"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.
Just Saw Her Photo and No Longer Interested

"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.

Chill, man. At least you didn't go further and really mess her up.

I don't feel guilty for having standards. However if the girl is really nice and has a good heart, I do feel a bit sorry for her.
(Mind you, some ugly girls are real *******s, but some of them are really nice, and I'm not much of a looker myself, so I do feel a twinge of discomfort)

I'm getting the feeling here that the harder you're going to try to get rid of her, the more she'll be into you. One of those reverse mind games haha
I say go out and if you see things going in the wrong direction, let her know the next day by email or phone call. Girls reserve the right to ljbf-us so we reserve the right to do the same.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Even ugly people are shallow. It's human nature, we all like looking at pretty things.
BTW - Say that you have to split the bill before you head out to a restaurant because your broke. Watch her run a mile.
If that doesn't work I would meet her in person, if you don't then she will know it's because of her looks and that will hurt her. Do you really want to do that when you could just take her out once and act like a dufus to put her off, it could be fun.

"Funny thing is that I'm waiting for another girl to respond to a pic I sent with an email. It's been about three hours. I guess she saw my photo and was no longer interested. Hahaha!"
Yea and because she's a girl - you can bet she won't give a damn about letting you down easy.

you don't have to prove anything and you shouldn't feel guilty either. if you don't like her, no need to continue wasting time on her. it's all part of the game. it's her problem if she cant' handle getting dissed.Juan_Man said:
I never said that I was a hunk like Brad Pitt, I am handsome enough though not to have to date an ugly girl and during the times that I have not got a hot babe in my life I prefer to fu-ck an inflatable sex doll than pick up some ugly bi-tch from a bar to fu-ck her.d9930380 said:
I am very fussy when it comes to the girls that I go out with, some hot babes like me and others don't, but as long as one out of every one hundred of the hot babes that I meet are attracted to me then I always have one that I can date.
I guess I only consider dating about 30% of the girls that I see, but you don't have to be a hunk like Brad Pitt to date a HB7 HB8 or a HB9, and if I play my cards right I can get one of these girls.
As far as being a TROLL goes, I don't even know what one is, I have often read the term on many other threads, I know from these that it is a negative term, but maybe someone could fill me in on what it really is.
I am happy with the way that I look, it is the least of my problems, but I think that I about 30% of all guys are better looking than me, if I was a girl I would be a HB7 I would think. :crackup:
"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.
