"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 im changing my conclusion.

he left you because you are stupid.

once again, he doesnt tell her because he knows it won't do any good and she'll just flip to so that she comes off as the victim.

my participation in this thread is now over.

if you dont get it yet, you're never going to get it.

"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.

Thank you Joe for leaving the thread! You definitely have some emotional problems.

And nobody left me so what are you talking about???? LOL!

Anyway, I was wondering why a guy would not tell a girl that he likes her. Why keep it inside and resort to ignoring her? Mr. Einstein "Joe" obviously couldn't answer this so maybe someone else can.

This scenario only exists if you're still in grade school, the guy is to shy to make a move, or the women acts like she's not interested.

Mr P., I started this thread in response to Ragin Asians thread on ignoring girls, and someone else here just started a thread about ignoring women to boost there interest level. This seems so ridiculous to me and that's why I'm trying to understand it. As a woman, if I like a guy my interest levels gets higher once I know that he is also into me. Ignoring me has the opposite effect. I think it does with other women too, at least the women I know.

Seabreeze, I don't think they understand. Ignoring a woman works if other guys are interested in her, and you act indifferent, making you stand out from the crowd.

If a woman is a 10, you can only fall all over her if she's just as attracted to you as you are to her. If not, you have to act indifferent.

I've personally only ignored women when games needed to be played to get me closer to my goal with them. If a girl genuinely likes you, you won't have to play games like this.
 

"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.

Thanks, Mr P.!

But, I guess I hope that you guys who do use the ignoring tactic realize that it would only work on an insecure woman who's not worth having a relationship with anyway. Any woman who would become more interested in you when you ignore her would probably have underlying low self esteem or be an attention-whoore/drama queen. Most normal women I know like being pursued, and if that doesn't work, then she's just not interested.

A man may ignore you for many reasons.

1) If he ignores you after sex it's because that's all he wanted.

2) Men overtime learn to develop thick skin. In the early stages of dating men need to feel as though they're being accepted by the woman and even the slightest hint of disinterest on her part can cause a man to become ice cold. Even something small like not returning a call when you said you would could cause a man to go from warm to Icy.
