"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 was wondering, let's say someone could choose between having a LTR or random chicks to f*ck w/e he want, like fbuddies, or simply both!

What do you guys would go for?

LTR has it's benefits:
There is someone who cares for you
You can have sex w/e you want
You can go out with her and have things to say
Pays for you sometimes (at least in my LTR we buy each others drinks everyother date)
Be more emotional with her
Argue (which is a bittersweet thing when it's happening)
And other staff that I can't think of right now!

Being Single:
Sex with different chicks without cheating on someone
Be able to do w/e you want w/e you want, like watch a football game with your friends
FREEDOM in other words, can't think other things that can be best be described as Freedom!

So, what are you guys would want to have and why?

I am in a LTR with a good girl and staff, but feeling a little bored from the whole concept of this LTR, so I was thinking about it... Which is best?!?
 

"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 voted 'single' for the moment. I enjoy my single life and spinning plates, having loads of sex and do things the way I want them to happen.

However, I don't see myself being single the rest of my life. As all human beings, even DJs eventually end up in an LTR. However, I refuse to settle for a girl that is unworthy, and at the moment, none of the girls I'm currently seeing is LTR worthy material. They're awesome in bed, have a love for sucking d*ck and seem to be totally in to me. So until that right woman comes a long, I stick to being single!

I cant see why you cant have both - If your dating a girl where you cant go out with your mates when you want or watch football when you like, your with the wrong girl, or your game needs more work.

I'm in a LTR and I can do as I please.

You can even have FB -

Get the best of both words, cheating on her or any chick doesn't bother me.

This is age-dependent. Now at 19, I want to be single and have fun, no strings attached. When I'm older, I'll have an LTR and enter that lifelong LTR called marriage in my mid to late 20s.

Exactly. It takes time and experience to find a good LTR.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Yeah, I agree, this is largely age dependent. I'm actually surprised LTR has as many votes as it does. Since this forum is mostly younger guys, I'd expect them to pick single. And a lot of the older guys here are living out their fantasies from when they were younger :)

Anyway, I picked LTR, just because I like having a partner in life. Someone to help shoulder the load as it were. I also like it that a girl will devote their lives to me (in a manner of speaking).

If the poll had been MARRIED vs. single, I might have voted differently. When you talk about marriage in your mid to late 20s, I actually think that may be a little early. I waited to get married until I was about 33. At the time I thought it was about the perfect age for it, but I don't know, maybe I didn't wait long enough.
