I agree with all of the hidden messages. The one about "you remind me of your brother" may not always mean the same thing though. I head on Love Line that women marry men who are similar to males they grew up around, like dads, grandpas, and brothers. This is what their ideas of a man are. Does anyone agree with this?
"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.
W0manese!

"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.

wow.. never noticed there were so many different ways to get rejected 
"I only see you as a friend"
Well, there was once this girl, several years older, who told me she wants nothing out of our relationship other than being friends.
She knew I had feelings for her, but always gave me hints that we can't get beyond friendship. One day I upset her, she says "bye" and goes away.
I considered that she doesn't want to see me anymore, so I totally ignored her presence, as if she doesn't exist.
A while later she talked to me again, and a while later she said that she loves me
It showed her I'm not desperate, I have a life, I can get other women.
So whenver a girl tells you that she only wants you as a friend, keep those DJ tactics on fire, if you play your cards right, she'll fall anyway.

Cheers.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Master Don Juan
got a woman3se question for you.
Her: "Yeah, guys here suck at flirting."
Me: "Yeah, guys suck in general and men are friggen awesome."
Her: "Yeah, you need to teach men how to flirt. You could call it flirting 101."
Me: "thanks..."
I wasn't really expecting it, but I got that from both of the girls at the table. I knew both of them for a long while. I would always flirt with them all the time.
