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.
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.
I know of a few guys like this. The impression I get is that these guys are happy to have a pretty girl to go out with and spend some time with, and don't really mind spending a few bucks for the experience. I really don't know if they're getting any sex or not, but let's say no. I think that given their lack of options, this scenario is better for them than nothing.
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.
Hell I can sense when a man and woman are out and he’s in the friend zone and I’m a man! I can show you all the signs that give it away. I think even men that do have other options STILL get stuck in this friend zone crap because they won’t step back and admit what’s going on. They could easily be out with a girl that is interested in them but the time and effort they’ve put into one woman that’s never going to pay off makes them stick around.
Move to a country that doesn't fvck you up through the divorce courts.
It's because he thinks he has "game" when it's actually a game within the feminine frame.
I am not moving to some 3rd world sh1thole just for a woman..... No woman is worth giving up my US citizenship...... I'm doing just fine occassionally banging strippers in the VIP......
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.
There probably is an ego component to the whole thing. Such a guy might come on SoSuave and post "Hey, I was out with an HB9 last night". Just the fact that she goes out with him at all is probably validation on some level to them.
Like I said though, the guys I know that are like this actually take out multiple women, so it isn't like they put all their effort into one woman. They just get friendzoned by them all. I know one guy who moons over about three different women, but can't really get anywhere with any of them. I imagine if one of them really did give them some true affection, he would narrow his focus to her.
We need to get a list compiled.
I guess you're never been out of the states....
Bali in Indonesia and Da Nang in Vietnam, would be my top choice.
I like my gun rights.

You must be having daily orgasms just by being next to it, since you're obviously not using it daily.
I like having it next to me. It's the great equalizer.
