"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.

Who will win the men's NCAA basketball championship?

Illinois or North Carolina?

I could care less, with Kentucky already out of it.
 

"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.

Illinois.

Because I live there.

And like 50% of our school goes to Urbana.

IL is a team of destiny
they've only lost once this year so if (when) they win the NC they'll have had the most wins of any team in NCAA history
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Phew, thank god i didn't lay a bet on this one. Really good game though, My boy bet on NC not only to beat the spread (Which was small) but had them winning by less then 8!!

20 dollar bet won him 370 (350 plus his 20 dollar wager back)

Live by the 3, die by the 3

NC was just a bit better ... at least that night.

Funny that the Sagarin computer rankings had NC #1, just a bit ahead of Illinois. I think Duke or Louisville was #3. I think Mich State was better than Duke, at least at the end of the year.

After those crazy regional final games, it all seemed so anticlimactic.
