"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.

I perceive it as that for various reasons I’ve lived a very fast life for a decade or so. A lot of stress, adrenaline. Everything from free diving to performing on stage and what not in between. I don’t know happiness in some way, perhaps short periods some day here and there.

It seems it now slows down. And I find that very difficult to handle. Sleeping decently is rare for me, I’m perplexed at what to do with a “regular” life. Watch TV, lol.

I take risk in responsible ways I think, but I must say there is some part of me that likes pressure, like some kind of addiction personality. I had no idea.

How do people approach these things? Shall one live the IKEA life, or let the chips fall where they may?

Perhaps find some balance. Reasonably healthy, but not too boring either. Will be demanding to do the reduction/change, though. Tbh, don't want to.
 

"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.

I've been a speed junkie all my life. If it's got wheels I will find the limits. But there was a 10yr period I went thru that I crashed everything you can crash. Broke several bones. Hospital stays. Road motorcycles everywhere. Outran the cops many times. Used to party 3 nites a week. Often At the lake on a boat at party cove, lots of naked girls. Raced cars on the weekend. Never home. Dated a few t!tty dancers. Changed out girlfriends every 2-3months. Have a ton of crazy fun memories.

Had a blast. Got the most out of life. With age I've slowed down and sometimes it drives me crazy. I often feel if I am not out doing something that I am wasting my life away. I'm either working or doing something. Not one to watch much TV nor sit around.

But my advice is to do it as long as you can right until the wheels come off. You always pay a price for living fast. You don't get out unscathed. But it's worth the risk.
