"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.

Sad that this is the realist hip hop song...

..that I've heard on the radio in years (and on an alternative station at that).

I rarely listen to the radio I heard this today on my way to the office. Found out it was Everlast from the House of Pain (old school business). He pretty much summed up what my life is like right now. I'm getting by, but damn it's hard to not take the low road and do some dirt to make these ends meet.

I quit listening to rap, because I couldn't relate any more. I'm not a young kid doing stupid stuff and chasing girls. I'm not a millionaire and it doesn't please me to hear another man brag about how rich he is and how great his life is. To quote one of those rappers I don't listen to any more " What you eat don't make me sh1t" - Jay Z. Yup. When this is the realist thing on the radio, that relates to the life that most people are living, it says something about rap music and its "commercial message".

This has been my theme song lately. I see parallel themes here.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

As Ayn Rand said, " I can SEE the "person next door", every day, so why would I want to read about him/them?" :) Same for hearing about them. Why would I bother with the mundane, when I can read about or listen to the finest that mankind can produce? I'll take the Boss, Tom Perry, many others, any day, over the crap that you hear today.

Don't worrry. Recording artists make little to no money. Fat f---- like Lou Pearlman make the money and sleep with the talent. But lets be honest. No young boy is going to get excited over a fat, sleazy, gay Jewish dude who builds a teenage boys fantasy park at his house. If I sound jealous it is because I am :yes:

Always the disgusting fat dudes who get the prime action from your stars (before you ever heard of them ;).
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

easy to say stuff about somebody. the reason you don't show some illustrating quotes, etc, is because you are INCAPABLE of it.

I used to be a huge hip hop head in my teens, but mostly old school stuff like Big L, Big Pun, Rakim

now the only emcee I listen to is Eminem, but i've been following him since i was 12. everything else is rock. Black Keys, Zeppelin, etc

everything now is about "swag" and money and all kinds of garbage. i can't relate
