"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.

I'd recently joined the free dating site plentyoffish following advice from here. After receiving no replies to my messages and hearing about how women are bombarded I decided to see for myself.

I set up a fake profile (HB7) to see how bad the bombardments actually were.

Feel free to log in and check the account, the amount of messages received every 5 minutes is frightening! If you always wondered why girls never reply to you then this is why. They're completely overwhelmed.
 

"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.

Ha I've already spotted someone has been sending out messages from the account I made...

''  
That's "our" first date, not "are".

On and nothing. Because there won't be one.''

Come which one of you was it LMAO!

About half a dozen people on this forum has done this "experiment" now. And everyone has gotten the same results. I'm starting to wonder why guys keep doing this? It reminds me of all the jokes you used to hear about "there are no women on the internet". I think its pretty much time to let this go, unless of course you like getting attention from other men. :kick:

I've closed my account following this. Always knew women had an advantage online.

I can clearly see now why people complain about women never replying, they're completely overwhelmed regardless of what game you may be using.
 

"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.

I think every man has to see it for himself.

No. No they don't. It's called learning from the experience of others.

It's difficult to learn from others without going and and practicing for yourself. No two people are the same.

I guess you should stick your fingers in the wall sockets then. Because no two people are the same, and you might not get the blistering pain from shock coming from 220 volts running through your gut.
 

"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.

Couldn't you have thought of a better analogy there? My way of learning had no risks involved.

Yes, that's true. I've done a similar thing in the past to see what happens.

Truth be told, I honestly couldn't be bothered sending out messages to chicks on online dating.

I do have profiles up and in that I clearly list the kind of girl that I'm looking for. And if you do have standards and list them, you'd be surprised how often a girl will contact you (not often, but sometimes).

Generally not a HB8/9 AW but some HB6s or 7s. Plus some chaff you could never be attracted to.

So, having a profile set up is not that large a time investment. Simply consider it a supplement to other pick ups in "real life".
