"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.

Is this martial art legit?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

kung fu is legit if done well, but that also goes for a lot of martial arts. Breaking stuff and taking blows is not anything new; it was part of karate for a long time.

I would kind of doubt the effectiveness of the hand whip thing he was showing in actual combat. Maybe it works if you practice it for 20 years, but I would be hesitant to believe that the 'b!tch-slap of death' would be practical for troops in combat.

I don't believe anything he was showing would be beneficial to troops in field. I'm not impressed by glass or board breaking or the wannabe Ric Flair chop of death. I've studied martial arts since I was 8 years old. I was striking through boards as a child and was breaking concrete blocks by the time I was 10.
 

"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.

That type of stuff really isn't beneficial on the field.

For one, combat troops usually carry alot of gear on their chest (and if it's not some 3rd world militia they'll have body armor on.)

Things like that Rick Flair chop will do nothing but hurt your hand (he can break a board but can he break a kevlar plate or a magazine of 7.62?)


Then the amount of gear you're wearing makes it hard to move and strike efficiently.

This is why effective combat fighting comes down to breaking joint/bones/limbs, choking them to death, and weapons of opportunities (i.e. bashing the skull with a rock.)

The kung fu stuff might have a place for a one man Rambo on some secret mission without any gear. But let's keep it real...
