"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.

she just gave it to me

just all seems to be way too good to be true
Very beautiful girl who is exactly my type who seems very interested in me. I'm sure she will end up being a catfish

the older pics where she was a thinner is my 10/10
she's probably the demon barber of fleet street
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

im talking to this middle eastern chick and she seems to be a very nice person who is also super cute but conversation just doesn't seem to flow

why you think this is?
possibilities:

1. one or both of you is awkward/shy around new people
2. lack of common ground/incompatibility
3. one or both of you sucks at holding a conversation

so why am I having great convo with the Italian chick?

I have a lot in common with the middle eastern chick. We're from similar region, are big into family values, same age, etc...

He made some progress but still mindset is at bottom 5%

Seems like his insecurities are killing his game.

I think some professional help to deal with those would help greatly.
Seems like he cant enjoy the present and always looking for some future problem, he need to be a hell of alot more spontaneous.


Dave the way you think im afraid you will end up getting a oneitis and because of it screw up the chance to have a real good relationship.

Oneitis is not good my friend, it make a man act needy in a way that almost always repell woman
 

"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.

stop worrying about that. You need to be laid and not interviewing for a relationship. Thatll come later.

Still have complete confidence in you Dave....to sabotage your own success and come here to whine about why she didnt deserve to be the mother of your perfect offspring. Time will tell.....
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

In many cases I would agree.

However, I'm not here to determine Dave's goals. I can care less if he fvcks her or spits in her face.

All I am trying to do is help the man take one solid step towards whatever goal he has. That in and of itself would be a great victory for him.
My opinion that his relationship goal isnt going to be met without taking this intermediate step. He wont even know his choices or respect himself enough until he gets in the game.

Lots of people just dont get into the game.
Jump from ltr to ltr, and thats not good because the learning curve is much slower that way.

Harder for them to spot red flags because of it.
Ik i was that kind of guy,i hope i have learned enough now

You know PEOPLE. The game is life. When we know people we can respind in just and we know what works and what doesnt work for us.

He sells cars so he has no long game. He's used to closing deals in one day. He thinks women work the same way

I posted pics on previous page, that's probably how it's going to look in real life

I want a woman with a hot fit body.
Then dump her and move on. Don't waste her time if you are not interested.

Enjoy being lonely and wondering why you are a victim in life
 

"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.

what if she is gorgeous and can easily get a very hot body with 5 months in gym? especially knowing that she used to be in shape. Am I wasting my time still?

Who cares. Liking her on potential effs things up. Maybe she doesnt want to be in shape.
 

"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.
