"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 am in the market to buy a new camera to replace one that got stolen. I have narrowed it down to three or four models.

The Canon SX10 IS, The G9, the Ixus(the one I had), or the TX1. Right now I am leaning towards the sx10 because it has 20x optical zoom.

All of your input would be greatly appreciated. THank you.
 

"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.

The G9 is now obsoleted by the G10, which I just bought. If you don't mind the slight bulk and cost the G10 is one hell of a camera.

I will settle for either the g9 or g10 model, depending on the price. What is the zoom like on the g series. This is a concern of mine because I would like to take some long distance photo's of animals, ect...

If you truly want good photos, think about getting a DSLR. Small point and shoot cameras are good for very few things. Of course, that depends on how much you are into photography.

If you want a really long telephoto get a D40 and the 70-200 f4L


The G10 is not equipped with a long telephoto lens, but it's awesome as a packing around camera. The WA view is equivalent to a SLR 28mm and with 14 mp there is quite a lot of crop available. The response times for all functions is admirably short and I'm just tickled with it.

It's the first point and shoot I ever used that didn't make me grind my teeth and wish I had my dSLR.
 

"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.

The G10 is the next gen of that series, it's the best Canon can make it. What *I* love is that it feels like a camera, not a flashy gadget that makes digital images. It has the knobs and buttons and responsiveness to actually be a serious picture making machine.

Love the dedicated exposure comp wheel, ISO wheel and the speed and clarity of the mode displays. I took it to the Philippines on a recent vacation and it was amazing. First time I never missed my dSLR, seriously.
