"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.

Chantix and all that other crap won't work.

I like smoking too much. It makes me feel like crap when I smoke too much, but on the whole I like it. Gives me a way to 'get away' from whatever I'm doing at the time and take a break, whether it be a social function, long day at work, etc. Gives me something to do when I'm on the cell phone. I love smoking when I drink and play golf. I love smoking while I drive long distances (which I frequently have to do for work).

Ideas? Really the only reason I even want to quit is because it's so bad for you.

I wonder if there's such a thing as smoking in moderation? Wonder if there's some statistics that say so many cigarettes is what raises your chances for cancer?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Hi speed dawg,
Few tips on how to quit smoking:
Make a plan to quit smoking and stick with your decision,
Buy a saving jar and keep the money you would spend on ciggerates.
Give yourself reward by planning for a treat with this money,
Keep your teeth clean,
Visit your doctor and get support from him.

Cold Turkey is the only legit way. I was like you and had no desire to quit smoking. I smoked for 4 years. When I went through basic your not allowed to smoke at all for 9 weeks. It was hell, I was goin through withdraws, detox, and feening like a mofo. On top of dealing with the stress of dealing with all the dumb bs they like to play there.

When I finally made it out I had a few smokes at tech school but I didn't pick it back up(no desire too.) Havnt had a cigg in 2years. I'd blaze before I smoked another cig.
