"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.

I've noticed with nearly all the women I've dated in the last year, when they initiate texts with me, they are saying something about themselves. What they are doing, what they are excited about, something that happened to them, etc. They almost never initiate texts by asking me a question. When I initiate texts (which is extremely rare after we start sleeping together), I usually ask a question to start the conversation...... I mean, that's the same thing I'd do when approaching someone on the street or starting up conversation with someone I know in real life. So it does seem strange how women (at least the ones I've dated) always start texts with a note about themselves.

Have you noticed the same?
 

"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.

Nope. Usually I get "hey" or "good morning" texts.

Text messaging is stupid. It's just a woman's way of getting your attention. What they say actually doesn't matter. My ex always texts me "." Just attention seeking BS. I always respond by making a date or if the date is already set up just deflecting into something funny for a few exchanges then letting it die. If they really try to have lame "how are you?" conversations I have one response:

"Call me."

I hate talking on the phone to ANYONE. Prefer texting. Voice quality on cell phones is one technology that has gone downhill. I never minded talking on old analog cell phones for those of you who know what those are (hint: Google 'Zack Morris phone' to see the one I had). But these phones now SUCK for talking. The quality isn't as good and calls drop too easily. Plus they are uncomfortable to hold to the ear and speaker phones suck. So do ear pieces. Did I say I hate talking on them yet?

The secret to good text game is don't do too much of it. Exchange a few texts maybe 4-5 each with your woman and stop for a while. Don't sit and do it all day. That's where a lot of guys kill themselves with texting, TOO MUCH of it.
 

"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.

I dont agree with this necessarily. Text CONTENT is more important than text FREQUENCY.

They dont kill themselves due to frequency, they kill themselves due to content. But for those that don't understand this, when they text more frequently, they give themselves more chances to fvck up the content of the texts. For those who are good are texting, this is not an issue.
