"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 am clueless about what to wear anymore. I gave up on staying in style in middle school. lol I have not idea what clothes women find attractive on men anymore. Only the pants I have anymore are work pants and dress pants. Mostly just t shirts and a few dress shirts and shoes are just tennis shoes, work boots and a one pair of dress shoes.
 

"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.

Start with Primer Magazine's "The Getup."

http://www.primermagazine.com/tag/the-getup

It's not advanced and doesn't vary much but it lays out options that are classically stylish, color coordinated, and layered to break down the basics of male fashion.

I'd also figure out what color clothes work best with your skin tone. I'm pale with green/blue eyes so I wear alot of green and blue to show off my eyes with subdued colors like beige, olive, and off-white.

Take a couple of female friends with you shopping once or twice. They love make overs so they will be eager to go and may even buy you a piece or two. They will give you another perspective that you might not have considered.

Good luck.

Fairshake, good links - repped.

OP, also look at guys out in public places and notice who looks good and who doesn't, and then analyze the differences. Specifically look for folks with your body type and take cues from that. I have learned a lot that way.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Dear NiteRider,
Your info on shoes is quite disastrous...It may surprise you,but most are obsessed with shoes...having such a Tall girl...Your current belle exceeds six Feet I believe...Heels are a must!...I suggest Zip up Cowboy boots...In Cool weather a stylish Ascot style Cravat/Scarf looks good!

I've posted this advice before and it's always served me well. Find a celebrity with your same age, body frame, and coloring, and copy them. They spend thousands of dollars of stylists... look at what they wear in pictures and you will know what works best for you.

Go out and about. When you see a couple and you see a girl who is attractive, one you'd bang, see what the dude with her is wearing and copy that.

Man! Can modern "fashion" for men be any more unmanly? That's my main gripe with a lot of those websites.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

It's not about becoming a princess, it's about looking good. A man should dress well.

Most guys don't have a clue how to dress, myself included.

When I started dating again, I made a small investment of $15 to buy;

AskMen.com Presents
The Style Bible: The 11 Rules for Building a Complete and Timeless Wardrobe.

Great book with simple, practical advice that you can build on...
Then head out to a local discount mall every couple of weeks after work and see what you can pick up.
Don't try to do it all at once. Be selective and (armed with knowledge) start buying individual pieces that work well together...
It doesn't have to cost a fortune.

And I second the comment on shoes...
Women LOVE shoes and it's the first thing they notice....
They won't typically comment on bad shoes, but will almost always comment on nice, stylish shoes.

You don't have to look like a fashion model...
You just need to look better than the last guy she went out on a date with...
