"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 have recently jumped into the Online Dating scene, about 4 months ago. I have had plenty of dates and am spinning a few plates as a result.

1. Online dating is time consuming in that you can spend a lot of time on the apps.

2. Some of the profiles of women on these sites are funny and some are outrageous. Amazing how intitled some women are. They have a lengthy shopping list of "demands". There is a good chapter on this in the "Rational Male". Tomassi makes up a profile and has fun with stating "his" demands in response to those that he saw on the app. Very funny!

3. When I meet of the "matches" for a date most of them did not seem to pay much attention to my profile on the app. Maybe it is just me but.
I want to say "didn't you pay any attention? Isn't that the reason that you agreed to meet me for a date...the info in my profile."

It has been somewhat entertaining, but I may get bored and lay off the apps for awhile.

Any thoughts??
 

"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.

It's a numbers game. Always has been always will be. Men who don't understand this and get attached to results from a few women don't do well.

In regards to what you bring up...yes it can be, devise a system that minimizes your time while maximizing your value from it.

Yup, it helps screen women out by reading their profile so you waste less time.

Pretty common, although many also do read your profiles. Like men, many agree based on looks alone.

It's very easy for our human brains to focus on the negative. That goes for both men and women, of course.

It's never a bad idea to take a break from the apps.
