"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.

Hey guys,

I just had this crazy idea that offer a solution to the getting married and not get TOO screw over with the divorce laws. Therefore making marriage less risky if you do it this way.

I propose planning to get married and divorced around 10 years and every 10 years. Reason for ten years is that's when alimony laws kicks in. After the divorce you will test the strength of your relationship. If it is still strong then you can remarry. You can date after a divorce. Do this every 10 years. It'll be like renewing your marriage. Even pre-marriage relationships has breaks to test how strong it is.

Radical? How does the idea sound? What are the flaws?
 

"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.

In order to renew your marriage license, every THREE years, you'd have to do the following:

1) Prove you haven't gained more than 5 lbs

2) Show evidence of having sex at least three times a week

3) Show no increase in debt

4) prove absolute fidelity

If either party misses on any of these, the marriage is annulled. Whoever misses the most goes to jail, and the other party gets everything.

"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.

I really like this. It's called "taking the power back".
