"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,

Would be most interested to find out what careers some of you have.

I for one haved travelled on different routes in life; real estate, sales, building work, presently run a tree surgery business in an affluent part of london, but looking ahead at other possibilties.

What do you do?

Tony
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

shouldn't this be in the Anything Else section?
 

"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.

spartanfan, I looked into H&S Engineering but never talked to anyone in the field. Have you found it rewarding?

I am building a tomato empire to prepare for the collapse of civilization.

To the OP, by tree surgery do you mean what Americans would call "tree trimming?"

Hello Sir Psycho,

Yes it has been rewarding at times and others not so much due to the declining manufacturing industries I have worked in and the lack of jobs. Also most places want you to work for 40-50K a year starting out and that is complete garbage for the amount of hours you spend on job sites. But if you enjoy working for the people then by all means go for it :).

I went to OSH school with a HB 8 firefighter- blonde, tall and gorgeous and she did dig me but I never had the balls to ask her out until it was too late :(. The one downside with her she was a complete know it all brain :-/ but I should have struck while the iron was hot :rockon:
 

"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.
