"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.

Right behind you
My uncle's first wife was a truck dispatcher and ended up cheating on him with a truck driver. Uncle comes home one day to find some dude in the same bed as his wife. He said he didn't want any problems and that he just wants her out of the house. She said "ok fine, but let me get my stuff from the other room". He said ok and she ended up calling the cops on him for beating her, even though it wasn't true at all. Uncle gets arrested and has to go to court. My dad goes with him too to find out what's gonna happen. He said he saw blood that day and was never more angry in his life. The only reason he didn't kill her was because his brother (my uncle) told him not to haha. Anyway, the ***** ends up taking half of what he has. Sad story, but just one of many that you guys have all heard of before.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I had one that tried to hit me while driving. I dumped her on the side of the road and never went back for her. We did reconcile, and never had a problem ever again.
You never had a problem again because you gave a strong enough repurcussion

I don't do violence. Not saying I don't mind some rough secks, but outside of the bedroom, violence is unacceptable in my book. Shows clear disrespect...

My exwife got violent with me once, like hit me a bunch... needless to say, part of the reason she is an ex...

Yup, my ex was a bully, verbal and psychological. She knew I was AFC enough that she could get away with it.

I am glad I am not that guy anymore.
