"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.

Yeah, I'm copying my dear moderator friend Matrix and doing a series !!
Sue me ! :mad:

:D

Well, don't know if it has been noticed... but I took a recent hiatus from the board...
To spend some time with myself... and think about some things I had to set straight.

Now, after all the fighting with the devils inside of me, I'm going to offer you a personal insight, along with pieces of advice, collected from me, from my friends and some wise words of my good mentor.

So, I finally recognized the most common inner devils that we, adolescent men have to face as we grow old. These fights which make us grow up, are inevitable.
You can't delay it for as long as you want, but eventually you'll have to face them.

The fight is long, and it's mostly within yourself. But it's good to have company and friends while you're at it.

So, here they are:

Inner Struggles: Confusion of Lust - covers that which haunts us and is in my opinion the most cruel of all demons. It is the inevitable confusion that is made between love, care and liking and physical,sexual attraction.

Inner Struggles: The Curse of Rebeliousness - no, I don't want everyone to fit in. But what I do want is for people to stop using rebeliousness as an excuse of their laziness for changing theirselves and becoming better !

Inner Struggles: The Hollow Necessity of Validation - why you do not need everyone else's approval to be happy.

Inner Struggles: Conclusions of a New Born Man - To end the series... some general advices, and a sneak preview from my next projects.

Yeah.
I did it. Prepare your hearts and minds... For some self-evaluation... your life will never be the same...

And don't worry, you'll become a better man...

So, see you boys soon !

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

sounds excellent.
 

"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.

Okay... first there's The Red Pill by me.
Then there's the Man of Action Series by Lorenzo (MoAF)
And now... my brother from a different mother BBB is coming out with a series.

Guys... do we realize what the hell we are doing here? We're about to turn this forum into the hottest thing since toast bread. I can't wait...

Due to the chance of this being deleted due to time, Matrix has requested me to bump this for it to stay in the High School bible. Thank you.
