"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.

Can you imagine a music video like this being made in today's climate?


Or how about a movie with these type of scenes:

In today's climate, one would say that these people would need to see a shrink, lol! What is crazy today was normal a few decades ago.
 

"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.

Those are some damn glorious harmonies in that Huey Lewis song. Sh1t would never be made today either.

Let’s fix this thread:

I'm not sure if this beats Selena's video:


But it might be a close second.

However, back on topic of 80s music videos......

Here is a wierd 80s music video:


This has 249M views, which is rather high for an 80s music video. Do not see that this was "propped" up by any recent movies or TV-show referrencing that music.

This Kate Bush music video "Running Up The Hill" is also an 80s music video, but it was propped up by Stranger Things episode 4 as being integral to the plot story-line (ie and delivering a major punch the way in which it was delivered):

If this music video was not propped up by Stranger Things, it would likely still be sitting at 20 Million views or even less. Look at her other song Cloudbusting. It was only referenced in one episode on Handmaid's Tale (2019 - season 3, episode 11), and near the end of the movie Palm Springs (2020)

Just the first part where he kicks away the gay guy...even before he hires the blonde bombshell would be enough to create outrage nowadays.

 

"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.

Two live crew broke down a lot of doors in the industry a lot of glam bands owe them a debt of gratitude .
