"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.

Testosterone levels declining in American men

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

More and more men have desk jobs, with women superiors, that's why. And that's why I got out of my desk job many moons ago. I'm blue-collar hard-working now, big bicepts, kick ass.

"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.

Not surprising. I mean our grandfathers stormed the beach of Normandy. Their grandsons are getting highlights in their hair and wearing black nail polish and I'm supposed to be surprised?

You guys are probably right in that it is tied to a decline in physical activity. The obesity epidemic may be related as well.

"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.

I think that we are like the Romans with all the things in the food.

The Romans put lead in their water and it fvcked them up. We put chemicals and sh!t in our foods and we are probably done for.

Does anyone who's aware of it really expect all those female hormones pumped into farm animals to make them soft and fat would not do the same to humans, at least to some degree?

The movie "Dr Strangelove - how I learned to love the bomb" gave us the answer - it's the added fluoride in water!!

The decline in testosterone levels in men is directly correlated to the rise in obesity. When 66% of the American populace is clinically overweight and a full 33% are classified as 'Morbidly Obese' testosterone levels in men is only one result. Weight related disease, corinary problems, diabetes, some forms of cancer, blood pressure, etc. can all be traced to the rise in our weight.

I wish to cancel my "fluoride" answer and go with Rollo on this one -- obesity!

I don't know, maybe it's wrong of me, but I'm starting to feel angered when I see fat people.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
