"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 had given up on online dating. My pictures were getting a
ratings in the low 7's;one was an 8. I got very few responses, and almost all uggs. I thought I was too plain looking.

Some how I got lured back into it, and started manipulating the pictures with the software that came with my digital camera. I now have a picture with a 9, a 8.9 and an 8.4. And I am getting responses from hot women.

A professional photographer who does marriage photo's and **** is not going to get you these types of photos. The skillset required is a graphic artist using something like Adobe Photoshop.
You can learn it yourself but it does take some time.

You can download a free version for free (for 30 days) at Adobe's web site.

You can make your picture come alive. Good photo's are mostly about lighting and you can manipulate that with Photoshop.Add a sun tan, add a background. I took a 7.2 picture and made it into a 9.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Kewl! You then go see them in person and it's like all of the sudden you got some bad rash of zits and dark bags under your eyes!

I don't have zits and I don't have black bags

You don't want to misrepresent yourself; you want to make yourself look YOUR BEST.

If you have zits get medication for it. If you have black bags,get more sleep and stop drinking.

Enough!

I've heard stories from women about guys that have done things like this. It was hard for me to believe it but now I see proof of it.

Guys, women aren't stupid, maybe naive but not stupid. Tricks like this just makes you look lame once you meet. Trust me, women talk about guys that do this and they have little respect for you.

Women do this all the time. Men shouldn't.


On that note be careful. So many times I think a girl is hot, then meet her in person and she looks like my a$$.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Why do people think that hot looking women will only got out with hot _looking_ guys? This is a terrible approach man.

You want to make you self look ASTOUNDINGLY GOOD in a picture and when you show up you’re 75% of that since peoples crazy brains will fill in the blanks with what they want to see in online pictures rather than what’s actually real (this can go both ways, positive and negative) (psych 101)

If you convey things that women find hot with your words and actions you're golden.

Ever have a girl call you hot because you saw her, didn't hesitate, and walked right up to her starting a conversation in a cool and calm way? They think that's "hot".

Crazy tribal tattoos can be "hot"

Toned out bodies can be "hot"

Extreme levels of confidence, yep can be "hot"

Red shirts - some girls think they are "hot"

displaying strength of character in social situation can be "hot"

cool ass haircut - can be "hot"

I even had a old girlfriend call a kitty cat mask that was half zoro half cat woman "HOT"

I remember a long time ago I was at work and this ******* of a jerk was talking about all the women he'd banged and used. This good looking co-worker was standing around listening and she chimes in "God, all men are such pigs", since I detest this thinking since I'm not one I just casually said "we aren't all that way" and looked away with a distant thoughtful look in my eyes (not on purpose but thinking back) she thought the strength in my comment was "hot"

Give this guy a break....how else will women talk to him online if they dont even think the guy is at least moderately hot?

How can he show hes an ALPHA MALE if girls dont even START to talk to him cuz his pics are rated 7

But you shouldnt give yourself things you dont have like tans

Just put a border around your picture, so it stands out....

But the best technique of all time is to shade the whole picutre, to make it black and white, or shade it yellow, or blue w/e....it looks really good (basically your fuzzing the pic so you look better)

Just dont go too far with it!

I still think it's easier to just have an engaging personality.

That's readily apparent. That's why some of us stand out online more easily than others.

so because someone gets a high pic rating that makes him an alpha male? maybe he should get out of his basement, turn off the computer go out into the real world and meet women live for goodness sake!

im sorry but altering your pic to make yourself look like something you aren't just sounds so lame. A lot of this online dating stuff is for p***** who are afraid of taking their game to the real world. Instead they post pics hoping some girl will chat with him, like if that is supposed to make you a dj you puzz.

But the way you convey yourself to people online and actual personality aren't even the same thing. You could be a great writer (and write a great profile for yourself) and be completely introverted and shy in person. There's not necessarily any connection between the two.

It's one thing to completely alter your pic to the point of being deceiving, it's another to touch it up a little. Some people just aren't photogenic. It's just gonna help you get your foot in the door.

What you are describing is incongruence, guys should take care of that before attempting to become a DJ. Not doing so will always pull them back into their AFC ways.

Not being photogenic is one thing but what happens after you get your foot in the door? Would someone be able to keep up the charade?

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Yup, nothing screams "alpha male" quite like photoshopping your picture to impress the chicks on the Internet :crackup:

This is ridiculous.
I'm fed up of this 'digital enhancment' stuff taking over our lives. Every magazine has pictures that are air brushed so much the actual person in it might aswell not turned up. People even get abs airbrushed onto them now!

It's a sad state of society when false cosmetics are taking over the organic & pure beauty of nature.

Online dating response is primarily based on the photo. The problem is, some people are not photogenic. They look better in person. The reverse is also true: some people are very photogenic but not as good looking in person. I happened to see a female model once in person that I had seen in a major magazine. She looked great in the magazine, but in person she was too tall and kind of gaunt looking.
