"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.

Forgive me if this has been done here before, but I haven't seen it. We've seen all of the "most alpha movie male" threads and "your most AFC move" threads, but not a "most AFC movie character" thread.

Anyway, I'll start.

1. The main kid in "The Last American Virgin."

Pathetic. He falls for the new girl, new girl gets knocked up by his best friend, he pays for girl's abortion :eek: because he "loves" her, girl goes back to best friend in the end. I'll at least give this movie props for portraying how it usually goes in the real world.

2. The whining fat wimp in Broadcast News.

Worst line ever: "Wouldn't it be great if insecurity and desperation made us more attractive? If needy were a turn on?"
:rolleyes:

3. John Cusack in "Say Anything."

Boys meets girl, girl dumps boy, and in typical movie BS fashion, boy kisses girl's a$$, sings her songs, buys her gifts, hounds her night and day, and of course, wins her back.

4. Anything with Alan Alda.

The classic, prototypical "sensitive, new age" man. We seriously need a "puke" smiley here.

5. The title character in "Lucas."

Poor kid falls in love with a girl, girl doesn't reciprocate. She falls for a "sensitive jock" (Charlie Sheen). Kid almost kills himself by going out for football to impress the girl. Happy ending, though; he settles for a much less attractive girl. :rolleyes:

I've come to realize that Hollywood and other media are absolutely screwing manhood in this country.
:mad:
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

It's nothing but the liberalism that's sweeping the country. The conservatives, thank God, are the silent majority. Liberalism does take its toll, seeing how Hollywood and the entire media is very left-wing. Such a tragedy...

“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.

It doesn't. It has to do with the liberal, feminista, "we don't need men", "men succombing to women", mtv, equality bullcrap that has become our mainstream media in recent decades. For example, a James Bond movie portrays a don juan, while the show "According to Jim" shows an AFC and a wife on a power trip, and everyone of us knows when that happens in real life, so does a divorce.

Perhaps try to decipher the underlying meaning next time

I heard that women were surveyed, and they overwhelmingly thought the Alan Alda character was great dating material (fairly smooth with ladies, great sense of humor), and his roomate, BJ, was the sort of guy they would marry.

Haha, speedo_meme, this post is completely unrelated to politics. What are you smoking? I hate when people take any opportunity to voice an opinion.
 

“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.

The disgusting part, of course, is that these stupid movies always follow the SAME formula.

You know what I think? I think they're made for men, not women. Honestly. They're made to present the message, "see, guys? Here's how to win a woman, by kissing her ass and putting her above yourself."

How many guys fall for this sh!t? I know I did for almost my entire adult life.

Damn all movies are AFC, even stiffler from american pie has his moments. Like the title, they are movies, and like most movies they kill the player, almost everytime making him fall in love etc etc. However i do think that sappy movies give us our power, like most love films, the AFC gives out roses buys expensive gifts, basically a dog in which most women walk all over them.
Think of the black eyed peas song"my humps" the lady tells of how all the guys buy her expensive gifts to get 'touch' her lady humps. "my humps"black eyed peas the song dedicated to the AFC's

Oh please... this man makes me physically sick. He is the most appalling English export since... well, ever.

Sample line from any Hugh Grant movie: "Oh I,I,I...I....I.......I was just.... um... y'know... um.... I... was... just wondering if... if... you'd be.... be.... um... so kind as to.... um....er, maybe... if... it's not too much trouble.... um.... er, maybe... um... go for a.... um... a... drink... y'know, of course... if its... um, maybe... convenient?!?"

AND his character always gets the girl at the end... as if that is 'charming' or 'endearing' to women. PLEASE... that man should be shot.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

James Bond is no AFC you ****. But he is just a fictional movie character. Floyd, this thread has EVERYTHING to do with how the media portrays movies and tv shows to the public. Seems like you were the one voicing an opinion, dipsh*t.

Jack Dawson from Titanic.


He was a pretty, no wait, very bad AFC in that movie. It also makes me wonder how in the hell that movie won Best Picture.

Agreed. Julia Roberts walks all over him in Notting hill, numerous times, and he still runs back to her.
 

"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.
