"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.

Ok, i have read countless of threads and news stating that when you marry a chick and divorced her you have to give her half of your money, even if you were married only a month.

heck michael jordan had to give her fukin wife 180 millions just because he divorced from the gold digger.

Now this is incredible stupid to me, i dont understand why americans get married knowing this. (forget the alimony)

In mexico we have a law where you have 2 choices when you marry, your brides money and yours mix together and if you divorce,each get half and half.
OR, not mixing each ones money, so if you divorce, she wont get a penny from you and you wont get a penny from her.

Why dont americans do that??

hows the situation there, please explain
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Your ex-wife gets half of everything made during the marriage by each of you. She is not supposed to get wealth that one side carried into the marriage. A prenup can help that, although prenups are not iron-clad. If they are too harsh against one side, then a judge can throw them out.

Divorce laws are ilogical, unconstitutional, unholy, anti-man and down right satanic!

someone explain to me how it is logical for a man like Paul mccartney to give away millions which he earned through hard work for decades to somebody he was married to for a year or 2. Explain to me with logic how that woman can be entitled to any of that money he earned through decades before they were even married.

it is sick. The worst thing an intelligent man can do is marry a western woman. Sure you can find a down to earth and traditional one that won't screw you over, but that is like getting struck by lightning in odds. Your best bet is to never get married, and if you do get a mail order bride.

Work on your game, have fun screwing american chicks/euro chicks, then when you get old and you think it is time to settle down head for estern europe or the filipines/asia and latin america and find yourself a real woman from a place where women are still raised to treating men as #1.

Yeah, I don't get how McCartney's wife got so much loot then. Jordan's wife raised a family with him and stayed with him through obnoxious golf episodes and gambling, oh yes and baseball.

Unfortunately I think marriage is just a symbolic gesture that translates into very real consequences, which almost never work out favorably for the breadwinner of the couple.
 

"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.

there are ways to get around prenups to still make the man pay...the courts love to side by women, divorce becomes hell for the man...don't believe me? ask any divorced man. its not only ridiculous but ludacris.

Not only get a pre-nup, but also make sure everything you own is put into another persons name, like your parents or siblings. That way if you get a divorce, they can't take stuff that they don't actually own.

Prenups aren't legally recognized in many countries, and often they are the same countries that have defacto or co-habitation law which makes the woman entitled to a fair bit of what you have, kinda like marriage-lite.

Some of us here are divorced, Ken. Not everyone has a horror story. My ex-wife paid for everything in my divorce. My current gf paid for her own divorce and left her ex with everything.

The horror stories usually come when there are kids, and the woman keeps the father from being able to see them, or after long marriages. There are plenty of horror stories out there, but divorcing without kids or much money is not that big of a deal.

I should clarify, it depends on the type of women your wife is and how your marriage ends i guess. I still dont think marriage is all that great right now...

whats the difference? You get a party,ring,certificate and small tax break. Wowsers...how much does a wedding cost? A fvck load if you let the b1tch plan it.
 

"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.

I thought the tradition was the Bride's family payed for the wedding? They did away with that along with dowries. Now I guess the man is suppose to feel honored to marry and he pays and pays.

The courts love to be instruments of socialist redistribution, and more often than not the man makes more money and is worth more money before the marriage to boot.


Here's a for instance from a good friends personal tragedy:

24 year old guy marries 40 year old woman, they are together almost 18 years. In that time she quits her menial dead end job and just live a life of mostly leisure. Her tasks essentially entailed keeping the domicile clean and neat and doing most of the laundry and some cooking. They ate out a lot and she actually seldom fixed evening meals.

Now they are getting a divorce and due to her age (57) and the fact that she hasn't worked (by her own choice) for almost 18 years she may very well be eligible for LIFETIME SPOUSAL SUPPORT. Insult to injury, of course she's the one who wants the divorce.

How is that right?

I'd like some cute 25 year old babe to offer to marry me, sex me up regularly, pay my bills and give me spending money for the next couple decades and if I ever get tired of it I can walk off with $3000 a month forever. Heck, I could keep my job and hire a maid to do what his wife used to do and in 20 years I'd be filthy rich.


Oh, wait, that's a guys way of thinking and if I did that I'd still get screwed because I was fiscally prudent and worked hard.

to have children and a family?
do you not want your name to go on and for your parents to have grandchildren?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
