"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.

Please, no DONT SMOKE, IT'S TERRIBLE comments. I just am wondering if anyone has experience with this? Does smoking (not in an addictive way, but in more of a bad-ass way) work with women, or does it actually repel women?

I'm not a smoker, but just a casual smoker when drinking. Anyone have any experience with this?
 

"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.

I think it depends a lot on the woman... Smoking has historically always been seen as sexy. But a lot of girls nowadays find it really disgusting for men to smoke. If you're going to be kissing her later on, it will make your mouth taste like a cigarette.

Smoking is bad, if you want to go for women that are not smokers. To them, smoking is gross, disgusting, etc.

If you are going for underage girls who can't buy cigarrettes, then it actually might be seen as "cool", otherwise I would avoid it.

A woman who smokes might be from indiferent, to actually looking at it as a good thing, since not everyone understands her being a smoker.

And no, there is nothing "sexy" about kissing someone with a cigarrete & mouthwash taste.

1. Women that smoke will date/bang whomever.
2. Women who are opposed to smoking will most likely not date but maybe bang men who do smoke.

I've started conversations because of smoking. I had a good rapport with a 32yr old (I'm 24) two nights ago that all started because I bummed a smoke from her.

I used to smoke, I quit many years ago.
But I agree if the girl smokes, it might actually help. Smoking can be a very social thing. There's nothing like sharing a cigarette with someone (I mean each smoking their own, not literally sharing one cigarette).
Goes well with drinking too, if you're into that scene.

If she doesn't smoke, she will most likely find it disgusting.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

I started smoking about 7 months ago. I've never been turned down for smoking and have picked up a few girls 'through' smoking.

Some girls don't like it so I don't smoke before I meet them, or when I'm with them, if I'm going to be kissing them.

I would absolutely not recommend anyone to start smoking as a way of meeting girls though.

Non-smkoers hate the smell of smoke, and even in a relationship if one person starts smoking it can put a big strain on the relationship and possibly contribute to it ending, it is a revolting smell if you aren't used to it. Smoking being 'cool' went out years ago, now you either do it or you don't.
