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.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
lol. Why do you say that bro? At certain times I have no problem making fun of my self. Or I could use it and switch it around to use it on a girl, while indirectly making fun of her.kody_starr said:It's posts like these which give strong credence to the idea that the internet does more harm than good.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Not bad bro, not bad. Thanks for the advice.Warrior74 said:Self depreciating humor is for those who are above average to bring themselves down to normal and for stand up comedians. Otherwise its just pointing out that you are uncomfortable with yourself and are trying to disarm the situation preemptively by making a joke out of it when nobody even brought it up. Fix your inner game issues. I'm 5'8 and rarely get called short, I don't overcompensate nor do I joke on myself. I carry myself with respect, you should do the same.
The last time I heard something about my height was a bar where this jealous 6'2 guy was mad that I was hitting on one of the girls at his table. He started bragging about how he could pull any chic in the place...I said what's your secret bro, he replied, Get tall like me and you'll know! I retorted with, 'well that's not gonna happen, I guess I'm just gonna have to settle for being charming and good looking'. Needless to say he was even more pissed when the girls laughed at that.
Never put yourself down. Ever.
