"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.

"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.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
there have been other people with the same calculating ability. numbers aren't that special to be honest.
what i find more fascinating is that they are using some kind of 'method' that they aren't even aware of to do these computations.
it kind of suggests to me that there is so much more to life than we realize. that there are 'methods' or 'schemas' of how 'things' relate to each other that we haven't even discovered yet.
the human mind is capable of amazing things...

whats amazing to me is that he isnt retarded in any other way like rain man or anything. just an ordinary guy with awesome abilities. like you could go get a drink and hang out with him. if he worked out he'd actually be good-looking.
I've heard of similar things that involve synethesia in people who have perfect pitch.
I found it hilarious that one person in the video got hit in the head with a baseball and then was able to remember the weather of everyday in his life.

I feel sorry for Savants. They are brilliant in some areas but at the expense of others. It just proves that there is limit to how much information the human brain can maintain without losing other cognative abilities. Most would give up this gift just to be normal and live a normal life.
"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.

its just because they are too busy being intelligent.

It sounded like he was thinking-in-pictures, in which case he's probably either autistic or been touched by autism. That would explain why he can do his numbers trick.joekerr31 said:
There's a lot of people who think that there is an apparent link between autism and genius. Some PhD's and some Nobel Prize winners were autistic and have said they did what they did because of their autism and not in spite of it.
If you want to know more, check out a book called "Thinking in Pictures" by a woman with a PhD who is autistic. Also, Asperger's Syndrome is the type of High Functioning Autism most associated with genius.
FYI: It's pronounced "Asp-er-gers" and not "Azz-burger". It's named after the man who first wrote about it, and it's not an Azz-hamburger.
One woman who is a low-functioning autistic explained that for years she couldn't talk because she didn't realize the sounds she was hearing was someone trying to communicate with her.
If the genius-autism like is correct this also explains why most geniuses have been men: because more men get autism than women. Even without that, we do only have one X chromosome to defend us from mutation, and by it's very nature genius is statistically abnormal.

If autism is the source of his genius then the idea that he has 'lost' something isn't true. An autistic never had it to begin with.DJDamage said:
The research seems to indicate that brains come in different flavors. Did mint-chocolate chip ice cream somehow 'lose' its cherry flavor? No, mint-chocolate chip ice cream never tasted like cherry to start with. The same seems to be true of the various kinds of brains.
Which reminds me... you know all those genius / engineers out in Silicon Valley? Guess what, their kids have a higher rate of autism than the general population: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aspergers_pr.html

Hmm, more proof of the power of visual thinking. I read a book on this once called the Einstein Factor, it taught a technique called image streaming that's supposed to develop visual thinking and increase IQ. I never really stuck with the method because I had other things on my plate, but perhaps I'll give it another shot over the Christmas break.
"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.
