"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.

“That’s f*cked up” / “Isn’t that f*cked up?”

Gawd, I hate those phrases and usually am irritated by the people whom speak them, because usually my answer is “No, it’s not ‘f*cked up.’”
 

"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.

Most annoying is when a friend screws you over and says:


"Nothing personal, just business."

"pun intended." I don't give a **** if your pun was intended.

"In my opinion," Thanks for pointing out whose opinion it was, because I wasn't sure.

"Ehh" as in...
"How are you?"
"Ehh..."
Go die.

"Be sure to pack extra pairs of dry socks..." as opposed to extra pairs of wet socks?

"That may or may not be the case." Thanks for pointing out the only two possibilities for any scenario in existence.

"Get a mac. They're way better." Anytime someone has computer issues.
"Get a life" is what I want to say back to them.

"No offense, but..." but you're going to say something offensive?

Any quote from Monty Python, Half Baked, Harold and Kumar, or any other stupid movie that everyone's seen a million times will force me to kill you.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
