"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.

Some are, some aren't. No different than my guy friends. I don't have deep conversations with most of the guys I would consider friends, why should it have to be any different with the women?
If you don't have deep convos with them (male or females)...then they are not your friends.

They are just a bunch of hang out buddies.
 

"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.

That hurts. According to your definition, I HAVE NO FRIENDS! lol

Seriously though, if you must have deep convo's with someone to call them your friend, well, I dunno about that.

People I know fit into one of three levels.

Level 1- Close friends. These are the people who I can really share things with. Only have a few of these.

Level 2- Friends. People who I see regularly who I enjoy being around. Most of the time we aren't sharing intimate details of each other lives, but these are people who have proven themselves worthy of my time and trust.

Level 3- Acquaintances. I have LOTS of these. Most people do. These are people who I see on occasion, are friendly with, but at the same time I don't make any special attempt to pursue a stronger social bond.

Where does "hang out buddy" fit into this?

I would bet that you have two different scales for men and women when it comes to friendship.

Anybody remember ROY G. BIV?

In physics we learned this acronym to remember the color spectrum. You know red, orange, yellow, and green, blue, indigo, violet.

Are there only 7 colors in the universe?

ROY G. BIV is a gross oversimplification to help us grasp the infinite spectrum.

We have no way of knowing if any two human brains “see” the same color when looking at “red”.

I think we each see the “color” of a female friend differently. I can’t make you think its “blue” if you see it as “orange”. Because, for you, it really is “orange”.

Holy sh*t, now I know on what kind of man the Mr. Big character is based on from Sex in the City. He is a total DJ, but....

Yes I watch the show, I have HBO on demand and I let the girls watch it. It's actually very funny and I crack on all the AFCs and some of the main characters.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
