"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.

Perhaps we need a Council of Elders

The problems would be, who should we put up there? How would we decide it? I'm sure everyone would have a different opinion after the first 3 or 4 obvious choices. Then another problem would be, the most obvious choices, i.e. Pook.... they don't post anymore.

Maybe if we asked really really nice we could get Mystery to register here and he could be the alph/omega leader of the council. :rolleyes: :cheer:

Yet another issue: Once this so called council was created, the members would be prime targets for trolls and people who just disagree with everything. They'd challenge anything the council says, and constantly bash them.

When a council member speaks, he will not be able to be challenged by non-council members. Only another member of the council could raise a counter point.

The whole point is to have a group of people who would be the final word on any issue, right? Don't we have the DJ Bible for that?

Yes, but life is always evolving. The bible, sacred as it is, is a dead text, much like the real bible.

This is why Jedi dont have a bible. They live in the moment, and they have a wise council to advise on current issues.
 

"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.

How about we have a rule that you're only allowed to speak while holding the conch shell?

Ha! You only think you are. I'm going to out-dork you by pointing out it was actually Lord of the Flies.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

LOL yeah, enough with the star wars jokes. Eh, I think we are just fine without a council. If you want advice from a particular person that still posts, just pm them.

Yes, I get pm'd with questions. The answers I give there I take more seriously.

All great societies need a council to debate and decide on important matters.

I knew what it was as soon as I read it.

Unfortunately...

:nervous:
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
