"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.

Can somebody recomment some good books on mature behavior? At 27, I still find myself endulging in immature behavior. Specifically, trying to be funny when in actuality, I am not. Since this is a self improvement forum, I need someones suggestion on book. Thanks.
 

“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.

"How to Win Friends and Influence People" is a bit dated, but the principles of it are solid. The author is Norman Vincent Peale.

"Love's Executioner" is one of the best books I've ever read, though it might not be for you. I'm deeply interested in psychology and counseling, not everyone is, of course. It's about a well known psychologist/counselor and stories of his dealings with patients. It's a mind blower in how people put up barriers in their lives and how they overcome there. I highly recommend it, it's a quick read.

Hope those two help.

The Four Agreements, by Don Miguel Ruiz.

Must-read for every mature man.

I ordered a book called The Ways of the Superior Man, by David Deida, which is all about embracing the natural polarity between men and women. Very pro-male book, at least from what ive read. Ill let you know when i finish it.

the great beyond
author: Epictetus

both his "Manual" and his Discourses
 

"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.

I just read I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell by Tucker Max and laughed out loud probably twice for every page in the book. Though, I think that might be the exact opposite of what you're looking for.

Some of the NLP books are interesting. Though, I found a lot of it didn't work for me at all.

what is wrong with trying to be funny? Is your humor immature? Or do you find humor in general as an immature thing? I am confused. One of the best traits in a man is his humor and ability to be funny. Laughter is the shortest bridge between two people.
