"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.

Ever notice how many 20-30 somethings look and act like little boys? What's with this metrosexual image that guys think is cool and attractive, seems more homosexual to me. Our society has corrupted what being masculine means.

The Catholic Church claims to have God as her founder, and if the God man Jesus Christ is the perfect man, then maybe we can learn what it means to be a real masculine man.

here's a series of short videos that will explain what happened to our societies' males and why they have become feminine and how we can become the masculine knight in shining armor from times past.

"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.

The soul of a woman was created below.

And it's inherently different than that of a man. Christian dogma intended to keep female hypergamy in check with strict, yet reasonable (during marriage) marriage laws. You can't cheat on your spouse, whom you both have invested much time into? Makes sense to me.

I think the worst part about society is how bad television has gotten. Commercials and even TV plotlines are shockingly feminocentric and they debase male worth. My stomach lurches whenever I watch more than 10 minutes of it. I'm pretty fvcking young too, and I don't always remembering it being this way. It seems like the 90's were more "gender neutral" and fair for some reason.

Just earlier today I saw a show called "The Top 20 dumbest dudes," and I wondered, why don't they have the top 20 dumbest b1tches? At least give "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" a proper renaming, yes?

Or try not watching so much TV, going out into the world, and earning what you want out of life?

That sounds difficult. Can't I just watch Don Draper do it?
 

"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.

From what I understand, the man is steeped in drama. Fun to watch, terrible idea to be.

Walking dead became a soap opera season 2 when they fired all the writers from season 1. Did you forget the 6 episode stint where they search for Sofia's daughter and how every man on the show is a b!tch?

*Spoilers ahead*

Woman cheats on husband. Gets mad at husband getting mad at her former lover. Woman needs birth control sends guy out to risk his life in zombie town to get it. Almost all women on the show (besides the one that learns how to shoot a gun) always b!tch, moan, slap the dudes, order them around while its the dudes who always repel the zombies and save everyone. Men are sexist pigs and when they die no one will care (Season 1). End of season 2 super woman zombie killer who brings 2 male zombies around, chained to her as sex slaves. Woman shames the man because he should not keep a secret in their marriage! Same woman keeps the secret of having sex with his best friend and that there is a baby coming, and trying to abort the baby all without him knowing for most of the season...

*Spoilers End*

And here's the argument for madmen:
http://whiskeys-place.blogspot.com.au/2009/08/mad-men-most-feminine-and-revealing.html

Some shows are really blatant about it like Everybody Loves Raymond where it is all "Herp Derp men suck" but some shows do it subtly.

^ thank u this was the point I was trying to make.


You can even do it in a show like Entourage - there's always the implicit debase of man, even though two supercharged alphas are the highlight of the show. Never in the early seasons, either. Spin an argument any way you want about Ari running back to and stalking his wife like a beta, or Prettyboys fall from grace with coke and a pornstar girlfriend. All that was in the last 2 seasons, btw.

I guess the female media got tired of them trading hotties like Pokemon cards earlier on.

I agree with some of what the guy is saying, but I don't need BS Catholic propaganda to replace BS Feminist propaganda. I'll take my truth straight up thanks.

I saw this coming actually and I was hoping that they wouldn't go in this direction, but they fu<ken did. This really pissed me off, ruined the whole show for me.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

imperfect characters are what make stories interesting. im curious what an ideal movie or show would look like to you. and youre looking at this **** very one sided. i can make the same argument about women not coming across good in these shows either. the nagging wives, the overly obsessive clingy mothers, the jealous girlfriends etc etc. its up to the individual to distinguish between reality and fiction, not go online and complain that the media brainwashed you into being a "beta male".

So what, in practical terms, are you guys doing to counteract what the media is selling to women and to you?

I agre in general with the idea the media is debasing mens worth, women love it, men seem to go along with it, and yet, herein lies a glorious opportunity for a man to counter that, by becoming the real man women want.
easier said than done of course but to me, this is the opportunity.

Only thing we can do is to stick to our values and not drop them because the media sells an image of how we should be.

Never ever said media brainwashed people into being beta males. But as others pointed out there is an implicit debase of men, much more than women and after anyone sees it on TV or any other source time and time again, it becomes their reality, their expectations.

Really? I kinda saw men - specifically white men - as always being on top of every other group (especially women) on TV.

That might just be me. But if you made a list of times men are debased on TV, I could probably come up with 2 examples of minorities and women being debased for your 1.

I don't usually disagree with you much, Arcbound, but on this one, I don't think we'll see eye to eye.

Plus, this kind of conversation, though mentally stimulating, is masturbation. New guys should know that you should worry about the media's portrayal of you about as much as you should worry about the weather. Be aware of it, be practical about it, but don't let it decide what you do with your life.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Media plays a big part in gender reversals as well as the divorce rates.

For instance give me the top rated shows on television. I gurantee you that these shows are feminine. When these little kids grow up and watch all this tv I think they are going to be influenced heavily by it.

Also when a boy is raised by his only mom he tends to be overly sensitive and have a lot of estrogen spirit in him.

I would go more in detail but I am at work now.

Know what plays a bigger role in divorce rates?

Poor life choices.

I'm still confused at how half of you think this even matters, and how the other half thinks that whatever AXE body spray commercials say REALLY affect how we're living.

Wake up, people. It's TV. It has as much effect on you as YOU let it, and anyone who makes life choices based on what they hear on TV deserves the sh*thole they end up in.

Christ. Someone back me up on this?

I'm saying divorce rates have a lot to do with the de-masculation of males.

Of course TV has as much effect on us that we let it but that really means nothing because it does play a big part in todays society.

And I'm saying that I think if a guy hasn't learned by the time he gets a job that TV is just TV, then he probably needs to get a divorce under his belt. That might be the only thing that gives him a wake-up call.

One great way to show masculinity is by having strong hands and massaging women. Beautiful women will literally line up to have you massage them once one of them becomes orgasmic. Girls will melt in your arms and submit the way a cat does when you pick it up by the scruff of the neck. You will have a harem in minutes.
 

"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.
