"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.

The Female Brain - Trailer

Watched this movie the other night. Pretty comical. It's about several couples and how the man and woman interact with each other. I'm sure most will be able to relate and have a few laughs. The movie also throws out a few gems on why women act like they do:

1. When women are under stress, they release cortisol that makes them feel under control and they will act more demanding. This is where some of their "bitchiness" comes from.

2. Grooming releases endorphins in the female brain. I've felt endorphins release after a good work out, but never after shaving my pubes!

3. Women are more likely to see flaws than men.

4. Women who were exposed to stress while in the womb such as parents arguing become addicted to stress chemicals. Later in life this results in greater anxiety and related issues.

5. Women can't beat men physically, so they beat us down emotionally. <---Never thought of it this way, but there are some real prize fighters out there fella's, be careful!

One of the biggest shortcomings of feminism is that they cling to the ridiculous notion that men and women are exactly alike in every way. They just can't deal with the idea of apples and oranges being different, and yet neither is better than the other, just different.
Feminism is an ideology that was invented by men. Initially, the goal was to get the women into the workforce (and working for low wages). Later, it became a weapon of social warfare (i.e brainwashing women to support and vote for left-wing causes).

Good movie, thanks for the suggestion. Stuck inside with the flu so looks like I'll be needing a lot more movies to watch over the weekend. Any other good ones?
 

"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.

It's not only exclusively women thinking along that lines.

It's men doing the same and in even worse percentage.

Thinking that humans have a unisex brain is pure stupidity.

I never watched Sex and the City (series not the movies) before but I've been watching it on Amazon Prime (free if you're a Prime member)...pretty surprising that it was a late 90s show!

It's not a shortcoming. It's an outright lie. And it does tremendous disservice to both genders.
