"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.

I've found happy, upbeat music that automatically makes you feel good is the best. This is probably a song for younger guys, but my all-time favourite is

Ridin' Solo - Jason Derulo

The whole song is basically about how happy he is being single, the lyrics just make me smile. haha

Another one is New Girl - Newboyz

There's more I'm sure. Share any ones you have. :)
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

20 years ago I listened to Jim Croce's "Operator" for days on end after my gf of 4 years and I broke up. Don't do that!

Would recommend anything that goes well with working out, personally. In the past ive turned to alcohol and its awful. Focusing that energy on exercise is so much more productive ive found.

If you are asking because you just had a breakup, good luck to you and hope it passes soon.

Yep just work out like a mad man... It gets your mind off it and gets you prepared to catch the next prey

Well, if you are looking to reflect and perhaps cry in your privacy. I'd recommend good old Phil Collins' "Everyday" and "Do You Remember?"
