC.com. Some interesting research findings that may help people looking for suitable, and compatible partners online.

Give it a read:

The article hits the nail right on the head. Online dating is a strange alternative universe in which every criterion is blown way out of proportion by too many people.

What a surprise most women are dissapointed.. could it be many women online are gold diggers looking for their rich knight to come riding on his horse?

The last girl I met online was interested until she found out I worked 60 hours a week to pay for my house and bills. She lost interest after that I'm telling you.

In all my years I have never met a girlfriend online. A lay yes (a few times) but never a girlfriend.

I should have lied and said I don't work and I would have been golden. But then how do I explain what I do with myself all week?

I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't as many single guys in existence who make over $100K per year as there are women whose online profiles list $100K per year as the minimum income for their "match." :rolleyes:

Yeah this last chic I met kept going on about how she has an easy life right now and only has to work a few hours a day. She travels all around the world. On who's dime?

Yeah I wonder what she was after :rolleyes:

Once they get used to that easy life they will never want to go back.

She will probably marry some fat slob for the money. She needed a green card too.
 

"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.
