"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.

hey guys,

i'm 19 and i'm looking for a job that will force me to learn how to TALK TALK TALK and become more confident socially interacting with people. i'm sure many of you can say that certain jobs in your past have had a direct benefit to your current social skills now. the main job that comes to mind to me is retail sales (clothing, somewhere at the mall). but, i'd really appreciate it if guys could talk about their experiences working at certain jobs and suggest some places, from their experience.

thanks, i really appreciate it.
 

"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.

Waiter and Tourguides

My Suggestion: Become a waiter or a tourguide, those jobs were alright and it forced me to be a bit more assertive.

*Shrug* Even retail is a step up from working where I work (Subway). The only thing lower is a janitor... Than again, he probably makes more than me. Damn it. But despite the fact that I have a lame job... I still work with the public and get to talk to a lot of people.
