"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.

ive known this chick for atleast 6 months or so. 2 months ago me and her went to vegas. before vegas we really didnt know each other that well. we knew each other from the bar she worked at. I would tip her standard. so on the way to vegas she says youre not a good tipper etc.(in my head i was like f u i aint giving a big tip for no reason).

last night we are out and my roomate says you are frugal (cheap). that girl is like yea you are frugal. So i said to her you cant say that cause you saw me in vegas. I tipped the dealers easily aroud 400-500 dollars. she still insisted on saying i was cheap. I think her and my roomate think im cheap because i got expensive sh1t and i dont throw money there way a pay for sh1t. i think if i didnt have a nice car and other nice things they wouldnt be saying that. so i guess im not cheap with myself but with others.
 

"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.

Man this is so true. If there's one thing I hate it's people telling me what I should be doing with my money. If you earn it, only you should decide how you're going to spend it. This get on my nerves so much, I can't think of anything now that bothers me more.

I think a person should be considered cheap if they don't pitch in on things and freeload off people. There no is reason to be throwing money around for no obvious reason.

They are just trying to punk youinto buying crap for them. Be a man and stand up. Don't justify yourself to them.
 

"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.

Yeah screw them man, you're not required to blow money on things if you don't want to. As long as you're not freeloading off of them, its none of their business.

Slightly off topic, the whole tipping etiquette in North America is out of control.

In most of the world tipping is either not required, or if you do, 5 percent maybe, 10% if service was amazing.

Here we think 15 is the ABSOLUTE minimum (even for jobs that shouldn't get a tip at all in my opinion) and lots of people will leave way more than that.

Don't give me bs about how those people need tips because the pay is ****, I have friends that make enough money for the week in 2 nights from tips, it's stupid.

People should take the base pay the job offers - don't like it, find a better one. IF, IF they do a very good job, they deserve a little extra. The all but obligatory tipping we have serves no purpose except to get more money out of people, and to give them a chance to look generous.

I still tip 10-15% unless service was really bad when I go out, but I don't feel the need to add a $20 on top of a $40 total just to look like the big man.
