"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.

I'll keep it brief because it's 5-f*cking-am and I'm tired.

Interesting Tidbit 1:

Some AMOG started verbally ripping on me at the party. I had my shirt unbuttoned a bit.

AMOG: "Hey, what do you think you are, some playboy? Button up that shirt."

ME (not breaking eye contact): "Hey MAN, I'm just trying to cool off here, you know?"
(We were dancing.)

So he starts buttoning up my shirt for me. I quickly realize that he looks like a dumbass, so I go on:

ME: "Oh, okay, while you're at it, can you get the very top button then?"

So he's standing there trying (and failing) at buttoning up the top button around my collar.

HIM: "I've never buttoned up another man's shirt before."

Somehow we got into an exchange like this, with both of us smiling hugely while holding strong eye contact (there were ladies right next to us):

HIM: "I hate you." (giant grin)
ME: "I hate you too, jerk." (grinning)

Then I was ready to exit gracefully, so I went to give him a slap on the back in Tom Cruise AMOGing fashion.

But he had the same idea at the same time, so we both slapped each other on the back, and realizing we had counter-AMOGed each other, both laughed fakely to save face.

Imagine two simultanous, fake "HA-HA-HA"s coming from two fake overly-deep voices from two metrosexual type alpha males. That's what happened.

Funny thing is, I think through all of that we ended up social proofing each other more than anything.

Later that night I had women lining up to sleep with me at the party. One literally said,

"Let's go to some quiet place where you can tell me all about it" ('it' was whatever bullsh!t we were discussing)

I had three girls dragging me on to the dance floor, whom I resisted in front of another, hotter girl.

It was all crazy social proof building.

I declined all of the makeout sessions I was offered because I was trying to DHV for the hot babe I was really after whom I will see again another night.

I like to go for quality not quantity, i.e. I pick the hottest girl and try to pawn all the others for her. This has worked well for me in the past. We'll see.

Cheers,
Alphathree going to sleep
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

See the problem here is that you got into his frame, and you tried to explain why u got ur shirt unbuttoned.

A better reply would be to look at him in the eye but with a calm relaxed expression, and veeeeery slowly unbutton one more button on ur shirt

Or just say: "what's the matter dude, am i turning u on?" or whatever

Did you start making out after this point? This is sooo homoerotic, dude. Why'd you let him touch you? Sounds like it turned out alright, but in my experience (which I'll admit is limited as I don't seem to come across many AMOGs), saying "Yeah, man" in a dismissive tone then COMPLETELY shutting him out is the easiest way to do it. It keeps you from having to think on your feet, it's pretty effective and you don't risk supplicating.

Um, I don't want to get into a fight, that's pretty needy... it means I have to prove myself.
 

"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.

Having a tool come up to you at a party asking if you a play boy then coming right up close and buttoning your shirt..........thats wrong on so many levels.

I would be angry not to prove myself but because i do not want to have a guy telling me how to dress and touching me like that.

Sorry dude, you made a good recovery, but this AMOG schooled you by getting off the first shot (i.e. button your shrt). He played Sargent and you played Private only because he got the drop on you. This set the pace for the night. You may have recovered well enough, but remembr to hit first and hit hard with an AMOG.
