"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.

Trying to shed some of the more debilitating AFC behaviours over my last weeks in Indonesia was great--it was obvious that once I started to read the threads that a few changes needed to be made. Thanks for the DJs who got me started in the right direction. Unfortunately I spent most of my time in that great country doing AFC crap and regreted it.

Back home for a couple of days now and being sent out to the Pacific now--Solomons and Vanuatu. Got a question for a master DJ as AFC affects yer professional life too--might have to be a private message though. New assignment be very different and no place for an AFC either--nowhere is really, cos you're not being true to yourself--had that sorted for a long time. Used to think I was 'missing out' if didn't have a girl around--just enjoying doing my own thing a lot more now. Got a lot of work to do yet though. :up:
Will keep you posted...P
What's up Puddly,

Glad to see you're still improving man. Keep it up.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

How do..?

Hi all. I've been a bit quiet lately cos I got sent out to somewhere in the South Pacific for at least the next few months so I've had to concentrate on work for a spell. Doesn't mean though that I haven't been trying to apply what I'm learning here practically everyday if not actually following the boot camp.
As I couldn't bare the AFC 'lifestyle' much longer--even if I have other parts of life sorted so am continuing on the quest! One thing I have noted is that if you are AFC vis a vis women, it follows that you act that way with work and business a lot too, so that's another reason to try to get a handle on things. Have been seriously taken advantage of business wise and can say that being a AFC was a reason. So while I say I have other things sorted out but after a pretty sucessful time as a younger bloke (even LTR with a 9) but turned to ruin (yeah a shocking case of oneitis) I sort of fell into some bad habits...
I don't mind saying that I have squandered a fair amount of cash/time in the *recent* past on 'renters' (pros and sluts). But its really not my scene and need to get into some social circles where interest is genuine and something a little more meaningful might come about. Anybody else been through these phases? Any insights? Cheers, P
