"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.

this is the way i always invensioned self esteem working when it comes tow omen

you in your head, have a general HB rating of what you give yourself overall. I believe every time you deal with a girl, rather it be to approach her, or to try to escolate a date, or to push for sex, or put your foot down or whatever, i feel like your brain does a mini check to see what your HB self esteem is and compare it to the girl and what you precieve her to be, than it acts accordingly. to use an example before i got to this site i would have no problem chatting or pushing for sex with a cute or avg looking girl but the thoroughbreds, i would clam up. i gave tehm a better grade than i gave myself and i was too afraid to lose them to make a hard move.


so 2 questions


1. what would you rate your self esteem?


2. what do you think you can do to improve your self esteem rating?


I keep a daily/weekly tab of this actually have for a while. I give myself at this moment a 9.2. I think pretty highly of myself. At my lowest i was a 4.8.

I think to get better I can stop procrastinating on these projects I want to do. there were also a few goals that i set for 2012 that i didn't even really try all that hard to attempt. I want to learn japanese, we are going to japan/tyoko next year and i want to know enough to get around by then. i haven't so much as picked up a book lol.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

I rate my self esteem at an 8

To improve I just need to work out more.


I'm 39 with a decent sized gut, but i'm pretty muscular too so it doesn't look so bad. And i've pulled anything from 1-10 so I really believe that for me it's just a matter of finding a girl that likes my "look" I do have a look. Loosing the gut to me means losing body mass I kinda like where I am now honestly.
 

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

Right now I rate my self at a 9 - always room for improvement. It's at a healthy high because I have become one with myself. Quite frankly, I'm being honest with who I am.

Used to be a 4 though, when I wasn't honest with myself and was living a lie.

Arete, a greek word for excellence, is a principle i have emblazoned in my mind. to fully assume arete means living up to one's full potential. in order to do so, one must constantly strive for excellence. excellence in all modalities of life. if you engage in this mindset you are living to your fullest; you are humbly confident because you have become one with yourself. it is an utmost understanding and appreciation for yourself as a human being. as opposed to egotistical confidence, which is false confidence and transparent.

Typically, I'm a 5 in self-esteem, but it varies. I'm generally a humble/modest guy.

Sometimes it can temporarily peak as high as 8. Right now, maybe it's 7 at most.

I don't know why anybody (male or female) should be full of themselves. We're all human. That's why AWs crack me up :).

I'd give myself an overall 8. Sometimes it drops but on average an 8.

Self improvements would definitely be get back into cold approaching without the hesitation, and the care of the outcome.

good thread, self esteem is at the crux of most mens problems..NOT WOMEN!
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

8.5 - 9. 5-6 months ago I would've been a 5, and a year ago, probably a 3 or 4. Working with my coach helped me progress.

Now I've got a much better idea of my self-worth.. and if I'm honest with myself, I've got a lot going for me.

Lots - work out and improve your self-image, work hard in school, complete the goals you want, and be honest with your own value rather than trying to put yourself down.

I'm probably at a 9.5. My self esteem is usually above 9 except for certain days. Some days I just wake up and don't feel like anything. (Like sundays.. I hate sundays).

But for that Japanese go ahead a get you Rosetta Stone. I got the French Rosetta stone and it is working. and no I did not pay for it.

sometimes i wonder if bb is bipolar
could very well be.

He definitely has his manic episodes. But I am no expert.

And in fact he has very low self-esteem. You can easily spook him

with mild disagreement.

If five of us got together and told bb we disapprove him, he would start his goodbye notes.

I think Rollo has self-esteem around 9's, and maybe Zarky. Probably Danger as well. I can't think of any other rock-solid persona here.

You can feel it, they don't need to advertise it, you can't touch those guys.

bb? You can easily make him cry.

lol, maybe they are just "emotionally unavailable"??? haha
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I tried rosetta with french and i didn't care for it. I ended up using Michel Thomas for the french and that **** was great. that and my wife speaks fluent french. Thomas doesn't do Japanese though so I'm SOL. I'm going to try the other big one i can't think of hte name right now.

If five of us got together and told bb we disapprove him, he would start his goodbye notes.
that's the thing... 5 of you aren't going to get tougher and "disapprove" of me beucase not everyone is a butt hurt faggot that goes into every thread flaming at someone else.

every guy you listed, even danger, who i don't agree with, respects the **** out of me and i respect the **** out of them. YOU are the only guy who goes around acting butt hurt every other thread. you are the only guy who wastes 5 of his 25 posts doing nothing but starting posts flaming me. and i'm hte one with low self esteem lol.

there are very specific types of people whose skin i get under.. people who are on my level don't have a problem with me. i to be frank the people whose skin i get under, let me know i'm going in the right direction. you're the guy at my house who gets butt hurt that the girl he likes is looking at me and tries his damnest to AMOG me to make himself feel better. that guy can hate me all day long i dont' want to be that guy's friend.

no one on this forum is more criticized, not even close, to myself. mostly by you

rightfully or wrongfully, there's no way i can be a contributing member of the forum and deal with it and have everyone like me. id on't even want everyone to like me. if id ont' call you out, you spend half your post like you did last month flaming me. like this

if i do call it out i'm insecure.



i have al ine, i just don't let people cross. never have. like now. if you want to talk to me about DJ **** i can talk to you all day long about it. if you want to talk about how low my self estem is and spend an entire thread talking about how much i suck and how low my self esteem is, yeah i'm going to defend myself.

I will make a deal with you BM.. find me ONE.. ONE post in my entire posting history that i started for the entire purpose of flaming you that was not in response to you flaming me like you have done here and i won't post until 2013. ONE

you can't do it. I know you can't do it and you know you can't do it. You go around making yourself ****ing judge and jury


and it's people like you why i CAN'T leave this site.. the site needs me. in the game we are in you have idealist and motivators and you have field generals. I'm a field general. I can give practical advice better than most guys here can in regards to the opposite sex. you know how many pm's a week i get asking for specific tactical advice?

i dont' know what your deal is i don't have **** against you or really anyone here. if i get under your skin that much block my post and leave it at that. but if bite back.


you've taken my entire post, which was 100% to try to give people some perspective on how they rate themselves versus how they rate the girls they are after and turned it into an arm chair pop phyc session.

it's alot easier to sit on the sidelines and start posts about how the world is going to end and how we need a new world order and **** then it is to get out in the field and actually try to contribute relevant **** to the site.

you don't like me beucause i'm everything you want to be and can't be.. you have no balls, you don't try, you wish you can get hit on the chin and not give a **** but that's not possible for you, you wish you could have game like i do but don't nor have the will to work at it to acquire the skill set. so for you it's easier to make posts like this.

people who actually are out there and trying, dont' have a problem with me. people who strive to do ****, dont' have a problem with me. it's only the people in the stands who have a problem with me.

Peace.

Edit: Did you really copy & paste the same thing three times in your reply to get some spectator attention? Haha, this really is getting to you, isn't it?
You just proved how insecure and vulnerable you are. Again.
Damn, you're like some crazy ***** stalking the man. Get off his nuts lol
 

"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.
