"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.

So there you are, your mate telling you he's split with this girl. What a shame "It's be alright mate",

but at the back of your mind you're thinking

now's my chance!

Any comment?

2 mates have split with thier girlfriends and I reckon my chances with both are pretty good. But if I ask them out for an obvious date I might be risking my friendship.... which in this case is more important.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

There are so many other women out there, why go for your friends ex's?!?

Dude.... no man! Even if your friend DOES say "its ok", deep inside he will never be ok with you going for his ex's man! Thats just wrong in my eye's and i wouldnt do that, with or without my friends permission. But thats just me, and i guess that if you DO ask your friend and he IS ok with it, then go for it, but i'm personally against the idea of going for friends ex's.

heres the deal buddy, there are many factors in this touchy situation. It depends on the relationship (1. length of time 2. were they in love 3. how serious was the relationship). If the relationship was serious dont even think about it, a buddy is worth much more than a piece of a$$. there are tons of chicks out there but only a few true buddies.

My friends and myself kind of have an unwritten rule, we have all had long term meaningful relationships and those girls are off limits to our friends, gentlemans rules ya' know. but if we are just takin a chick out for the hell of it, no real ties other then a hot chick, f*ck it man its fair game. Aint no fun if the buddies cant have none.

thats our take on the friends ex's

happy hunting

Well, I'm pleased I took it easy.

Bit of background, girl#1 is a dream girl, lot of problems on her with her don't apply. Facied her since before they were together.
Girl#2. Whenever we're out I get the impression that she doesn't want to be with him, that she really wants to be with me but doesn't do anything about it. For that reason though I don't find her too attractive

Saturday night I asked mate#1 how he felt about breaking up and stuff. At first he seemed really laid back about it so I said "Yeah, but how would you feel if some other guy stepped in there?" and he admitted that he'd be peeved, so I said `what are you doing then?`

As for couple#2 I think they just do what's convienent. Laziness I'm sure some people here could admit to...

The whole thing's a nightmare, not worth it. I just asked here because my flatmate said his friends and him do it no problems. I should have got in there before my mate did.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
If you guys are just casual acquaintences, go for it.

If you're good friends, I would wait until he finds himself another girl before trying anything.
 

"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.

Also check out My other post "In Regards to 'Do women have all the power?'"


I lost my friend in that story not because I persued his girl, but because she persued me. My friend completely disolved our relationship because she was going after me.

allow me to tell you the whole story to the best of my recolection in shorthand so as not to bore you.


Met his girlfiriend, talked a little bit (with him there). When she left I told him that the girl was completely wrong for him.
He didn't listen (ok, w/e).
She broke up with him because he was too "clingy" (told him it would happen, and for that reason too).
She flirted with me remained friends with him. I told him she was flirting with her, so he tells her I said that! then he comes up with a hairbrained idea that it would be fun to **** with my head and have her openly flirt with me in front of him.
she doesn't go for it, gets my number from his cell phone.
texts me wants to chill. I tell him again that if he values our friendship than he needs to talk to her.
mind you he's trying to win her back (did i say clingy or what).
he get's pissed of at me for telling him that she's trying to get together with me and completely goes off on me for telling him about what she is doing.
disolves friendship.

I wouldn't recomend it, but I will say that it will test your friendship and if it's not strong enough you will loose a buddy of yours.



My BEST-friend however wouldn't care if it was an ex. hell he'd probably throw me the rubber and tell me to enjoy myself.
It's sh!t like this that defines an acquaintance and a true friend.
