"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've been meaning to post a pic to get some feedback. I will keep the pics on here for a limited time for privacy reasons, maybe a few hours or a day tops.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/75217535@N06/

The picture on the right (with the black shirt) was me in late 2010. Actually, that setup worked pretty well for me game-wise.

With my hair thinning, I've gotten away from just spiking the front up and decided to try going back to the all messy look. The picture on the left is me tonight after a hair cut. (Or I could possibly do a more wet look with gel, but that might be too try hard and would look more balding.)

Ignore the cheesy pink shirt. That is just an old shirt that I wore in case they got color on it. My hair might seem a little too dark, but the color will fade in to something close to my natural very dark brown in a week or so.

I also let some 5 o'clock shadow to undo a bit of nice guy-ness.

But overall, what do you guys (and girls) think?

I'm 5'10" 175# with a slender build, but am toning up.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

you're a good lookin' mo foe. I think i recall you posted something a long time ago about how u didn't even kiss a girl until you were 27? Hard to believe after looking at those pics. NO HOMO.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I agree with Dust 2 Dust on the sideburns. The second picture is the best, and you look good.

Thanks everybody. I'm flattered.

Rubato & Dust 2 Dust -- By 2nd pic, do you mean the new pic on the left or older one on the right? I want to make sure I follow.

The sideburns thing is a good idea. I'll have to grow them out some more. I'm greying in that area, but I can get them colored with my hair fairly easily.


btownbuck2012 -- Thanks. Yes it is true that I didn't kiss a girl until 27. Looking back, it was a combination of factors such as being sheltered, having no confidence, and not really trying.


All --- I'll probably leave the pics up until late tomorrow morning, and then remove them from Flicker.

Thanks again.

Any other comments are welcome.

Now, man, take it from me. If you want to rock that pomp you have to fix that **** up a bit. Just so happens I keep enough grease in my hair to lubricate a chevy big block.

Start with this.

Worth every ****ing cent by the way, not crappy like gel, not invulnerable like murrays superior and your chick won't whine about it greasing up her pillows.

Maker it shine with a couple dabs of this.

Carry a comb and look in the mirror a lot. (not necessary but feels good man)


This stuff smells effing great, just picked some up, makes you smell like ya just left the barber.

"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 don't like the hair just shooting for the sky....I think you should comb it over towards the side somewhat. I feel that a longer "Don Draper" haircut with sideburns would look good. I really dislike the "wings" you have going in the pink shirt pic.

I thought you looked better in the right side picture. You could still use the left pic, but spiked hair without sideburns doesn't look good on you or any men for the most part.
