"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.

It's been a few weeks since I last posted pictures, so I figured I'll put up a gallery with the shots I took on Saturday night. I'm currently in the process of becoming a photographer. As I'm still in college, and haven't had the opportunity to work with very many models (which is changing soon hopefully), they didn't all come out as I would have liked.

Right now, I'm working on developing my own style - though with a fashion show, it's hard to do that. Basically, it was me and 2 other photographers running around and taking pictures as the opportunities presented themselves. I added to my portfolio only one of the shots I took, which wasn't even of the show itself - it was from "behind the scenes". Being "new", I was about to take pictures of all of the models changing clothes at the end of the show - until one of the other guys was like "Um, I don't think they would like it if you took pictures of them while they're all naked. The shot I added to my portfolio is a edited version of PICT2093.JPG (removed some of the flash off of the stairs, minor retouching on the face, etc... http://www.jbspencer.com/portfolio - under portrait - color, I believe...)

Anyway, here are the pictures (resized so they don't come up as huge shots):

Let me know what you all think. Obviously this isn't a show comparable to any you'd find in NYC or elsewhere, these were pretty much local girls who just happened to shop at the store putting it on, or had a friend who told them about it...

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"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.

Canon Powershot A85 here. Excellent camera for its price range.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.
