One of my best friends, is suddenly becoming a pimp, and Im too proud and competitive to feel good for him. What should I do???
Thanks!
Thanks!
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.
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.
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.

Exactly the reply i thought of after reading the title.Igetit! said:You want to know what you should do if your best friend is getting more girls than you? Oh that's easy.
YOU LEARN FROM HIM!!!
(ridiculous)
Hey this happens to me too. And i must confess sometimes its overpowering. But yeah, you must realise that he is your friend. Smile and do your thing. I have a very good friend who gets nearly two times the chicks that i get. But the catch is, they range from HB5 to HB8 and lol, thats where my range starts. I go for chicks only above HB8. So i guess it all depends on knowing what you aim for and how much effort you put in it. Bottomline: be detached. Do your thing.zekko said:I'll confess I tend to have this mindset as well. Not with the best friend business, but just with anyone. I tend to think that all women should be aspiring to be with meAnyway, when someone comes in and draws more female attention than I do it seriously p!sses me off. Part of this is natural male competitiveness, part of it is just evil and envy.
But like stonetowers says, do your own thing. There are plenty of women to go around for everybody. Well, pretty much almost everybody.
With that attitude, you will always be a bottom-feeder, and play second banana to your friend, and to more skilled guys than you. Yet, the solution is in your environment.lokariototal said:One of my best friends, is suddenly becoming a pimp, and Im too proud and competitive to feel good for him. What should I do???

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
Well, honestly, I wasn't even talking about a friend. What I had in mind specifically in this case is this new dude at work. It's very clear the HB8s and above are very attracted to this guy, he forms very close relationships with them, and they are always off whispering with him and whatnot. I'm not sure what it is that he's doing other than he manages to form very strong connections with them.kokane said:Hey this happens to me too. And i must confess sometimes its overpowering.
