"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.

Some people are just naturally toned.... so they're prolly just wondering if your really putting in the work to look that way, or if you just have great genetics. I lift weights and sometimes I'll ask someone if they lift for that very reason. And lifting weights is like a fraternity. It's like if you love star wars and then one day u see a guy wearing a Luke skywalker shirt you'd think to yourself, I wonder if that guy is into star wars like me or is he just wearing the shirt cuz it looks nice. With you a guy is thinking... does that guy workout hard, or is he just naturally like that
 

"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.

My Tanita Ironman bodyfat scale summarizes the body types well, using a rating of 1-9. It makes a 3x3 grid. On the worst corner (a 1) a person has lots of fat, and no muscle. On the far corner ( a 9) a person has little fat and lots of muscle. All combinations are represented. Over the 6 years I've had it, I've seen my rating (which started a 5) go as low as 2 (49% water, 25% fat) and as high as 9 (60% water, 8% fat). This explains why on some days women throw themselves at me and some days they run.

Women are like human bodyfat scales.
Bodyfat scales are highly inaccurate at best.

Yes, but day over day, at the same time of day, they indeed show you a lot about your state.

For example, whenever I would score, I would score 6-9. When I felt sick, I would score 2-5.

And if you graph your fat % over time, it shifts gradually, not suddenly.

One puzzling part is whether you call yourself Athletic or not. This results in drastically lower body fat.
