"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.

Love. A secondhand emotion?

I was listening to a Tina Turner song (I know what you're thinking) and the lyric "what's love but a secondhand emotion" got me thinking.

This is absolutely correct. People make such a big deal about women and love and people actually kill themselves because of breakups but really chances are you will go through life being "in love" with more than 1 person. Probably 2, 3 or 10 people. I'm 19 and i'm already on my third "proper" girlfriend. My stepdad told me about his relationship experiences before he met my Mother and how much heartbreak there was and although things often seemed bleak there were always other women in his life after.

So when you split up with your girlfriend and you're feeling all depressed stop and think. You probably felt like that about another woman before, and you sure as hell will again. And probably again after that. It takes time to find someone worthwhile and you may not until you're in your 40s or 50s. Plus, how do you know what you really want in a woman if you've only had one?

Anyone with plenty of experience will already know this and i'd love to read about your experiences. May also help young uns feeling like their world is falling apart because their first ever girlfriend dumped them.
 

"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.

The higher the highs, the lower the lows. But we still want to get high again.
