"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.

HOW THE **** DO YOU GUYS DO IT??

I find it amazing! I was using my goggle today and one of my date opened her eyes and end up choking cause she was laughing I need one and she doesn't, so a lot of kino was done

but that's not the point

the point is

HOW?!! I thought it was the movie only!!
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

This is retarded.

How can you NOT swim with your eyes open? Its not difficult.

Anyway, you should avoid opening your eyes if in a pool because of the chlorine.

Why are you posting about this asking HOW we do it? Its not a physical limitation for you, its just extra sensitive for you. Big deal - wear goggles.
 

"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.

Keep em open, you'll get used to it. First it's awkward, then i gets easier. If you swim everyday, use eye protection, otherwise, the choice is up to you. However, we're not fish, so you won't see too well without goggles.

How people do it - they go underwater and open their eyes. Some even leave their eyes open as they go underwater.

Well, you wanted to know how people do it right?

If you want to know why some people can and why you can't, well that's already been answered. Some people's eyes are more sensitive than others, therefore those with less sensitive eyes don't get as irritated by water.

My eyes are extremely irritated by water, but even worse, my nose is. I have a deviated septum, and I can't stop water from going into my nose, unless I blow out of my nose the entire time I'm underwater. So I have to wear the goggles that cover your eyes AND nose when I'm in the pool. But since I hate the pool, it isn't much of an issue...we have one @ home, and I havent been in it in 3 or 4 years.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

try getting ocean water into your eyes. Once you can accustom yourself to that, the pool will be nothin!

Also, be sure not to think about it. Just dive into the pool and open your eyes right away. The adrenaline should take care of any hesitation and psychologically influenced pain you experience.

Why not just wear freaking goggles, and not care what some random girl thinks? If it makes you more comfortable, do it.
