"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.

Bummer for him, but I still would bet he didn't wait until the flame died down a bit and her true colors began to show before he knocked her up.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Yes, it is a very good book, which I very much enjoyed reading.

Still thinking about that paragraph about a man's sexual partners & those to whom he's attracted being a reflection of his own self-esteem... at first thought, I think a distinction between FBs and relationship partners should be made.

As long as you see a distinction within you personal experiences that is all that matters. Not everyone will nor may want to see that difference. Good point though. :up:
