"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.

Something to think about

As noted here

Physical beauty on a man is simultaneously a blessing and a curse. Attractive men are held to a higher standard, up to and including having to regularly prove that

-They're not simply getting by on their looks alone

-They're more than just another f-c-boy

Don't get envious of what you perceive to be the advantages others possess. Frequently enough, perceptions come nowhere close to capturing the full truth
 

"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.

dude I’m well aware of how Chad guys do it,
And it’s hardly a ‘curse’ (big lol at that.)
I agree with Harmurabimbis first comment.

They are not held to a higher standard etc lol
All the value is projected and presupposed onto them via their looks. They can get away with all sorts of bad behaviour in reality.
————-
also just musing on this Chad thing for the past hour actually.

If a Chad has any ‘secret’ or ‘trick’ besides his great looks… it’s that Chad guys know women well. And know all about the reality of attraction and this 3 second response thing with women. As they’ve seen it 100s or maybe 1,000 times.

So Chads screen for this hard and very quickly - in the first few minutes (or less) To see how ‘green light’ the chick is and what she’s up for.

If she’s not very green light, plays or puts up obstacles he cuts the chick quick and moves on to the next. So as not to waste time.

For example - a Chads texting game is super basic . He asks a few key questions to check for strength of the green light and then gets down to business.

it’s a good model imo…
For any guy. Most guys mistake is they pvssyfoot around and beat around the bush. When they ought to be more assertive. Gotta be willing to lose the ones that are not playing ball for whatever it is you want.

Spend an hour outside, and you'll notice what's kinda sorta discussed here https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19hKBeCXE1/ play out regularly

Being handsome is of limited value, if a man isn't also drenched in personal magnetism. Thus, even though all those fellas in the linked example are attractive, Sebastian Stan* is really the lone consistent panty peeler of them all



*Again, comely looks have been both an advantage and disadvantage to Ol' Seb. He's had to work diligently to demonstrate he can really act, going so far as to take roles which ugly him up

Similar is true of non-celebrity men who are pleasing to the eye. They've got to work hard to prove they're not more shallow than a kitchen sink

@BaronOfHair

seriously, you guys need to stop sprooking this Rediculous idea ..that there are Handsome men out there IRL that DONT have personal magnetism.

they are a tiny % of the population of handsome men. The autistic types. I wouldn’t worry about em.

Like this is a ‘strawman’ argument or something.
I don’t know the name for it. Strawman feels correct.

and stop looking to Actors as examples ffs!
They are playing Characters! They have scripts !
That’s not real life!!

FML.

@BaronOfHair - in addition to the above

this is the guy that runs that channel ‘charisma on command’ - Charlie Houpert.

Question - do you notice anything about him looks wise?

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
