"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 stumbled across a counter-intuitive strategy that seems to work pretty well for me that I thought I would share with anyone who is interested.


Look for the bad in people.


All your AFC life you get told to look for the good in everyone. But when you are living like a doormat and always trying to please people, you automatically have a hard time seeing anything other than the good. Particularly in women. Thus an average looking girl with a crappy personality becomes a "goddess." In order to be able to look at her objectively to see what she's really worth, you have to be able to identify the bad stuff as well.

So when you see a beautiful woman, instead of allowing your balls to involuntarily turn into mush, start picking her apart to see what's wrong with her (lord knows they do this to us!). Stop being hypotized by tits and ass and start looking for flaws. I guarantee you even the hottest women have them.

I found myself becoming entranced the other day by the beauty of Katy Perry in a bikini until I noticed a colony of moles on her back and shoulders. Suddenly, she became human again.

This isn't intended to tear down women or make you view them as less desirable. It is merely to help you maintain a sense of perspective. That they are not some divine, flawless creatures. They are people like us. It's easy to forget that sometimes.

Being conscious of women's flaws will not only make it easier to talk to them but will also raise your standards in them considerably.
 

"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.

Taking apart or looking negatively on physical defects that none of us have control over, is shallow and childish.

If you want to pick something apart, then pick apart the person that she is on every level.

Yeah, it was actually the crap thread that inspired me to post this yesterday.

Who says I was only talking about physical things, though? You should do it with personality as well.
 

"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.

I think this sums up the crux of the problem AFC's have with women in general. Too much of the 'goddess' complex going on.

When I think of women now, I start thinking about what her poo smells like, what her breath might stink of. What it sounds like when she farts. What private embarrassing weird thing about her personality or her behavior she exhibits that she doesn't want anyone to know of. And yes, what I can see that is imperfect about her.

Not that I do this constantly and more often than not. It's just simply a way to remind myself and remember that they are human. And that they are no better than and have just the same types of issues as anyone else.
