"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

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'.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
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.
