"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.

So I felt like a I got hit by a truck halfway through my healthcare shift. It was awful. Went to my 2nd job and got tested there first thing in the morning. I did not want to risk spreading this to others. Took a half day just in case. Results came back positive. Spent the next 3 days in bed feeling like a horrible flu. I went 2.5 yrs on the front lines avoiding this thing. It was a source of pride for me. Now I feel like a loser lol.

The awesome news is that I used to be 191lbs and it was awfully difficult to get to my target goal of 185lbs. I tried everything. Well CVID did it within 3 days. I look great. I can see my abs. Im actually kinda happy about that. I dont know what ramifications on my job this will cause. This whole Omicron thing is a mess. Its depressing. I was going to make a trip overseas for vacation in 3 weeks but now i dont know.
 

"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.

No joke that Omicron spreads fast. I know a teacher, her second day back today after holiday break: 10 staff and 7 kids out today…
Her first statement about it ~ “They’re dropping like flies”.

I tested + just before a flight. Asymptomatic at the time. Also in the frontlines since the getgo. My 10 day quarantine included Vit D, melatonin, asa, zyrtec, Vit C, and a shot of whisky. Light exercise. Daily FT check in with the GF who’s also in healthcare. Minimal symptoms. Now I have Natural Immunity.

So did they let you on the flight? Did they refund your money? And was it the first time you tested positive?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

You must be 6' ft. We are exactly the same weight with the same goal of 25-bmi. Sending healing vibes.
I'm anti VAX and this sht is keeping me lying low. Again get healthy, everyone!

omicron isn't as deadly as the previous versions, but highly contagious which is what you'd want anyway since people don't want to get vaccinated, quicker hive immunity reached.
Elaborate some. You in Med industry?

I got the flight rescheduled 3 weeks later, and applied the tickets. So it worked out. Yes, first time. Never + before. I do weekly testing for work as I’m non-vacc.

3 acquaintances in the first 2 years with the pandemic (1 was hospitalized).
Now 12 friends and colleagues positive with symptoms in the last 5 days.
Ir’s inevitable, we’re all going to catch this one sooner or later.
Regardless of vax status, this milder variant and exposure will hopefully put Covid in our rear view mirror.
Good health and safety.
 

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

Over a million new cases in the US alone and that's way underreported due to lots of at home tests not getting reported...

Pretty crazy honestly.

Okay this is good to know. I didnt know the airlines policy for this. Hopefully my airline will let me apply the ticket to a later flight. When you travelled abroad did you find a testing site there when it was time to come back?

No testing 90 days after + test. Sort of a limited-time natural immunity.

Glad you’re better. However, this is not chicken pox. “Natural immunity” is short lived in coronaviruses.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Hybrid immunity - though seemingly short lived is the best. You’re good man, every HC front line provider I know has had it.

take heart

Im 5 foot 10 on a good day. I wish i was 6ft. But yes brotha please be safe. This thing sucks. Its a very bad flu. But it does feel like you are being cleansed. Like the virus is detoxifying.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
