"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.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

As a digital forensics guy I can tell you, this is not hype, smart phones are sending out all kinds of stuff on you all the time. But where the hype does come in is what gets done with it. It’s not quite so simple to go to the computer and say “hey pull up everything that Bob Smith has done in the past month and put it on one screen in a split second”. If somebody really wants to track you on a personal level they can do it. But even for the government extracting the data and using it sensibly is way more difficult than collecting it from the phone.

Well, it is true beyong what you think. On some phone secret services can dial even if its off and listen in. When mafia meets here, they turn their phones off. If they are old school, if new sht they don’t take it with them.

Look into nokia 6700. You can still buy a good copy from china, site is aliexpress dot com. Good sht.

Tho, I personally recommend you getting iphone 7 or 8 or 10 and forget about it. That’s what I have.

You’re not a criminal, don’t sweat it.

The writer, Dean Koontz has a fiction series called the Jane Hawk series. You can tell he has done a lot of research into the books. It's about an FBI agent going rogue after her Marine husband kills himself. I won't spoil it but its a real eye opener into the digital world of tracking someone. Especially the GPS in your vehicles.

This is my viewpoint. Who cares. I don't do anything wrong on it and I don't take a huge amount of pictures or post on social media.

I went to Arbys last week and that night my phone sent me something saying "How was Arbys?"
I thought how did they know I went to Arbys?

In three different ways. You connecting to Arbys free WiFi, cell tower triangulation, you being in vicinity of Arbys. Frankly you can get SMS like that even if you have none tracking old school phone, just you being in vicinity of a business is enough. It's your cell company that's fcking with you. There that to be a way to turn off advertising and random SMS, try going to online personal cabinet for your plan and see all checked services. It will be either a checked services or you have to add some service to turn that sht off.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
