"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.

Well, she invited me to her house Thursday. However, I'm probably busy, so it looks like it will happen on the weekend.

Again, thanks for all the awesome input. I'll report back after I see her again.

Meanwhile, I got a # right away from a pretty hot 31 yr old who has been stalking my profile for a couple of weeks.

I definitely find it's best to let them find me, message me, or view my profile more than once.
 

"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.

Let me set you straight. NEVER operate under pressure of "my options aren't as plentiful as they were 10 years ago." You will end up buying a ticket aboard the SS Titanic. There are plenty of men on this board who did just that, me included, who rue the day we got ourselves snookered by some broad. Keep a sharp eye, and don't let any woman take you for a ride.
Absolutely. Keep yourself healthy and in-shape and there's no reason you shouldn't have plenty of options in your late 40s. Yeah, you might not be banging 22 year olds, but women in their mid-30s and up are right there for you.
