"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.
Interesting article on Masculinity preference when choosing men

"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.

I can't help but notice this only studies how guys LOOK, not how they ACT. So girls find the feminine pretty boys attractive, no surprise there. But when it comes to research like this, they're not getting the whole picture because with women, attraction is so related to BEHAVIOR, not just appearance.
It is interesting when they talk about how higher testosterone males are more likely to cheat and less likely to stick around to help raise the baby. This research centered on women in their early to mid twenties. Usually women don't figure this out until a little later in life. Maybe they're getting smarter while the men are getting dumber?

Near the end of the article it goes on to say the females deemed attractive by most standards want it all. Looks, wealth, caring, family man, etc... (what a surprise! of course what you want and what you get are 2 different things usually!)
Another feminist article trying to put down masculinity. I just laughed when she started bleating: Women are repelled by high testosterone men, as they are seen as more aggressive, philandering, unsympathetic and domineering.
It's a ridiculous test to do as well, as there have been few control variables. Who are the people doing these questionnaires? I'm guessing most of them are fat, unattractive, unfeminine or just average women. Seriously, how many hot feminine girls do you know who fill out questionnaires and spend a lot of time on the internet. They're all too busy going out with the gals, socialising to be spending time on the computer. So it's pretty unconclusive for finding the women WE want to attract. Hell I don't care if some fat computer geek girl finds feminine men more attractive, I'm not going for her.
The author is just trying to push feminist ideas, by giving the impression of 'changing times'.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
I don't see how this article is feminist. However, i do think it is prime proof on how our environment and experiences shape what we consider attractive. My theory is that in the countries that are unhealthy only the strong males survive, thus causing women to be attracted to them naturally because most of them are more powerful and on top.
Its the same how obese America is now fixated on super skinny models. Your mind develops and controls what is attractive by what is surviving and what is the most powerful.

I've not read the article, but I can immediately tell you I'm more attracted to the face on the left.
