"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.
 

"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.

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.

"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.

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...
